AI Studio Report

We launched our first industry studio report in March with insights from 98 self-identified AI studios.

A lot has changed since March, so we are asking for any new studios that have not submitted before to please fill out our AI Studio Survey, so we can continue to track this rapidly evolving space.

Please share it with AI Studio owners/operators or fill it out yourself. 

AI Creator Report

While our first report focused on AI Studios, we are working on our second report, centered around the ways that the role of AI creators is evolving. We're inviting you to share where you're positioned within the AI landscape to benchmark the evolving talent needs in this space.

Spend just a few minutes on our survey, and we’ll put your work front and center—getting it in front of the major studios and agencies that are redefining media and entertainment.
