I built an AI-agent video pipeline that turns technical books into podcast/video episodes. Looking for feedback.

I’ve been building an AI video generation pipeline using AI agents, and I wanted to share a project I just finished.

I used it to turn Designing Data-Intensive Applications into a chapter-by-chapter podcast/video series.

The pipeline currently handles things like:

  • breaking source material into chapter-level inputs
  • generating scripts/storyboards
  • creating long videos, shorts, and podcast-style episodes
  • rendering audio/video assets
  • packaging everything for upload

I’m still improving it, and I’d really love feedback from people who know content creation, agent workflows, automation, or media pipelines.

A few things I’d especially love feedback on:

  • what looks or sounds weak right now
  • what parts of the pipeline feel overengineered
  • what you’d fix first if you were building this
  • how you’d make the audio/pacing more engaging
  • whether there are better ways to structure the agent workflow

Also curious:
Would you want podcasts/videos like this for other technical books too?

I made this one for Designing Data-Intensive Applications, but I’m considering doing more if people find it useful.

If anyone has ideas on how to make this better, I’m all ears.

Also doing this for leetcode.
