Hey HN,<p>Floodcraft gives you a short AI-generated video slide show on any topic in about 30 seconds. It mimics the style and format of an Instagram Reel/ YouTube Shorts.<p>Here's a launch video for Floodcraft that I generated using Floodcraft! - <a href="https://www.floodcraft.com/videos/Y_rOqAMpy22t7bXx3AyiJ" rel="nofollow">https://www.floodcraft.com/videos/Y_rOqAMpy22t7bXx3AyiJ</a><p>The home page has a few more sample videos [1].<p>Since the images are generated, it works best for non-realtime topics like history, literature, arts etc; basically anything that wouldn't need to reference specific or latest images. Will incorporate real images soon.<p>I'm a visual learner and have spent hours watching YouTube Shorts (especially from the Epic History channel) so built Floodcraft to get similar videos in realtime for any topic that I wanted.<p>I've always been interested in knowledge ingestion and improving the way people learn. Previously, I built Smort.io [2] to let people easily edit, annotate, and share articles & ArXiv papers. Just prepend smort.io/ before any article url read in Smort. The Show HN post [3], got on the front page of HN and more than 50,000 people from 132 countries have used Smort so far.<p>[1] <a href="https://floodcraft.com" rel="nofollow">https://floodcraft.com</a>

It's an awesome tool to generate videos on any topic and the summarization and video gives back a lot of context on the topic. Great for learning about any topic in the world.
