Overview​

Welcome to the StoryFile documentation! Here, you'll learn how to create, embed, and optimize interactive StoryFiles using our Conversa AI platform. Whether you're integrating StoryFiles into a web app, customizing the video player, or simply getting started with the basics, this guide will walk you through the essential tools and processes.

What is a StoryFile?​

A StoryFile is an interactive video conversation that transforms how stories are told and experienced. Think of it as a dynamic collection of answers to a set of questions around any subject, whether it’s a person’s life story, a product demo, or an educational module.

Key Features of a StoryFile:​

  • Flexible Content: StoryFiles can include as few as two responses or a limitless set of answers from one or more interviewees.
  • Unique Identification: Each StoryFile is assigned a unique name and numeric identifier.
  • Cross-Platform Accessibility: StoryFiles can be accessed via our interactive Ask video player on web browsers, standalone web pages, or embedded within other sites and applications.

In this section, you’ll learn how to use and customize our video player to deliver an interactive experience tailored to your audience.
