How it works
The workflow starts with structure: ngram turns source material into an explainer plan before it generates animated scenes.
Give ngram the explainer brief, product page, PDF, screenshot, script, or source note. The agent reads the source for message, audience, claims, and visual cues.
Source ready
ngram drafts the script, scene order, visual metaphor, timing, callout notes, and CTA before the first render, so the animation follows a clear explanation.
Storyboard ready
The draft can combine AI visuals, generated video clips, animated overlays, product callouts, smart zooms, transitions, voiceover, captions, music, and brand treatment.
Scenes generated
Use chat, visual chat, the script editor, scene regeneration, canvas controls, or the timeline to revise the explainer. Prepare and review each framing separately before downloading its MP4.

What it can do
Create animated explainers that show the idea on screen with planned scenes, motion graphics, narration, captions, and brand rules in one editable project.
Turn a brief, URL, PDF, screenshot, or script into a reviewable scene plan with narration, visual beats, timing, and CTA.

Use live ngram integrations to pass approved source material into the explainer workflow and route the project link back for review.
WhenAn intake form, campaign brief, or launch request is approved in an upstream app
ThenSend the prompt, audience, source links, and brand context into ngram so the explainer draft can be generated
WhenA release note, enablement doc, lesson, or support article moves into an approved state
ThenPush the source into ngram, create the animated explainer draft, and attach the project link to the original record
WhenAn AI agent has a brief, source URL, or file context and needs an editable explainer video
ThenCall ngram through MCP with the prompt and source context, then return project or render status to the agent
WhenA product page, release note, docs page, or help article is the source for an animated explainer
ThenSend page context from the browser into ngram so the storyboard starts from the real source copy
Use these routes when animated explainer creation needs to start from intake forms, workflow steps, agents, or browser-captured source pages.
Why ngram
Some tools start with templates. Others make short generated clips. ngram is built for source-led animated explainers that stay editable after the first draft.
| Compare | ngram | Template editor | Manual motion design workflow | Single-purpose AI generator |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Workflow fit | Starts from prompts, URLs, PDFs, screenshots, images, approved source notes, and product context. | Starts from a preset scene layout or template timeline rather than source material and a generated storyboard. | Gives high control for custom animation, but the brief, script, storyboard, design, animation, and review loop take separate handoffs. | Can make a short generated clip from a prompt, but may not preserve a full explainer structure across scenes. |
| How ngram fits | Plans the script, storyboard, visual metaphor, callouts, timing, voiceover, captions, and brand direction before render. | Works when the explainer already fits the template, but concept mapping and callout planning usually stay manual. | Best for highly bespoke brand films or complex character animation where a motion designer owns every frame. | Useful for B-roll or a single visual beat, not always for storyboard review, product callouts, captions, and brand rules. |
| Best use | Keeps scenes editable with chat, visual chat, script editing, scene regeneration, canvas controls, timeline edits, localization, and MP4 export. | Often separates writing, design, voiceover, captions, and export cleanup into several passes. | Harder to refresh quickly when product copy, screenshots, CTA, or audience framing changes. | Usually needs another editor when the team wants script changes, localized cuts, or format variants. |
