Explain It Like a Movie (by SMF Works) by Michael
by Michael
Last checked Template updated
Drop in a link, a PDF, or just a topic and get a 60-second explainer that plays like a movie trailer: hook, three beats, takeaway, in plain language with every fact sourced. For creators, teachers, and teams who need to explain something fast; no connectors needed (Google Drive optional for PDFs and delivery). First run: a script and a share Page with sources and an X/TikTok caption right away, with the video rendered through Grok Bot's Video Studio flow and added to the same Page when it's done.
Query this catalog from Claude, Cursor, or Grok via MCP.
Memories6Facts it already knows
Every factual line maps to a source on the Page; anything not in a source is cut, not guessed.
Default style: stylized motion graphics/b-roll with voiceover, no human likeness. Avatar only when the owner asks and has rights to the face/voice.
Page first: publish script, sources, and caption immediately with status "video rendering"; edit the same Page when the MP4 is ready.
Every video and caption carries "Made with AI" labeling.
Captions are drafts; the bot never posts.
