Just tried on Chrome instead of safari and it worked this time. Thanks and congrats on the launch!

Can confirm, it creates slides though, not whiteboard animations. Although the slides are in color and have graphs, clipart, etc. (but they are static and the whiteboard drawing is cooler!)

It created an 8 minute video explaining my Logo-based coding language using 50 sources and it was free.

We have color as well and support graphs and clipart

Popup window with "Load Failed" after it had some progress on the bar past 40% or so. Shows up in the library, but won't play. I just deleted it for now.

Could you try again?

Yes, very soon. We already support this via API and will add to our platform too!
skar01 · 4 months ago
Our API is currently available to our enterprise customers!

I have used AI in the past to learn a topic but by creating a GUI with input sliders and output that I can see how things change when I change parameters, this could work here where people can basically ask "what if x happens" and see the result which also makes them feel in control of the learning

Love it. The tone is just right. A couple of suggestions:

Have you tried a "filled line" approach, rather than "outlined" strokes? Might feel more like individual marker strokes.

I made a demo video on the free tier and it did a great job explaining acoustic delay lines in an accessible fashion, after feeding it a catalog PDF with an overview of the historical artefact and photography of an example unit. Unfortunately the service invented its own idea of what the artefact looked like. Could you offer a storyboard view and let users erase the incorrect parts and sketch their own shapes? Or split the drawing up into logical elements and the user could redraw them as needed, which would then be reused where that element is used in other frames?

Thank you!! We are actually currently working on the storyboarding feature!!

This is neat but I wasn’t able to get it to work (server overloaded is what the browser app said) I’d also recommend registering a custom domain in Supabase so the Google SSO shows the golpo domain - which is a small, but professional-signaling affordance

We will soon! Wanted to get the model working first! Could you try again

The generated graphic in the linked demo for "Training materials that captivate" is a sketch of someone looking forlorn while holding a piece of paper. Is there a way to do in-line edits to the generated result to polish out things like this?
skar01 · 4 months ago
We are working on that. There will ultimately be a storyboard feature where you can edit frame by frame!

If that demo video is how it actually works, this is a pretty amazing technical feat. I’m definitely going to try this out.

Edit: I've used. It's amazing. I'm going to be using this a lot.

Pretty cool, especially the voice and background music - feels just right.

I asked it about pointers in Rust. The transcript and images were great, very approachable!

"Do not let your computer sleep" -> is this using GPU on my machine or something?

skar01 · 4 months ago
No! We just had that because we had not built the library feature yet, and just forgot to remove it. Now you can access through there!!
