For over 10 years, Artlist’s mission has been to empower creators to bring their visions to life. As the creative industry undergoes its biggest shift yet, that mission hasn’t changed — but it has evolved for the age of AI.
With a steady stream of new model releases, keeping track of AI tools has become increasingly difficult. Add to that the continued frustration over a lack of consistency, control, and general disorganization, and it became clear creators deserved tools that worked the way they do, letting them focus on shaping their ideas and telling stories on their own terms.
The first step was the release of the AI Toolkit, the most organized AI platform for creators, where every AI model and tool lives in one place and evolves with each new release and capability. To complete this ecosystem, we’re building the Artlist Studio — the first true AI production platform to give you complete control over every stage of the creation process.
The Artlist Studio redefines what it means to create today.
Creation, the way it’s meant to be
While the AI Toolkit provides creative freedom, Artlist Studio puts control back into your hands. Artlist Studio follows your directions, replicating the best parts of real creative work:
- Casting characters
- Location scouting
- Building your story
The Studio gives you structure and control — the feeling of being on set, making intentional choices. You start creating the way you would naturally, by bringing your characters to life, as you imagine them. Using as little or as much descriptive text as you’d like, the Artlist Studio will provide you with multiple options. The small visual differences, the feeling you get looking at each one, that’s how you cast your characters.
Every detail, from how your characters move, their wardrobe in any given scene, and how they interact within a space, is all in your hands. You’re the director, producer, and crew. You control it all.
Create like you’re on set
Imagine you’re building a short scene. You know your character, who she is, how she moves, how she belongs in the story. With that level of control and consistency already in hand, you don’t just pick a location to drop her into — you create your setting. The colors, the textures, the small details that give the scene its soul. You can change the colors of the walls, and change them back again. For every object your character interacts with, you place it precisely where you want it.
With barriers removed, an individual creator or even a full-blown production house can create truly anything they can imagine, from passion projects to full films, end to end, intuitively and seamlessly.
Frame. Direct. Refine.
Once you’ve set the elements of your scene, the real directing begins. Maybe you want to close a door, add more extras, change the lighting, or reframe the shot. You’re not locked into a single output. With Artlist Studio, you’re shaping every frame, just like on a real set.
The way your character inhabits that space, the time of day, the warmth or coldness of the lighting, you set the rules of your world, and every frame will follow your instructions. It’s unparalleled creative license and autonomy.
When you’re done, what you have isn’t just a clip — it’s a complete, cohesive scene, built with intention.
Collaboration built in
Great films are never made alone, which is why Artlist Studio lets you collaborate the way you already do, getting feedback from teammates, iterating on ideas, and making big creative changes without breaking everything else.
Need to adjust the environment? With the saved library, you can make that change across the entire story, and your world stays consistent. Maybe you have the vision, but your teammate is in charge of bringing it to life with curated wardrobes, hair, and makeup — just like on a real set. Work together with ease, feeding off each other’s enthusiasm and creativity.
The Studio is built for storytelling at scale, where continuity matters and every detail shines through.
Absolute creative control
The Artlist Studio is the future of AI video production because it gives you something invaluable in today’s reality: cinematic control without complexity.
It’s not about endlessly tweaking prompts. It’s about making intuitive creative decisions, in exactly the way filmmakers always have.
You choose.
You shape.
You direct.
AI simply does the heavy lifting.
“Artlist Studio isn’t here to replicate the process of creation, but to replicate the best parts of creating. The way you created in the real world before AI. The thought process and decision-making that make what we do so human and exceptional.” — Josh Davies, Artlist, CIO
Built for the next era of storytelling
As we look ahead at the future of AI video production, tools like the AI Toolkit and Artlist Studio are radically transforming not only the market but the point of entry into the industry. Artlist Studio will enable a professional production house or advertising agency to turn around a complete campaign in a fraction of the time — without compromising on quality or vision. Additionally, indie filmmakers with significantly smaller budgets will be able to create cinematic videos at that same high quality level.
It’s a new way to make movies, commercials, stories, and worlds, all with the power of AI and the soul of real filmmaking. Sign up for the waitlist here, and in the meantime, start creating with the AI Toolkit.
