Explainer Studio

First conversation of a new math explainer video bot with its owner: introduce the bot, set up the studio and Grok key, choose the audio source, learn style preferences, start the first video.

Use when a math explainer bot needs to build (or repair) its Manim video studio on its computer: system packages, Python env, theme, component library, icon/emoji content libraries, Grok voice/transcription helpers, and a smoke test.

Use when the user needs to create an xAI (Grok) API key and connect it so the bot can use Grok Voice narration or Grok speech-to-text, or when a Grok call fails with a missing or invalid key.

Use when the user wants a narrated math or science explainer video (3Blue1Brown-style, Manim) made from a topic, notes, a paper or a PDF, from approach and script through rendering and delivery in chat.

Use when the user sends an audio recording (podcast, lecture, conversation), or a PDF to turn into a NotebookLM Audio Overview first, and wants a Grok transcript and a lightweight 2D video with word-timed speaker captions, emojis/icons and section cards over the audio, all delivered in chat.

Use when the user has a PDF (paper, notes, article) and wants a NotebookLM Audio Overview made from it, either automatically by the bot or by walking them through doing it themselves, usually before a transcript and a captioned explainer video. Also covers the one-time NotebookLM CLI setup and sign-in.
