What it does

Generates whiteboard-style explainer videos from any prompt or document in seconds, for training, onboarding, and more.

Detailed overview

Instructional and training videos (onboarding, course content, product explainers) normally take days or require expensive production. Simi, by Lamina Labs, automates that: from text it writes the script, generates whiteboard drawings, animates them step-by-step, and adds narration, a clear explainer in seconds. It's tailored for explanatory content rather than cinematic effects. Mainstream tools (Synthesia, Runway) focus on avatars or film-style clips, whereas Simi emphasizes structured teaching. As the founders put it: "most tools are built for shots and ads, Simi is built for explanation." It just launched (June 2026) and targets a niche larger platforms overlook, so few people know it yet, a small YC Spring 2026 startup (co-founders from MIT) with a live site and working demo. Built for educators, trainers, L&D teams, course creators, and product/marketing teams needing quick explainer or how-to videos.
