explainer
by Pika-Labs8 days ago31~60-80s explainer video for any URL — GitHub repo, product page, docs site, blog post, or launch. CANONICAL workflow for URL walkthroughs. Use when the user asks to "explain this URL / repo / website / product", "make a walkthrough video for [url]", "demo this site", "Loom-style explainer of [url]", "explainer for github.com/...", or "explain this product link". Drives a real browser through the URL, generates an avatar lipsync, and composites in a 1280×800 macOS Sonoma frame with a 246-pixel bottom-left avatar circle. GitHub URLs activate a repo-aware mode (README scan + live-demo detection); other URLs use a generic page-walkthrough flow.

Generate beautiful, self-contained HTML pages that visually explain systems, code changes, plans, and data.
