The AI turned my old blog post into a narrated animated video

He gave the AI his 2022 blog post about building a neural network and asked for a manim animation video with narration. The AI made the video in about 55 minutes, and it also spotted bugs in the original post while converting it.

How it works

  1. Gave the AI the blog post link and a written prompt, the AI rewrote the post as a transcript and built the manim animation, the AI pulled a small text to speech model that runs on his 2021 M1 Mac, About 20 minutes of local rendering on his Mac finished the video

One prompt turned a written post into a finished narrated video, and the agent flagged mistakes in the post along the way.
