We built the fastest explainer video generator in the world.
Introducing Simi: turn any prompt, doc, or idea into a complete whiteboard explainer video in seconds.

It supports 80+ languages, so the same idea can be taught to audiences anywhere.

AI video has gotten insanely good at cinematic clips. But almost nothing can actually teach. Most tools are built for shots, scenes, avatars, and ads. Simi is built for explanation.
Give it something like: “Explain backpropagation” “Teach photosynthesis” “Walk through our onboarding flow” “Turn this product doc into a video”

Simi writes the script, and create the final video.

Our fastest tier can generate videos in under 20 seconds. And you can one-shot long explainers over 15 minutes.

We’re starting with whiteboard explainers because they are the clearest way to teach complex ideas step by step. But the bigger goal is simple: Any knowledge should be instantly turnable into video.

@Abishkardhenga @devsh_ @sudiprokaya Thank you so much man

[Lamina Labs (YC P26) @laminalabs]

It's insane that people used to have to struggle or be rich just to access instant explainer videos that make learning efficient. So, we built Simi to solve this.

@ZenithAiLab that's what I am saying

[Lamina Labs (YC P26) @laminalabs]

This is the most helpful thing for any one who wants an explainer video. You can basically one shot the whole video in seconds.

Today, we're introducing ChatGPT for Explainer Videos.

With just one prompt, Simi lets you generate whiteboard-style explainer videos that actually teach you something in seconds.

On our fastest tier, your video is ready to watch in under 20 seconds.

[Lamina Labs (YC P26) @laminalabs]

@AliceInfoAi try it Alice. It's crazyy

[Lamina Labs (YC P26) @laminalabs]

@navi_Ai2 so truu Navee

@sudiprokaya The ultimate learning shortcut. It’s basically an AI-native YouTube where you prompt the exact video you need and get it in seconds. Brilliant!!!

[Lamina Labs (YC P26) @laminalabs]

And here's a Hermes agent generating Simi videos straight from Slack.
Ask in chat. Get a video back. That simple

[Sudip (YC P26) @sudiprokaya]

Simi generates whiteboard-style explainer videos from a single prompt. Any topic. Any length. In seconds.

In this demo, I gave @NousResearch's Hermes Agent a Simi skill through Slack.

I asked it to explain mechanistic interpretability. It produced a full 2 minute and 6 second whiteboard explainer video in under 60 seconds under the hood.

No templates. No video editor. No design tools. One API call through lamina-sdk.

But this isn't just an agent trick. Simi is video generation infrastructure. EdTech companies use it to generate thousands of explainer videos a day, turning any lesson, any concept, any curriculum into a visual walkthrough that students actually watch.

And yes, it works inside any agent framework too. Hermes, OpenClaw, Claude Code, Cursor, Slack bots, wherever. If it can make an API call, it can make videos.

We're @laminalabs, @ycombinator P26. The era of explaining things through walls of text is ending.

The best part?
You can plug Simi into anything. Here's me testing it inside Codex early on →

[Sudip (YC P26) @sudiprokaya]

I GAVE CODEX THE ABILITY TO DRAW.
Not diagrams.
Not flowcharts.
Full whiteboard animated explainer videos. In seconds.

One SDK call. That’s it.

Kubernetes networking? Drawn in 10 seconds.
Your spaghetti auth flow? Animated and clear.
What your team shipped this week? Visual standup, done.

AI agents could talk. Now they can show.
“to draw” is becoming a primitive.
We’re building this at @laminalabs.

[Lamina Labs (YC P26) @laminalabs]

Everyone's talking about AI video.
But is there any that actually teaches you something?

Simi does. Built for:
> course lessons generated in minutes
> customer training for enterprise teams
> breaking down complex topics for students
> explainer videos for startups
