An AI explainer video generator for people with something real to explain

Explainer videos fail when the facts drift. This approach writes the animation as code from your own document, so a figure on screen is the figure in your source.

How it works

You hand your coding agent a document: a report, lesson notes, a script, a changelog.
It writes a storyboard: one sentence per scene and where each number came from. You approve it.
It builds the video in a style you pick, checks it, and opens a preview with a timeline.
Optional narration is generated from lines you approve, and scenes are timed to the audio.
It renders an MP4 on your computer.

What it is good at

Titles, big numbers, charts, step-by-step lists, quotes and a closing takeaway. Lessons, metric reviews, product updates and how-it-works pieces.

What it does not do

It does not generate footage, characters or a presenter. If you need a face on screen, pair it with a presenter tool or a camera.

Paper Editorial

Essays, explainers, thought pieces

Warm paper, a serif headline and one rust accent. Unhurried, like a magazine feature.

Blueprint

Architecture, systems, technical walkthroughs

Deep navy grid with cyan linework. Everything is drawn as an outline and wipes on like a plotter.

Kinetic Poster

Launches, promos, social cuts

Black stage, condensed type at poster scale and one acid colour. Words land hard and fast.

Quiet Keynote

Product stories, investor updates

A pale stage, generous space and calm numbers on white cards. One figure owns each frame.

Chalk Lesson

Teaching, tutorials, course modules

A green board with handwritten headings and a yellow highlight. Steps are written out one by one.

Ledger

Reports, metrics reviews, finance

White page, mono figures and a single green for growth. Built so charts stay readable.

Terminal

Dev tools, changelogs, CLI demos

A charcoal terminal window in mono with a green prompt. Lines print in steps, like real output.

Sunrise

Brand reels, announcements, event openers

A coral-to-violet wash with rounded white type. Friendly and bright, with a springy entrance.

Glass

Product stories, premium launches

A pale stage with soft colour in the air and frosted white panels. Calm, expensive-looking, lots of room.

Midnight

Developer products, roadmaps, changelogs

Near-black canvas, hairline borders, tight type and a single lavender glow. Precise and quiet.

Pixel

Tech explainers, playful data stories

Warm cream with orange-to-yellow blocks and square corners. Everything arrives in steps, like pixels lighting up.

Aubergine

Team updates, internal comms, onboarding

Deep purple with warm yellow and chat-bubble panels. Friendly and conversational, like a message from a colleague.

Graph Paper

Technical docs, engineering updates, benchmarks

A light technical grid, mono type and one green for the result that matters. Reads like a careful lab notebook.

Pastel Shapes

Workshops, creative briefs, community posts

Cream paper, playful pastel geometry and mixed round and square shapes. Collaborative and slightly off-grid.

Signal

Announcements, incident reviews, bold statements

Deep black with a slashing red band and heavy white type. Urgent and impossible to skim past.

Harbor

Finance, pricing, business reviews

Deep navy type on pale surfaces with one confident indigo. Trustworthy and tidy, with a soft gradient across the top.

Questions

Do I need video editing skills?

No. You review a storyboard and a preview. You do need a coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor.

Can it add a voiceover?

Yes. Narration in 14 voices and 9 languages is included as monthly credits, and scenes are timed to the audio.

Is my document uploaded?

No. Your agent reads it locally and the render is local. Narration text is sent to the speech provider only if you use voiceover.
