Instead of writing long build logs or recording traditional vlogs, my co-founder and I wanted to try something different.
We're documenting our startup journey by turning it into an AI-generated anime series.
Not for fiction.
For real startup moments. Episode 2 follows our cold outreach journey:
Finding an ICP
Testing different niches
Sending DMs
Getting ignored
Learning what works (and what doesn't) We're treating this as an experiment to see whether AI-generated storytelling can make the process of building a startup more engaging than the usual "build in public" content.
The goal isn't perfect animation.
It's authentic documentation—with AI as the creative medium.
We're still figuring it out, improving every episode, and learning as we go.
Would love to hear what fellow builders and developers think about this approach.
Could AI-powered anime become a new way to document products, startups, and open-source projects?
