About Conversa
What is conversational video?
- Conversational video is the core technology that supports video 3.0 – a video format which is interactive, multimedia and multimodal for internet, decentralized web and metaverse applications.
What is Conversa?
- A cloud-based no-code SaaS platform for creating interactive, conversational videos for businesses. The system has tools for writing interview questions, managing streaming videos, and AI training. Conversa is the engine and ecosystem for all StoryFile marketplace products.
How is this different from other mixed reality and AI on the market?
- StoryFile takes mixed reality immersion a step further by using conversational Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing with video to create a question and answer dynamic that recreates a conversation.
- Unlike other AI platforms, Conversa is designed specifically to support interactive video conversations with integrated video management and streaming.
How does StoryFile’s Artificial Intelligence technology work?
- Through Artificial Intelligence technology, StoryFile is recreating face-to-face communication. Our patents include the ‘Natural Conversation Storytelling system’ and ‘Artificially Intelligent Interactive Memory System’ which allow individuals to interview family members or corporations to produce interactive content to support their business. The cloud-based automated system enables everything from question generation, capture, transcription, translation, natural language processing, publishing, distribution, and end-user engagement. When audiences ask a question, our system is able to sift through all corresponding interview clips for that storyfile to find an intuitive conversational response.

Technical Product Details
What features does Conversa have?

How does Conversa AI enable realistic conversations?
- Conversa provides tools to easily record and connect human responses to user questions. These responses can be pre-scripted or drawn from open-ended interviews. One response can actually answer many different questions; these different questions are identified as variants to the original question during AI training. When users engage with an interactive storyfile, their queries are automatically linked with the best responses based on a proprietary semantic encoding. User queries can also trigger other supplemental information such as websites or other conversations.
What languages does Conversa support?
- Conversa provides out-of-the-box support for 15 different languages: English, Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Thai, Turkish, and Russian. Users select their preferred language, and AI automatically compares questions and responses across different languages. Businesses can optionally add additional training data in different languages to further increase accuracy.
What new features are coming in the future?
- Using an agile approach and user feedback, we will continue to optimize the platform on an ongoing basis. Looking ahead, we will be rolling out many additional features and functionality, including but not limited to the following: analytics, video upload enhancements, additional Single Sign-On options, mint NFTs, advanced AI models, and the much-awaited Conversa Studio for easy recording, automated editing, and transcription capabilities.
Does Conversa support Single Sign On?
- Clients can contract with StoryFile to build out custom Single Sign On integrations with their preferred Identify Access Management solution. Starting in May 2022, Conversa will also support standard Single Sign On via Google and Facebook.
How does Conversa keep StoryFile customer and business data secure?
- All StoryFile personal data and video content is private by default. It is up to the Conversa user to decide what information they want to share and where it will be published. StoryFiles can be shared with individuals, specific teams of users or employees, or with the general public. Users can sign up for StoryFile accounts using personal or business email addresses or link to an existing Facebook or Google account. We also support enterprise SSO integration through OpenID and SAML 2.0.
- All interactions with StoryFiles take place over a secure HTTPS connection. Conversation logs can be anonymized, if needed, to remove personally identifying information (PPI). Video data is securely stored and encrypted on the StoryFile cloud. We support both AWS and Azure cloud services and storage backends.
How does Conversa work with existing Learning Management Systems?
- StoryFile conversations can be embedded in SCORM packages compatible with many Learning Management Systems. Conversa also provides in-app capabilities for instructors to design learning activities, invite students to cohorts, define scoring metrics, and analyze performance and provide student feedback.
Who are your clients now and how are they currently using Conversa?
- We have a number of clients that range from top retailers in Fortune 500 companies to startups and museums like the Japanese American National Museum. For more information on current clients using Conversa and creating StoryFiles, check out our case studies.
Why would a business choose an Enterprise vs a Creator subscription?
- It ultimately depends on your business needs. An Enterprise subscription is designed for large businesses that require a larger number of users, data storage and interaction capabilities. A Creator subscription is great for developers and creators to have access to conversational video and Conversa technology with the option of adding additional storage and support features.
Can I change plans if I decide I want to upgrade?
- StoryFile provides basic support (“StoryFile Support”) for the Conversa platform at no additional cost. StoryFile Support will be available between the hours of 9 am to 5 pm Pacific Time. Support inquiries will be entered into StoryFile’s ticketing system and will be responded to in order of receipt by StoryFile. You may purchase additional support levels for an additional fee. All pricing and features are included on the StoryFile website.
What will happen to StoryFile content if the company goes out of business?
- All of the content stored in a Conversa or StoryFile Like account is owned by the client, and clients can download and save all of their video assets and user engagement information.
