    Sorry about that paywall. We've made the AI chat free up to a certain usage limit, so if you're interested, you can give it a try now!

    We are fully compatible with Manim CE. Our goal is 1:1 API compatibility, so people can continue using the API they already know. We never intended to use 3Blue1Brown's name in a n…

    Thank you! We simply mount the entire app inside the landing page, but rotate and scale it down. When the page opens, it smoothly animates into full screen using CSS transitions.

    Grant Sanderson (3Blue1Brown) created Manim, the Python library he uses to make the math animations in his videos. We reimplemented Manim with the same Python API, but the implemen…

    Let me elaborate. Our content is text, not MP4 files. So we review it with humans and AI, just like how software companies review their software. We may make mistakes, but that's o…

    Everything I do is driven by a single goal: to make my startup successful so I can innovate in edtech. Nothing else. You may not believe me, and you may think I have ulterior motiv…

    First, I need to make my startup successful so I can continue innovating over the next 15 years. Open-sourcing our work could be a distraction at this stage. Maintaining an open-so…

    I couldn't agree more. But if you look at it from this perspective, you may understand why we use static videos for this demo. Definition: the AI tutor is some AI that can generate…

    We are. We're confident in the quality of the teaching and the accuracy of the content in these videos. Our videos are not some MP4 files sitting on a disk. We see our content like…
