Build the tools your production needs.

Kamikai is an AI research lab that works inside real productions. Most AI companies build a platform and ask the industry to adapt to it — which is why consumer and indie adoption raced ahead while professional studios stayed on the sidelines. We start from the other end: your pipeline, and the problems specific to it. Joint development is where that begins. For larger productions adopting Kamikai, we stay beside you through rollout and real cuts.

Joint development

For studios and large media companies who want the technology built around their production, not the other way around. We go in, study the problems specific to your pipeline, and build bespoke solutions for them — models, workflow integrations, and production systems developed inside real projects with your team. A production-ready system built around your existing craft, with your artwork, rights, and decisions at the center.

Deliverables

  • Custom-trained models on your artwork, your styles, and your characters
  • Bespoke research and model work on problems specific to your production
  • Workflow integrations that sit inside the tools your team already uses
  • A working system proven on real cuts, not a demo

Forward-deployed production support

For productions adopting Kamikai at scale. Our team works alongside yours through rollout — setup, training, and troubleshooting on live cuts until the system runs without us. Adoption that survives contact with a real schedule.

Deliverables

  • Production workflow mapping and rollout planning
  • Forward-deployed support on real cuts
  • Artist and production-team onboarding
  • A feedback loop into product and pipeline integration
