Electerm Intro Video — 100% AI Generated
We just published a new intro video for electerm: Electerm Introduction Video.
What makes this one special is not just the content — it is how it was made: the whole video is AI generated, from script to voiceover to editing, using workbuddy AI with the deepseek v4.1flash model. No camera, no microphone, no timeline scrubbing by hand.
Original on Bilibili: electerm 介绍视频.
What is in the video
About 3 minutes total (199 seconds), in two parts:
- P1
electerm-intro-cn(~98s) — Chinese narration: what electerm is, which protocols it covers, and which platforms it runs on. - P2
electerm-intro-en(~101s) — English version of the same tour.
The script covers the essentials:
- Electerm is a free and open-source terminal / SSH / SFTP / FTP / Telnet / Serial / RDP / VNC / Spice client.
- One app for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, HarmonyOS and iOS.
- Plus long-tail support people often miss: Ubuntu 18, Windows 7, macOS 10+, domestic Linux distros like UOS / Kylin, LoongArch (old-world and new-world), RISC-V (
riscv64) and PowerPC 64-bit little-endian (ppc64le) Linux.

How it was made — all AI
The Bilibili description says it plainly:
完全 AI 生成的 electerm 介绍视频，使用 workbuddy AI (deepseek v4.1flash) 生成。
In practice that means:
- Gave workbuddy AI the product facts (features, protocols, platform list).
- It drafted the CN + EN scripts, generated the voiceovers, assembled the visuals, and rendered subtitles.
- Human work was review duty: fact-check the platform list, fix pronunciation of terms like
LoongArch/riscv64/ppc64le, and upload.
Total hands-on editing time: close to zero. Compare that with the classic screen-recorded tutorials like Electerm Usage Demo — great for showing clicks, but every retake costs a recording session.
Why an AI intro
- Two languages for free. Recording CN + EN with a human voice doubles the work; with AI it is just a second render.
- Docs change, video can keep up. When the platform list grows, regenerate the narration instead of re-recording.
- Short and rewatchable. At ~100 seconds per language, it fits the "send this to a friend who asks what electerm is" slot that a 10-minute demo cannot fill.
It does not replace the hands-on guides — if you want clicks and settings, the video guides (40+ short demos, one per feature) are still the place to go. Think of this one as the trailer, the others as the manual.
