Personalized Customer Success: Use video to drive product adoption. Now you can personalize your communications with every single user to drive product adoption and increase loyalty.

Where to get started:

1. Set up your Tolstoy account: Tolstoy allows you to build personalized, one-on-one interactive conversations to put on your website, send in emails campaigns, inside your SaaS platform, and much more.

2. Sign up for Synthesia: With Synthesia you can generate pre-recorded AI videos from text in 40+ languages.

So how do you do it?

1. First, prepare your videos. Depending on your use case, determine how many videos you’ll want to use. We recommend between 3-6 separate videos. Keep the scripts as short as possible, around 30 seconds each.

2. Go to Synthesia, and generate your videos. For extra help on best practices, check out their help guides.

3. Next, head over to Tolstoy and create a new Tolstoy. Then choose “Make my own” and "Upload a video" option. Upload your Synthesia video. You can add overlay text, and decide how people should "answer" the particular step. Click save, and you have your first "step"!

4. Create more steps in Tolstoy until you have created a personalized conversation flow.

5. Then you're ready to share your Tolstoy. You can embed on your website, as a pop up widget, or in an email campaign.

6. Track interactions in the Tolstoy dashboard to monitor progress and optimize the journey.
