Content creation has finally caught up to the pace of ideas.

Short videos rule the internet, but the tools to make them still feel slow and technical. People want to experiment and try things quickly without long editing sessions. That tension shaped our Early Access build of Simia.

Our newest walkthrough shows how you can explore curated templates, remix ideas instantly, customize characters, and generate videos in real time. Simia works inside its own stylized creative world which gives you fast performance, consistent characters, and a simple way to bring ideas to life. Simia makes it simple to turn an idea into a shareable moment in seconds.

Early Access is live on iOS in the US, Canada, and the UK. Your feedback is already helping shape our next updates 🔥

This year at we didn’t just watch stories on screen, we joined the conversation about how stories themselves are being reimagined 💫

Our Co-Founder & CCO, Pietro Gagliano, joinedHannah Elsakr, Ed Ulbrich and Ryan Patterson for the panel “Spotlight: AI on the Roof” to explore what happens when creativity and generative AI meet in real time. The discussion revealed how these tools are not only shifting production pipelines, but they are also reshaping the very form of storytelling.

At Transitional Forms, this is the question we’re obsessed with: What happens when a story never has to end? Pietro’s panel was a glimpse of that future, and we are building it every day with Simia.

Special thanks to Todd Terrazas and AI on the Lot for putting this together and to Laura Mingail for the ongoing support and inspiration in connecting talented people through technology 🤖

What if storytelling never ended? That question just earned us a coveted spot in this year's TechCrunch Disrupt Startup Battlefield 200🎊

Today, most platforms deliver static posts and single-version clips. Stories start, then stop. Creativity hits a wall.

Simia.AI - The Real-Time Story Generator is here to change that 💥

It’s the real-time generative story platform that turns audiences into co-creators. Built on our patented technology, every idea instantly becomes a video that can be remixed, reshaped, and shared. It is powered by our 3-way authorship model, where creators, audiences, and AI build stories together.

Simia has its own whimsical style, but it can adapt to any creative world or IP. Enabling participatory storytelling and what we call , story worlds where creators and audiences hold the keys to invent entirely new narratives that could never exist in static media.

From thousands of startups worldwide, only 200 are chosen. Being named to the Battlefield is a milestone for our team, following last year’s debut at TechCrunch Disrupt as part of the program.

We are grateful for the guidance of Iran Karimian, Alice Kawka and the team at Google for Startups Accelerator: Canada as we’ve built toward this moment. A big thank you to Michael J. Schick and Isabelle Johannessen for making this opportunity possible. We look forward to your leadership and support as we get ready to bring Simia to the global stage.

We can’t wait to bring Simia to San Francisco and show what endless, evolving storytelling looks like.
See you at this October 🌍✨
