Text-to-Manim Animated VideoStrong8/10▾
Feature tested: Text-to-Manim Animated Video
Result: Passed (8/10)
Verdict: Strong
Expected behavior: Academa AI generates Manim-based animated educational videos from plain text descriptions with no coding required.
Test case: Text prompt → Video file
Input type: Text prompt
Input used: Input artifact (Text prompt): RAG Ingestion Pipeline: Create an animated flowchart titled "RAG Ingestion Pipeline". A Document is uploaded and its text is extracted. The extracted text is split into smaller chunks. Each chunk is converted into embeddings. The generated embeddings are stored in a Vector Database, and the metadata is stored in a Metadata Store.
Observed output: Output artifact (Video file): Academa AI — clean Manim-style animated flowchart video — c24ae6b8-f539-448e-8459-d6a9dfdbad26 (1).mp4

What changed: Text prompt transformed into Video file
Test case: Text prompt → Image
Input type: Text prompt
Input used: Input artifact (Text prompt): Conversational RAG Pipeline: Conversational RAG Create flowchart for a Conversational RAG Pipeline. User Message goes through Chat History, and then Query Rewriter to refine the query. The rewritten query is converted to Embeddings and used to run a Vector Search. If the Vector Search results are good, the retrieved Context combines with Chat History for LLM to generate answer. If Vector Search results are poor, the query loops back to Query Rewriter and tries again.
Observed output: Output artifact (Image): Conversational RAG Pipeline: Additional diagram type output — hhjh.png

Educational Animation Style and PacingStrong8/10▾
Feature tested: Educational Animation Style and Pacing
Result: Passed (8/10)
Verdict: Strong
Expected behavior: Academa AI is specifically designed for educational content — animations are clear, well-paced, and suitable for classroom or training use.
Test case: Text prompt → Video file
Input type: Text prompt
Input used: Input artifact (Text prompt): Basic Document Q&A: Create flowchart for basic RAG. The user query is converted into embeddings and vector similarity search is performed. Then Top-K chunks are retrieved. The prompt is constructed with user query and context. This is passed to LLM for response.
Observed output: Output artifact (Video file): Well-paced educational animation — nodes appearing clearly with readable labels — 476d858f-fc61-4dfd-9473-c67f8650269b.mp4
