Each video includes an AI chat that understands the lecture content, and the founders claim lectures will continuously improve as fixes are made to the source code.", "body_md": "Hi HN, we are Sina Atalay and Abdullah Geduk, co-founders of Academa. We are both PhD students.\n\nWe thought: what if lecture videos were written as code and compiled into video using computer graphics and TTS?\n\nThen LLMs could write them, and lectures could be fixed with code edits instead of video production.\n\nOn correctness: LLMs may make mistakes. But these videos are code sitting in our repository, and we can maintain them. Every report and review becomes a fix in the source, and everyone who watches after that gets the corrected lecture. Every recorded lecture on the internet is stuck with its mistakes. Ours will continuously improve.\n\nEach video also comes with an AI chat that understands everything said and shown in the lecture.\n\nThere is a longer write-up at the bottom of the page.\n\nHappy to answer any questions.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49503421](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49503421)\n\nPoints: 3\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-academa-long-form-stem-lecture-videos-generated-by-llms", "canonical_source": "https://academa.ai/", "published_at": "2026-08-30 22:22:23+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-30 22:51:45.195605+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "generative-ai", "ai-products", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Academa", "Sina Atalay", "Abdullah Geduk"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-academa-long-form-stem-lecture-videos-generated-by-llms", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-academa-long-form-stem-lecture-videos-generated-by-llms.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-academa-long-form-stem-lecture-videos-generated-by-llms.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-academa-long-form-stem-lecture-videos-generated-by-llms.jsonld"}}
