Video Production Brief

Sync Tax Recovery Agent Walkthrough — screen recording with voiceover — March 2026
What this is: A shot-by-shot guide for recording the product walkthrough video. Screen recording of Kathryn running the agent on an anonymized meeting list. Not a talking head. Not a course module. A live demonstration showing the agent producing real output, with voiceover explaining what's happening and why it matters.

Technical Specs

FormatScreen recording + voiceover (Loom, OBS, or native screen recorder)
Target length10–15 minutes. Aim for 12.
What's on screenThe agent conversation in ChatGPT or Claude. Full screen, no distractions.
AudioKathryn's voice narrating what's happening. No background music. No intro jingle.
EditingMinimal. Cut wait times while the AI generates (or speed up). No transitions, no graphics overlays, no text animations.
Input dataUse an anonymized meeting list. Can be based on the case study firm or a composite. Must look realistic — real meeting names, real frequencies, real team roles.
ToneDirect, conversational, calm. You're showing a colleague how this works, not presenting at a conference. Same voice as the brand.

Before Recording

Set up the agent

Create the ChatGPT Project (or Claude Project) with the system prompt from sync-tax-recovery-agent-v1.md. Run through it once before recording to make sure the output is clean. Note any spots where the agent asks a question or pauses — you'll want to have your responses ready so the recording flows.

Prepare the input

Have an anonymized meeting list ready to paste. Suggested structure (based on the case study but genericized):

Rates to use

Tools to mention

"The team uses Slack and Google Docs." (Keep it common — most of the ICP uses these or close equivalents.)

Shot List — Six Beats

Pacing: The video should feel like watching someone use a tool, not watching someone teach. The voiceover adds context at key moments but doesn't narrate every line. Let the agent's output speak for itself. Pause to comment on the moments that matter — the classification that surprises, the cost number, the CEO Memo output, the kill script.
Beat 1: Open + Meeting List Input 0:00 – 2:00
On screen: Open the agent. The first message appears — the agent introduces itself and asks for the meeting list. Paste the prepared meeting list.
"I'm going to run this on a firm that looks like most of my clients — 8-person accounting practice, weekly team meeting, a few check-ins and reviews. I've got five recurring meetings. I'm pasting them all in — don't filter. Include the ones you think are fine. The agent will tell you which ones are."

What matters here: The buyer sees what "good input" looks like. They see it's not complicated — just list the meetings with basic details. Lower the friction for when they do it themselves.

Tip: Paste the whole block at once. Don't type meeting by meeting — that's slow and doesn't reflect how people actually use it.

Beat 2: Classification Output 2:00 – 5:00
On screen: The agent classifies each meeting. The classification table appears — meeting name, IT/CW/SPLIT, reasoning, diagnostic question.
"Here's where it gets interesting. The Monday team meeting — classified as SPLIT, 70% IT, 30% CW. The first half is announcements, policy reminders, new client introductions. That's all information transfer — it doesn't need a room. The second half is discussion. That's collaborative work. That stays."

Pause on the team meeting classification. This is the "aha" moment for the buyer. Most practice owners think their team meeting is collaborative because people are in the room together. The classification reveals that the first 30 minutes are broadcast disguised as collaboration.

"That's the pattern I see in every firm. The meeting feels collaborative because everyone's present. But if you recorded the first 30 minutes and played it back, you'd see one person talking and everyone else listening. That's IT. And the agent caught it."

Don't comment on every meeting. Highlight the team meeting (the main event), one pure IT meeting (the check-in), and one pure CW meeting (the monthly planning). The buyer gets the idea from three examples.

Beat 3: Cost Calculation 5:00 – 6:30
On screen: The sync tax summary table appears — each IT meeting with weekly hours and annual cost. The total line.
"There's the number. [Read the total — e.g., '$X per year in sync tax.'] That's the cost of meetings where one person talks and everyone else listens. Not the total meeting cost — just the information transfer portion."

Do not react with hype. Don't say "wow" or "can you believe it?" Read the number. Reference the benchmark briefly — "this is consistent with what we see in firms this size." Move on. The math does the work. Understatement is more credible than excitement.

This is a 60-90 second beat. Quick. The number lands and you move to the fix.

Beat 4: CEO Memo System Build 6:30 – 10:00

This is the longest and most important beat. The buyer needs to see the complete system being built — not a summary, the actual output.

On screen: The agent introduces the CEO Memo system, then builds it: memo structure (5 sections with word limits), AI project instructions (paste-ready), delivery protocol (Friday/Monday cadence), and the kill script.
"Now it's building the replacement. This is the Friday CEO Memo system — the same system that's been running in a real firm for over six months. The owner enhanced it on his own by week four. Watch what it produces."

As the memo structure appears:

"Five sections, each with a word limit. Priority focus, deadlines, announcements, team wins, and a fixed questions section that stays the same every week. The word limits matter — they keep it scannable. Nobody reads a 2,000-word memo."

As the AI project instructions appear:

"These are the instructions you paste into your own ChatGPT or Claude project. You don't have to write them. The agent wrote them for you, customized for this firm's specific meetings. Copy, paste, done."

Scroll through the full output. Let the buyer see the volume of what was produced. Don't rush past it. This is where $27 starts to feel like a steal — they're looking at output that would take a consultant hours to build.

Tip: If you need to cut time anywhere, don't cut this beat. The CEO Memo build is the product in action. Everything else supports this moment.

Beat 5: The Kill Script 10:00 – 11:30
On screen: The agent produces the kill script — the team communication announcing the meeting change.
"This is the part most people skip when they try to change a meeting on their own. They just... stop holding it. Or they announce the change in the meeting itself with no context. The kill script handles the transition. It tells the team what's changing, why, what they need to do differently, and what stays the same."

Read one line from the kill script to show the tone. Point out the resistance-handling language — the part that frames it as an upgrade, not a cut.

"Notice the framing: 'This gives you the information earlier — Friday instead of Monday morning — and gives us more time on Monday for the work that actually needs us in the room together.' That's not 'I'm canceling your meeting.' That's 'your meeting is getting better.' The language matters."
Beat 6: The "Do One Thing" Close 11:30 – 12:30
On screen: The agent offers the choice — deploy this one and come back, or keep going with remaining meetings.
"Right here — the agent offers to stop. 'Deploy this Friday. If it holds, come back and we'll do the next one.' That's intentional. One meeting replaced and holding is worth more than five planned and never started. Do the CEO Memo this Friday. See what happens Monday. If it works — and it will, because the same system has been holding for six months in a real firm — come back and the agent builds the next one."

Close with the deployment timeline:

"So that's it. You paste your meetings in. The agent classifies them, calculates the cost, and builds the replacement system — memo structure, AI instructions, delivery protocol, kill script. Takes about 45 minutes. Deploy it Friday. Monday's meeting is different that same week. Open the agent now and run it on your own meetings."

No pitch for Advisory OS in the video. The bridge lives inside the agent (Phase 5), not in the walkthrough. End on the deployment action, not a sales transition.

Recording Tips

Speed up AI generation

If the agent takes 15–30 seconds to produce output, speed those segments up in editing (2x or 3x) or cut to the result. The buyer doesn't need to watch text stream in real time. They need to see the input and the output.

Don't script the voiceover word-for-word

The "say" notes above are talking points, not a teleprompter. The video should sound like you're showing a colleague something you've already used, not reading a script. Talk to the screen. React to the output naturally.

One take is fine

This doesn't need to be polished. It needs to be real. A clean one-take screen recording with natural narration is more credible than a produced video with cuts and transitions. If you stumble on a word, keep going — it sounds human.

Browser zoom

Set your browser to 125% or 150% zoom so the agent text is readable at video resolution. Small text in a screen recording is the #1 reason these videos don't work.

Close other tabs

Only the agent tab should be visible. No notifications, no bookmarks bar, no other tabs showing. Clean screen.

Test audio before recording

Use a decent microphone — AirPods are fine, laptop mic is not. The voiceover is half the value. If the audio is bad, nothing else matters.
