How I Used Doubao and Cursor to Create Three AI‑Powered Knowledge Videos

After finding some free time, the author decided to explore practical AI applications by creating short knowledge videos, using Doubao and Cursor to fill skill gaps and accelerate production.

The key premise is that the AI can only work when the user provides a complete, detailed description of the desired outcome; although this requires effort, the semi‑AI approach still yields a significant efficiency gain and will be refined as new ideas emerge.

The workflow consists of three steps:

Define the core concept, supply the raw content and direction.

Hand the content over to the AI for formatting and script generation.

Manually polish and calibrate the final output.

This process reduces mental load and speeds up production, allowing the author to run the pipeline repeatedly and iterate later with new inspirations.

Compared with the traditional method where instructors prepare PPTs and scripts manually, AI now can generate these materials automatically, streamlining the creation of teaching videos.

The practical implementation is illustrated in the following diagram:

Human effort is mainly limited to video editing with Jianying, adding voice‑overs and simple animation effects.

The resulting videos demonstrate the effectiveness of the AI‑assisted workflow, delivering satisfactory visual results while freeing the creator from intensive manual preparation.
