Whiteboard videos for history

Strip away the dates and history is just a really good story. That's how GenPixy AI tells it in whiteboard videos for history. Who was there, when it happened and why anyone still cares, with people and places sketched in while the narrator talks. Each video can run up to 10 minutes, and you've got more than 70 languages to choose from.

Two real history videos

The printing press: the machine that changed the world
The history of Borobudur temple, narrated in Indonesian

History formats that hold attention

Turning points

Why did the Roman Empire fall? What kicked off the First World War?

Inventions

Take the printing press or the telegraph, or the vaccine, and show what each one changed.

Lives in five minutes

Someone's whole story, from childhood to what they left behind.

Local history

That old temple near you. A city, a festival, a dish your grandma makes that goes back centuries.

On this day

One date, one short video, every day. Made for Shorts, really.

Lesson recaps

Causes and effects of a single event, for students cramming a revision list.

Give the video an outline

Sure, a topic on its own works. But an outline is better, because then you're the one deciding what the story covers and in which order. Here's the exact prompt we used for the printing press video up there:

Make a short history video about the printing press.

- Who was Johannes Gutenberg and what problem did he want to solve?
- How movable type worked, step by step
- How fast books spread across Europe after 1450
- What changed for science, religion, and ordinary people
- End with how the printing press connects to the internet today

Each bullet turns into a piece of the narration, in the order you wrote it. Already done your own research and written the whole script? Paste that in instead. If it fits the length, it's read word for word.

Names, dates, and numbers

Here's the thing. AI can get a date wrong, or a name, or a number, and history fans spot that in about two seconds. So watch it before it goes out. On contested topics, put the facts you've checked straight into the outline or script, and the video will tell your version of the record.
