Unfold

Make an idea clear through motion.

Turn a technical explanation into an animation. Describe the relationships that matter, watch the result, and refine the exact moment that needs to be clearer.

Describe it to your agent. Make it with Unfold. Review and refine together. Watch full size

How it works

Explain it. Watch it. Make it clearer.

Use geometry, images, text, and movement to make a system or idea easier to understand.

  1. Bring the explanation.

    Describe the audience, the idea, and the real relationships between components. Add visual guidance and supplied assets.

  2. Watch and compare.

    Review a revision on its own or compare two with synchronized playback. Earlier revisions remain available.

  3. Refine and reuse.

    Leave feedback on a moment or interval. Share visual guidance and eligible assets in identity packs, then deliver a video or transparent overlay.

Made for real work

Keep the idea and its history.

Review the moment.

Attach feedback to the point that needs work. Authorized refinement can run from the workspace without losing the revision you are viewing.

Carry a visual identity.

Retain guidance and reusable assets in identity packs. Share packs by ZIP so another project can begin with the same visual language.

Deliver for the next step.

Export H.264 MP4 or silent ProRes 4444 overlays with transparency. Import audio when the work needs it.

Also made for your team

Create an identity. Share it. Make it your own.

Build a visual identity for your team, then export it as an Unfold identity pack. Teammates can import its guidance and reusable assets, and remix them in their own motion ideas.

Export a team identity pack. Reuse its transparent overlays on real demo footage, then close with the matching team bumper. Watch full size

Get started

Bring it to
your agent.

Start with the outcome you want. Your agent can install the tool and use its help to carry out the work.

A starting prompt
Use Unfold to animate how a request moves from a caller through tools and back as an artifact. Read unfold --help, help me configure the renderer and model, and open the animation for review. Use motion and geometry with minimal text.

Help your agent can use.

Amplifier Smart Tools provide help in skill format: instructions your agent can read to understand capabilities, inputs, and how to use the tool. Ask your agent to read --help before getting started.

Terminal
uv tool install "amplifier-smart-tool-unfold[smart] @ git+https://github.com/robotdad/amplifier-smart-tool-unfold"
unfold --help

Python 3.12+, Git, uv, Node.js, and FFmpeg with FFprobe. Follow the tool guide to prepare the pinned renderer dependencies.

Creative work needs separately configured OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini access with a vision-capable model. Managing retained work and rendering existing compositions need no model.

Part of the same family

Keep making.

Each tool stands on its own. Explore the others when your work takes you there.
