[Lamina Labs (YC P26) @laminalabs]

@sudiprokaya custom voice is a cool feature.

Please help if you can. Nepal needs your support right now. 🇳🇵

[Sudip @sudiprokaya]

Nepal needs urgent help. 🇳🇵

It's been 5 days. Members of my own family are still missing. Thousands of families have been displaced, lost loved ones, and are still waiting for news.

@laminalabs is donating $5,000 to flood relief.

If you can help, please donate through Nepal’s official relief fund: https://t.co/5FFZ0mnaqd

@sudiprokaya Setup is one line, add the Simi MCP in Claude's connector settings, then it's there in every chat.

[Lamina Labs (YC P26) @laminalabs]

What this actually looks like:
Open Claude → "make me a 5-minute explainer on how RAG works" → narrated video back in the chat.

This will be useful for many.

[Sudip @sudiprokaya]

Claude, except the answer is a video.

You can now create videos with Simi inside Claude. Ask for an explainer video and get a narrated video back in under 60 seconds from any prompt, doc, or script.

Most AI video tools optimize for clips that look good. Nobody learns from a clip. Simi makes explainer videos that actually explain.

At Lamina Labs, we’re building the fastest infrastructure for generating explainer videos.

1–30 min. 80+ languages.

[Lamina Labs (YC P26) @laminalabs]

@sudiprokaya This is exactly the kind of long-form idea we built Simi to make easier to consume.

[Lamina Labs (YC P26) @laminalabs]

This is insaneeeee!!

Simi turned a 2200 word article into a five-minute explainer video in one shot. It is the fastest way to generate explainer videos!!!

[Sudip @sudiprokaya]

Our product, Simi, the fastest way to make explainer videos, one-shotted this entire article into a five-minute explainer, so you can watch it and understand the core argument without reading the whole piece.

My main takeaway: enterprise AI won’t be about using the smartest model for every task. It’ll be about using just enough intelligence to get the right outcome, then making that outcome cheaper and more repeatable over time. Couldn't agree more Jaya!!

RT @sudiprokaya: I was born in Simikot, a remote Himalayan town in Nepal.
As a child, I moved across the country, leaving my family behind…

[Lamina Labs (YC P26) @laminalabs]

@sudiprokaya From a full technical announcement to a clear visual explanation in one shot. This is how we believe people will consume complex information.

[Lamina Labs (YC P26) @laminalabs]

This is exactly why we’re building Simi.

Important technical breakthroughs should not remain buried inside long announcements. They should become instantly understandable.

Sudip gave NVIDIA’s Alpamayo 2 Super announcement to Simi, and Simi generated this whiteboard explainer in one shot.

[Sudip @sudiprokaya]

We turned NVIDIA’s Alpamayo 2 Super announcement into a whiteboard explainer video.

The original post is packed with details on open licensing, AV reasoning, and cloud-to-car deployment, so we gave it to Simi.

Simi generated this entire explainer in one shot. Simi, by lamina labs, is the fastest way to create explainer videos. Try it at https://t.co/ffGr19gPUs

[Lamina Labs (YC P26) @laminalabs]

@sudiprokaya Dense technical blogs, 3-minute visual walkthroughs in under a minute.This is why we built Simi, to make complex technical ideas instantly understandable.
