Explain anything accurately, from document to video course
X-Pilot turns docs into video courses for people who explain anything and can't risk hallucinations. Every visual is rendered programmatically via Remotion in isolated sandboxes — deterministic, not generative. Formulas, diagrams, and code stay accurate.
After leaving Baidu Apollo, I built 3 edtech companies (1M+ users total) and kept seeing the same issue: the people with the deepest knowledge are often the least equipped to turn it into video. Hand a professor a video editor and everything slows down. I started calling it the “Expert Paradox.”
X-Pilot is our attempt to solve it: upload a document, and X-Pilot generates an accurate, multi-module video course—complete with a syllabus, learning objectives, and animated visuals (diagrams, rendered formulas, code walkthroughs) you can publish.
A key difference vs. HeyGen/Synthesia: those are talking-head/avatar script readers. X-Pilot focuses on knowledge visualization. Every visual is rendered programmatically via Remotion in isolated sandboxes—deterministic code, not generative visuals—so if your doc says 2+2=4, the video shows 2+2=4.
Free to start (no credit card).
I’d love feedback from anyone who’s tried to turn a document into a course: what broke for you—structuring, visuals, editing time, accuracy, or distribution?
