A history teacher brings ancient worlds to life in a fraction of the time.
Giuseppe Fraccalvieri teaches history in Italy. With era-authentic AI presenters from Babylon, Palmyra and ancient Rome, he now turns a script into a finished lesson in about an hour.
Inside their videos
Frames recreated in vidBoard to show the kind of video described in this story.
Life in the Forum.
Where Romans traded, voted and argued.
From Babylon to Rome
La vita nel Foro.
A full working day for a 15-minute lesson
- Paying voice actors and editors for every video made a large history library unaffordable.
- Scripting, recording, revising and approving took 4 to 6 hours per script.
- Generic stock footage of ancient ruins broke the sense of place he wanted students to feel.
- A single date or fact error meant booking the voice artist again and repeating the edit.
History, presented by history
Giuseppe writes the script and vidBoard renders it into an avatar-hosted lesson. Custom presenters from Babylon, Palmyra and ancient Rome set the scene, multilingual AI voiceovers render each lesson in several languages at once, and corrections take minutes.
- STEP 01
Write the lesson
Each lesson starts as Giuseppe's own script.
- STEP 02
Choose an era-authentic presenter
A guide from Babylon, Palmyra or ancient Rome.
- STEP 03
Render it in several languages
The same lesson for students in other languages.
“Students remember stories. I wanted them to see those stories, not just read them.”
“I now create a week's worth of lessons in a single afternoon.”
