What is Agent-Ready Videos?
Agent-Ready Videos is a free integration that automatically generates rich, structured descriptions for every video in your widgets. These descriptions help AI agents, search engines, and large language models (LLMs) understand what's happening in your videos — making your content discoverable in ways that weren't possible before.
When a customer asks an AI shopping assistant "show me unboxing videos of summer dresses," your videos can now surface as results — because they finally have context that machines can read.
How to activate
1. Go to Settings > Integrations in your Storista dashboard
2. Find Agent-Ready Videos
3. Toggle it on
That's it. Once enabled, Storista will begin analyzing all existing videos across your widgets. New videos added through content sync will be analyzed automatically going forward.
To disable, simply toggle it off from the same page.
How it works
When you enable Agent-Ready Videos, Storista uses AI to watch each video and generate:
- A descriptive title — a short, factual summary of what the video shows (e.g., "Summer Collection Haul — Maison Bloom")
- A concise description — 1-2 sentences describing the video content, referencing your store or product details naturally
For videos tagged with products, Storista generates additional product-specific descriptions that highlight the relevant product in context.
These descriptions are embedded as structured data (VideoObject schema) on your store pages, which search engines and AI agents can read and index.
What gets analyzed
Videos in your Carousel, Stories, and Spotlight widgets are supported. Storista automatically detects the video source (Instagram or TikTok), reads the caption, duration, and tagged products, then generates descriptions tailored to the content.
Smart and efficient
- No duplicate work — if the same video appears in multiple widgets, it's only analyzed once. The descriptions are shared automatically.
- Store-aware — descriptions reference your store name and product details from Shopify for accuracy.
- Tone matching — UGC content gets authentic framing ("customer haul", "real try-on"), while brand content gets editorial framing ("new arrivals", "curated selection").
Benefits
Discoverable by AI shopping agents
AI-powered shopping assistants and product discovery tools are becoming the new way customers find products. Structured video descriptions let these agents understand and recommend your video content.
Better SEO for video content
Search engines can't watch videos. Structured VideoObject data gives Google and other search engines the context they need to index and surface your videos in search results, including rich video snippets.
Visible to LLMs
When LLMs crawl or reference your store pages, they can now understand your video content — what products are shown, what's happening, and why it matters to shoppers.
Zero effort after setup
Once enabled, every new video synced to your widgets is automatically analyzed. There's nothing to configure, write, or maintain.

FAQ
Is this available on all plans?
Yes. Agent-Ready Videos is available to all Storista customers at no additional cost.
How long does it take to process my videos?
Existing videos are queued for analysis as soon as you enable the integration. Processing time depends on the number of videos in your widgets, but most stores are fully processed within a few hours.
Can I edit the generated descriptions?
Not at this time. Descriptions are generated automatically based on your video content, captions, and product data.
Does this affect how my widgets look?
No. The descriptions are added as invisible structured data for machines to read. Your widget appearance stays exactly the same.
What happens if I disable it?
New videos will no longer be analyzed. Existing descriptions remain on your videos but won't be updated.
