Turn Every Loom Video Into a Task List for Your Team Automatically

2 min read

Stop typing out instructions. Record a Loom, and let AI turn your voice into a structured checklist in your project management tool.

"Did you watch the video?"

You record a Loom to explain a task. You send it to your VA or developer.

Two days later, they ask a question you answered in the video.

Or they miss step 3 because they skimmed it.

The Problem: Video is great for context, bad for reference. You can't "Ctrl+F" a video. The Solution: Auto-convert the video into a checklist.

The Workflow

  • Trigger: New Loom video recorded.
  • Transcribe: Get the text.
  • Extract: AI pulls out "Action Items".
  • Create: Tasks are added to Asana/ClickUp/Trello.
  • Step 1: The Trigger

    * Make.com Trigger: Loom > Watch for New Videos.

    * Filter: Title contains "Task" (so you don't process every random video).

    Step 2: The AI Extraction

    * Module: OpenAI > Create a Completion.

    * Prompt:

    > "I am providing a transcript of a task instruction video.

    > Transcript: {{Transcript}}

    >

    > Extract the Action Items.

    > Format as a JSON list:

    > [{"task": "Resize logo", "details": "Make it 200px wide"}, {"task": "Update header", "details": "Use blue color"}]"

    Step 3: The Iterator

    We have a list of tasks. We need to create separate cards for each one.

    * Module: Flow Control > Iterator.

    * Source: The JSON array from OpenAI.

    Step 4: The Task Creation

    * Module: Asana/ClickUp/Trello > Create a Task.

    * Name: {{task}}

    * Description: {{details}}

    * Attachment: Link to the original Loom video (for context).

    Seeing this in action makes a huge difference. Once configured, the interface provides a clear visual confirmation that your automation is running smoothly, giving you peace of mind that the system is working as intended.

    Why This is Better Than Just Video

  • Accountability: You can check off items. You can't check off a video.
  • Searchability: You can search for "logo" in Trello and find the task.
  • Clarity: The AI removes the "Ums" and "Ahs" and "Maybe we could..." and leaves only the "Do this."
  • Conclusion

    Stop being the bottleneck.

    Stop writing long emails.

    Record, send, and let the robots do the typing.

    Next Step: Connect Loom to Make.com today. Even if you just have it email you the summary, it's a game changer.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does this work with the free version of Loom?

    Loom's API is generally for paid plans. However, you can use the 'Download Video' -> 'Upload to Drive' workaround described in our SOP guide to make this work with any video file.

    Can it assign tasks to specific people?

    Yes! If you say 'Hey Sarah, please fix the logo', the AI can be prompted to extract 'Owner: Sarah'. You can then map that to Sarah's user ID in Asana/ClickUp.

    What if I ramble in the video?

    That's the best part. The AI filters out the rambling. You can talk for 5 minutes, and it will extract the 3 sentences that actually matter.

    Can I use this for bug reports?

    Perfect use case. Record the bug, narrate what's happening. The AI creates a Jira ticket with 'Steps to Reproduce' automatically.
