What Are Math Videos?

Tesseract can generate short animated math videos — Manim-style animations with optional voiceover — right inside a conversation. When an animation explains a concept better than text or a static diagram, the AI calls its video tool and a video block appears in the response.

Videos render at 1080p with a built-in player and are saved so you can revisit, share, and build on them later.

Requesting a Math Video

Math videos are generated automatically by the AI — there’s no dedicated “make a video” button in the composer. Just ask for an animation, for example:

• “Create a Manim animation showing a visual proof of the Pythagorean theorem”
• “Make a math video explaining Euler’s formula e^(iπ) + 1 = 0”
• “Animate how derivatives work using a moving tangent line” You can also start one from the Videos page (below), which drops an example prompt into a fresh chat.

While the Video Generates

Rendering takes a while — typically a couple of minutes. During that time:

• A video skeleton appears in the response with a progress label (e.g. “Rendering video…”, “Adding voiceover…”).
• An opt-in banner — “Get notified when your math video is ready” — appears above the skeleton. Click Enable for a browser notification when it’s done, or Dismiss to hide it for the session.
• You can keep chatting or close the tab; the video keeps rendering on the server.

The Video Player

Once it’s ready, the video block shows a full player:

• Play / pause, timeline scrubber, and time display
• Mute and volume controls
• Playback speed — 0.5× up to 2×
• Loop toggle
• Picture-in-Picture and fullscreen
• A replay button at the end
• A share button (top-right) that copies the public video link

The Videos Page

Open Videos from the sidebar to see a gallery of every video you’ve generated:

• Videos are shown newest-first, 24 per page.
• Click any video to open its public detail page.
• The Generate Video button (top-right) drops an example prompt into a new chat.

Public Video Pages

Every video has a public, shareable detail page (a /v/… link) — anyone with the link can watch it, no account required. The page includes:

• The video player (same controls as in chat)
• Title and metadata — creation date, resolution, file size
• A Share button with quick links for WhatsApp, X/Twitter, and email
• A comments section
• A follow-up box at the bottom — type a question about the video and Tesseract starts a new conversation seeded with it (you’ll need to be signed in)
• A View Conversation link, if the parent conversation has been shared

Sharing the conversation alongside the video

In the video’s Share dialog (visible to the owner) there’s a “Share conversation with this video” toggle. Turning it on publishes a read-only link to the conversation the video came from; turning it off revokes that link. See the Sharing Conversations page for how conversation shares work.

Notes & Limits

• Videos render at 1920 × 1080 with voiceover enabled by default.
• Generation can take several minutes; very long or complex prompts may time out.
• If rendering fails, the block shows an error with the original prompt — just ask again or rephrase.
