Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Tella

Ask your AI to find the Tella video where you explained a feature, and it searches titles and transcripts. It can read clip transcripts and captions, check view analytics, organize videos into playlists and tags, and update sharing settings. It can also set chapters, cut filler words and silences from a clip, and start an export.

Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.

Try asking

“Find the video where I walk through the new pricing page.”
The AI searches your videos by title and transcript and returns the matches.
“How many views did our onboarding videos get last month?”
It reads view analytics for the videos or the whole workspace for the date range you give.
“Write chapters for the product demo video.”
It reads the clips and transcripts, then sets a chapter list with titles and start times. Setting chapters replaces the existing ones.

What your AI can do

Find and read videos

Search videos by title or transcript, read clip transcripts, captions and chapters, and get each video's details and links.

Organize and share

Create and update playlists, add tags, add collaborators and change a video's name, description and sharing settings.

Edit, export and measure

Cut filler words and silences, set chapters, export videos to downloadable files and read view analytics.

“Put the three customer webinars in a new playlist called Webinars.”
It creates the playlist and adds each video to it.
“Cut the ums and long pauses from the first clip of my latest video.”
It removes filler words and silent pauses from that clip. This edits the clip, so you can require approval first.
“Export the sales demo in 1080p with subtitles.”
It starts an export with the resolution and burned-in subtitles, then checks the export status and gets the download link.

Questions

What can the AI do in Tella?

The AI can list and search videos, read clips, transcripts, captions, chapters, exports, playlists, tags and view analytics. It can create and update playlists, add videos to playlists, add tags and collaborators, update video settings, set chapters, cut filler words and silences, start exports and delete videos.

Does the AI see my Tella API key?

No. Your Tella API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start with search and analytics only. Deleting a video is permanent, and cutting filler words or silences edits a clip, so these can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Tella account.

Can the AI edit my videos?

Partly. It can cut filler words and silent pauses from a single clip, replace a video's chapters and change settings such as name, description and link sharing. It works on videos already in Tella, and it cannot record new ones.
