53 - 3blue1brown Animation videos agentic DB with Clickhouse

Manim Application

Inspiration I love YT channels like 3blue1brown. Grant Sanderson doesn't just present facts; he takes you on a journey often animated with his Python library, Manim. I realized that a major barrier to creating such content is the technical bottleneck of data and ffmpeg. To find the "story" in a billion-row dataset, you need to ask hundreds of questions, and if each question takes 1 minute to answer, the video story will never be made. I I wanted to build a tool for a math tutor like me that allows any tutor to explore data at the speed of thought, making this style of content creation like 3blue1brown easy to make for their own needs.

What it does Prompts to video generation - but mathematical and animated and fun. It takes a massive public dataset from HuggingFace, ingests it into a ClickHouse database, and connects it to a Python environment with Manim.

Programmatically feed these results (like frequencies, distributions, or time-series data) directly into Manim scene objects.

How we built it Python, Flask, Clickhouse MCP, Huggingface, Claude MCP

Challenges we ran into Code interpreter is not working and there are not many free code interpreters that work locally. Will have to create one from scratch.

Future Publishing a website where creators can sign up for subscriptions to create manim videos.
