In today’s episode we’re joined by Debajyoti Ray, Founder and CEO of RivetAI, a startup producing AI-powered tools for storytellers and filmmakers. Rivet’s tools are inspired in part by the founders’ collaboration with the team that created Sunspring, a short, AI-written film starring Silicon Valley’s Thomas Middleditch, which you may have seen when it was making the rounds a while back. Deb and I discuss some of what he’s learned in the journey to apply AI to content creation, including how Rivet approaches the use of machine learning to automate creative processes, the company’s use hierarchical LSTM models and autoencoders, and the tech stack that they’ve put in place to support the business.
