Short answer

How can I track my video renders using AI?

Your AI uses Creatomate tools to look up recent render jobs and check their current status. Once a video is done, the AI provides the direct download link. You get a clear view of your production progress through simple chat commands.

The outcomes

Where your data lands

The AI handles the technical lookups so you can focus on the content.

STATUS

Live progress updates

The AI checks the current state of your video renders. You'll know exactly when a job moves from processing to completed.

LINKS

Direct download access

Once a render finishes, the AI finds the final URL. You can grab the video file immediately for use elsewhere.

HISTORY

Recent render logs

The AI can pull a list of your most recent video jobs. This makes it easy to find files you worked on earlier.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

You still decide which videos to trigger or edit. The AI only reports on the status and provides the resulting links.

The workflow

What your AI does when a render is requested.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and the Creatomate engine.

  1. Find recent jobs

    The AI looks through your recent activity to identify which video renders you are asking about.

    list_recent_renders

  2. Check specific status

    After finding the right job, the AI checks if the video is still rendering or if it has finished.

    get_render_status

  3. Retrieve the file

    When the status shows as completed, the AI extracts the final download URL from the render data.

    get_render_status

  4. Report to you

    The AI presents the status or the download link in your chat window in plain text.
