This looks a good idea to let people choose their preferred medium. I am not into video either, but I turned one of my latest blog article into a video using Claude, since I thought it would be “easy.” I asked it to build the video by screencasting a browser presenting the interactive diagrams of the article and add some titles. It build some kind of recording app for me. It still took me many hours, but I think I would be faster if I redid it. I would pay to have it done faster, but I want to keep control of the text, not have a summary.

You can use MCP to generate an Explainer video next time if you want. It's currently free, as the tokens for directing and scripting it is offloaded to your agent. And then we cover the TTS for the time being.
