I went for a bit of a different style with this one, attempting to play on the "Educator" vibe a bit. Also trying to explain how Embeddings and Vector Search on Convex work.
Let me know if you think I did a good job or not here, or if I should just return to the more "normal" style 😛

Hey Mike, thanks for this! Seems like you had a ton of fun. I did too, engaging all the way through!
Some things for consideration for the next one that may help make even better:
- Consider adding captions, surprisingly a s#!t ton of videos watched with no sound, even types like this one, I tried but couldn't see em on there
- IMO, your mug should always be visible, even if collapsed to lower corner or something when full screen overlays/graphics (check out Tella.tv for some examples), no idea how the editing works but seems like quite the elaborate piece you got here
- I think you're on to something with the approach, may consider something similar along the lines of naysayers like me who always have a gripe vs. the classroom, although gotta say the characters were fun
- In this segment, although you addressed it, I got confused a bit around the 3:07 mark as an AI luddite when I saw cats returned, maybe in the future you could add a fun "wait for it" or something in the overlay just to keep me more hooked
I think you rocked it, I had fun, short sweet, edutaining. That's the future!
Hey @sam really appreciate the feedback! Im constantly trying to improve my craft and this one was a bit of an experiment.
Consider adding captions, surprisingly a s#!t ton of videos watched with no sound, even types like this one, I tried but couldn't see em on thereYou mean other than the ones supplied by Youtube? I would but I have had others say that they are distracting. Long-form videos generally dont have embedded ones but I do use captions for all my short-form ones.

I think it depends on the tone of the video. But noted thanks for the input 🙂

I think TBH tho that its not going to do well until we have a larger audience. I think right now the most views im going to get are going to come from jumping on some search term.

Thanks for getting back to me.
- My bad! For some reason, my YT captions weren't working so there were none. Was probably a me thing for sure.
- I'm pretty sure if you continue to focus on good content, like you are, the views will come.
Edutainment angle is the way. Keep on rocking it!
My bad! For some reason, my YT captions weren't working so there were none. Was probably a me thing for sure.Maybe it just takes a day or two for them to show up? Thanks mate really appreciate the support, its a continually evolving things for me. Being on camera is not something that comes particularly naturally to me so building confidence that people are watching and enjoying it is a big help 🙂
You're crushing it! Looking forward to the next one.
