One-stack author

One stack author: Create and update your explainer video, write-up, and marketing assets in one stack for your customer education/GTM

Inspiration

I’ve spent the last six years as a full-time instructional designer, building the materials that help people use a product and succeed in their roles. Internally, that means enablement programs for sales and customer-success teams—everything from “how to be client-centric” micro-lessons to full deal-closing playbooks. Externally, it’s the how-to videos, help-center articles, and blog tutorials we build in partnership with technical writers and product marketing. At large SaaS firms (≈150 + U.S. employees) these jobs are split: IDs handle explainer videos, webinar decks, and e-learning modules while tech writers own the step-by-step docs. Smaller companies rarely have that luxury. When the product changes, every asset—the video, the slide deck, the written guide—must change with it. Two chronic pain points follow:

Capacity: lean teams don’t have dedicated staff to produce and update rich learning content.
Fragmentation: assets live in different tools with no single source of truth, so a product update ripples through inconsistently and leaves users with a disjointed experience. Those gaps are exactly where scalable, AI-assisted content workflows can make the biggest difference.

What it does

(1) Generate a storyboard with a hook, body, and CTA structure based on a prompt (2) Given a recorded video, turn it into an SEO-friendly blog post (3) When the product updates, provide references to it in all different sources

How we built it

Front-end: vibe-coding in V0 Back-end: MCP from Claude

Challenges we ran into

Technical challenges: we were only able to get the flow in the frontend work and the MCP of the backend work, but not the frontend to work together with the backend.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're most proud of creating an MVP solution that is part of a larger goal.

What we learned

Throughout this hackathon, we learned that starting to prototype quickly is the key.

What's next for one stack authoring tool

Will create a landing page and deliver the first part of the one-stack authoring tool, which generates a storyboard generator from a prompt, production-ready, to iterate on the prompt that powers the storyboard generator from user data & gather the user email lists
