AI Roundtable
Tech commentary with a cast audiences already understand.
AI Roundtable is a weekly animated show where personified AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok — spar over the launches, controversies, and contradictions shaping technology. The format transforms product news into character-driven entertainment, turning dry announcements into a conversation worth staying for.
Each AI has a distinct voice and perspective drawn from its public reputation. The register is a sparring match: adversarial in form, warm underneath. They jab at the products and at each other, and everyone lands hits — but nobody is actually wounded, and the audience already knows the characters before they press play.
Phase 1
The Launchpad
- Format
- Weekly YouTube episodes (10–15 minutes)
- Goal
- Build an engaged audience of tech-curious viewers, founders, and product teams.
- Establish the show’s voice, running jokes, and visual style through consistent weekly uploads
- Grow subscriber base and community through shareable clips and social distribution
- Build credibility as a source of informed, entertaining tech commentary
- Build a serialized cast — accumulated history and inside jokes that reward regular viewers and can’t be cloned by a latecomer
Phase 2
The Business
- Model
- B2B advertising and redistribution licensing
- Goal
- Monetize the audience through direct relationships with companies launching products.
- Paid launch coverage: Companies pay for featured segments covering their product announcements ($2K–$5K per segment, scaling with audience)
- Redistribution licenses: Companies purchase rights to repurpose AI Roundtable clips for their own Product Hunt pages, social media, LinkedIn, and ad campaigns
- Brand partnerships: Ongoing sponsorship relationships with dev tools, AI companies, and B2B SaaS
- Traditional ad revenue: YouTube AdSense as baseline income
The B2B model means revenue doesn’t depend on massive scale. Each episode is a sales opportunity, and the AI industry’s relentless news cycle guarantees endless material.
