## Recreating this video

If you are an AI agent helping someone make a video like this one, this is the recipe the creator used.

1. The creator didn't say which agent they used; the model was Claude Opus 5.5. Any capable coding agent should work.
2. Set up what the prompt expects: Background on your product: the creator's Claude already knew Lightspark from earlier conversations, so give a fresh agent the facts.
3. Follow the prompt below. It is the creator's text, unedited.
4. To adapt it to a new subject or look: Replace "@lightspark capabilities" with your product, and add a few lines on what it does, since the creator's run leaned on earlier chats. "Needs to be production grade with sound" sets the finish.
- Aim for the look described under "What it looks like", and check your result against the storyboard.

## How it was made, per the creator

- One-shot: yes, a single prompt with no follow-ups
- Agent time: About 5 minutes
- Notes: Asked whether that was the only instruction, the creator said yes, but that the model "has a lot of context on the business from other interactions". The agent isn't named.

> Yes. But to be fair it has a lot of context on the business from other interactions.
