"FlightStory's AI experimentation started in a big way last year, when Bartlett challenged his staff to a two-month competition to use AI agents in their work. The competition was a scrappy "test for us to very much dive into that space and just see what worked, and see what we could do in a short space of time," said Isaac Martin, director of innovation at FlightStory."
"In its most ambitious creative application, FlightStory is producing a fully AI-animated video series for kids aged five to eight called "Steven's World." The show revolves around a young Bartlett going on adventures with his friends and uses information from podcast guests like Neil deGrasse Tyson. FlightStory said it's in talks with major streamers for distribution."
"The pre-production team won Bartlett's contest - and a $20,000 prize - for building tools or agents that replaced or improved nearly every part of their processes. Bartlett said the contest resulted in savings of $1.18 million for the company."
FlightStory, Steven Bartlett's media company, has extensively integrated AI throughout its operations following a successful internal competition that generated $1.18 million in savings. The company produces AI-animated children's content, creates AI-hosted podcasts, and automates sales processes. Key applications include an AI-animated video series called "Steven's World" for young audiences, AI voice cloning of Bartlett for podcast hosting, and multilingual content translation. The company strategically uses AI to enhance productivity while selectively dialing back AI usage on platforms like LinkedIn. With approximately 100 employees and recent eight-figure funding, FlightStory demonstrates how media companies can leverage AI agents to streamline creative and operational workflows.
