## Overview

Inspired by 3Blue1Brown, our team built a workflow that turns a math or physics question into an explanatory animation.

## Role and constraints

I worked on prompt design and connecting Gemini to the backend to generate and execute Manim code. Eric Chen focused on the frontend, and Jacob Lacsamana on backend infrastructure and output accuracy.

## Process

Gemini refines a query, develops an explanation, and writes Manim code. Flask renders the generated video, Next.js displays it, and MongoDB stores conversations. We iterated on prompts, rendering dependencies, and video transfer between backend and frontend.
