About this formation

What "AI Content Creation" meant a year ago was tools that help a person make something faster; what it increasingly means now is platforms that make and distribute the content themselves, with the human reduced to a prompt or a spectator. Pops and CodeWisp hand game creation to plain-English prompts and an infinite remix feed rather than an editor, while Instaplay builds a social platform natively around AI-made games rather than bolting AI onto an existing feed. YouArt and Flick push further into the end-to-end direction, with Flick promising "Hollywood-level" short films generated entirely by AI and YouArt turning finished AI originals into something fans fund directly, more creator-economy infrastructure than editing tool. Against that drift toward full automation sits a counter-current of professionalization: Martini and Structured AI both insert AI into expert workflows rather than replacing them, one integrating generative models into professional filmmaking pipelines, the other doing QA/QC on architectural drawings where correctness, not creativity, is the product. Mosaic is the odd one out structurally, building shared memory for coding agents rather than creative content at all, suggesting the formation's edges are stretching toward "AI collaboration infrastructure" generally. The timing tracks the arrival of genuinely capable long-form video and agentic coding models through 2024 and 2025, which is also why the closest academic analog, human-AI co-creation research, is itself surging rather than steady. The real tension in the group is between tools racing to cut humans out of creation entirely and tools racing to embed AI more deeply into the judgment-heavy work of professionals who still sign their name to the result.

Newest batch first.

• Summer 2026
  Instaplay

  AI-Native Social Platform, Starting with Games.

• Summer 2026
  Mosaic

  Defining the frontier of multiplayer AI.. Mosaic gives teams and their coding agents shared memory across every session, so everyone can understand what happened, why decisions were made, and pick up where someone else left off. We started as a real-time coding environment where multiple people and their agents can work together live. It went viral, defined the multiplayer AI category, and inspired frontier labs like Anthropic. Together, we’re building the infrastructure for people and agents to share context and work together.

• Spring 2026
  YouArt

  Patreon for AI Originals. YouArt helps storytellers create AI originals using our industry-leading video agent, launch their original concepts, get funded directly by early fans, and earn from their audience.

• Spring 2026
  Pops

  Create & play AI games with friends. Pops lets people play, remix, and share AI games with friends. Discover an infinite feed of games, challenges, quizzes, and other fun interactive experiences made by others. Every play instantly becomes a funny gameplay/reaction video you can send to friends, post online, or use to challenge someone to beat your score. For creators, Pops makes it easier than ever to bring ideas to life and get them played. Instead of learning complex game engines, writing code, or fighting for distribution, anyone can create or remix a playable game in seconds. Bring your ideas, and Pops brings the audience.

• Winter 2026
  CodeWisp

  Anyone can create real games with AI. CodeWisp lets anyone build and publish web games using plain-English prompts. Traditional game development requires learning complex engines, managing assets and code, and following rigid workflows, making it slow and inaccessible for most people. With CodeWisp, users describe the game they want. CodeWisp generates the game’s code, structure, and assets, and users can refine it with follow-up prompts. This makes it possible to go from idea to a playable web game in minutes, without prior game-development experience.

• Winter 2026
  Martini

  AI Video Production for Professionals. Martini is a collaborative, AI-native platform for professional filmmaking in the era of generative media. By integrating the best generative models into professional workflows, we enable world-class creatives to harness generative AI as a legitimate medium for film.

• Fall 2025
  Flick

  We Handle AI. You Direct Films.. Flick is an AI filmmaking software that lets people create Hollywood-level short films completely using AI end-to-end. There are many AI tools that can give you 8-second casual clips to post on social media, but when it comes to creating truly high-quality films with coherent storylines, consistent characters, and cinematic aesthetics, they don’t come close due to their lack of flexibility, creative control, and fragmented creative flow. Founded by an award-winning filmmaker and a founding engineer at Instagram, Flick defines an interface specifically designed for native AI filmmaking that feels natural and enables end-to-end creative flows. Think of Flick as Figma for AI filmmaking. There are 4 complete AI short films created using Flick that got 20+ awards in international film festivals already and our early creator residency community are generating s

  Structured AI

  The AI drawing review platform for architects and engineers.. Structured AI is the most advanced AI-powered QA/QC platform for drawing packages, working across both PDF drawings and native Revit models. Architects and engineers use our platform to make every drawing set leave the office with certainty. Our AI agents learn your firm's standards, apply the relevant codes, and read every page of a set, then return a clear list of what's wrong, where it sits, and how to fix it. Run compliance reviews across thousands of pages in minutes, chat with your drawings for sourced answers, build custom checks in plain English, compare versions, overlay disciplines, and close out comments - all within a single platform, with a full audit trail on every finding. For decades, the last line of defense on a drawing set has been a red pen at the end of a deadline week. But buildings have outgrown the red
