Code-as-video with Editframe --- video production as a dev workflow

Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The first experiment closed with a question : can an agent take structured product information and turn it into a short, repeatable video composition? This second experiment is the answer. The interesting part is not the seconds. It is what this workflow does to the way Learning Program Owners, Learning Designers, and Learning Developers traditionally split the work.

Hello world with Editframe --- video production as a dev workflow

Tue, 05 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Can video production start to look more like a dev workflow, where the composition is code, the output is reproducible, and the agent can help move through the rough edges? Experiment 01 – a hello-world Editframe project, scaffolded, iterated, and rendered locally, with the failure points captured for the next pass.

From blocked to built : decomposing a stuck project with human + AI collaboration

The guiding question I was working with : can a single practitioner move a stuck, multi-stakeholder project to a validated proposal using AI-assisted work decomposition — and if so, what does that actually look like?

Claude Skills and the Copilot Parallel : A Practitioner's Map

Building the same workflow in Claude takes an hour; in Copilot it means Power Automate and three to five hours. That gap is real — and it’s architectural. Here is how Claude’s skill system maps to M365 Copilot, and what the comparison reveals about where each system was designed to be used.
