Canvas helps you build it - from concept to story to production to distribution, without stitching together a studio first.
Your first IP is free.
Most ideas stall before they become a show. Here’s how Canvas gets them from a first thought to something you own.
A media IP can start with almost anything.
Your content gets views.
Your IP can become an asset.
We take a podcast, a channel, a body of expertise or a story and structure it into characters, formats and rights that can be produced, extended and licensed.
A recurring conversation already has hosts, running jokes and a format. We turn those into characters, a video series, spin-offs and a licensable format.
An audience becomes a concept, then a season, then a community with a franchise behind it.
Knowledge gets a repeatable format, so it can run as a series and grow into a media brand.
e.g.A tax advisor's weekly Q&A becomes a 10-episode explainer format.
An idea becomes characters, episodes and seasons, and finally a world other creators can build in.
A five-episode romance starring creator Ruhani Sharma: two strangers, one New York coffee shop and a board of Polaroids and dares.
One idea can become many forms of media.
Now imagine doing it from day one.
Our US originals, mostly set in New York and made for American viewers - plus a few more shows that show where the format can go.

Tell us anything. It doesn’t have to be a script.
It could be:
What are you thinking about building?
No scattered tools or long handoffs - describe what you want to make, and Canvas builds the rest.
A show about three immigrant founders in New York
Three immigrant founders in New York chase a Series A - and a green card.
Start with one line. Canvas takes it from there.
Turn an idea into a compelling media concept - even a rough one works.
Canvas AI agents help you build every layer of your IP.
Concepts, characters, world building, episodes and dialogue.
Build the storyBreakdowns, schedules, crew, locations, props and continuity.
Plan productionProduction budgets, cost estimates, scenarios and resource planning.
Build your budgetShot planning, call sheets, production requirements and dependencies.
Get production-readyTranslation, subtitles, dubbing and multilingual adaptation.
Go globalPlatform strategy, content packaging, launch planning and audience distribution.
Build distributionCampaigns, creative concepts, audience targeting and launch strategy.
Build your audienceBecause the underlying product isn’t the format.
The underlying product is IP creation.
But building an IP is still fragmented.
Canvas brings the workflow together.
One idea. One workspace. One IP.
If you already have something people respond to, it can become a property.
Turn it into a show. Canvas takes the audience you already built and develops a concept, a season structure and a format you can produce and extend.
Turn it into a media property. A company story becomes a documentary, then a recurring property with its own audience.
Turn it into entertainment. Knowledge becomes a format people watch for pleasure, not homework - and then a media brand.
Turn it into IP. Characters, worlds and visual language become an ownable property with seasons and spin-offs.
Build it faster. Breakdowns, schedules, budgets and call sheets come out of the same workspace as the script.
Build a media property around it. Not a campaign that ends - a format that returns, with an audience that expects it.
You’re not paying to use AI agents. You’re paying to build and operate your media IP.
Every property gets its own workspace, from the first concept through to the rights you end up owning.
Story, production, budget, pre-production, localization, distribution and marketing agents, working on your material.
Breakdowns, schedules and budgets built from the project itself, so a concept can be costed before it is committed to.
Localization, marketing and distribution handled in the same workspace the show was developed in.
For creators, production companies and brands building a property they intend to own.

Short answers about how Canvas works.
Canvas is infrastructure for building media IP - not another place to post content. It takes an idea from concept through story, production and distribution inside a single workspace.
Creators, founders, experts, artists, producers and brands. If you have an audience, a story, expertise, a creative universe, a concept or a cultural idea, Canvas is built to turn it into a property.
The First IP plan lets you explore Canvas, build your first IP, create your concept and develop your first project at no cost.
No. You bring the idea - Canvas handles concept, story, development, pre-production, production, localization, distribution and growth through its agents.
Each agent covers one layer of the build: story, production, budget, pre-production, localization, distribution and marketing. The AI is the interface; the IP is the asset.
The Distribution Agent handles platform strategy, packaging and launch planning, and you can publish across Canvas as well as other distribution channels.
You bring the idea. We’ll help you build it - concept, story, production and distribution, in one workspace.
Your first IP is free.
