We invent and build AI models for content creation, and we develop tools for our users to create and edit content, through every aspect of the creative process, from preproduction to postproduction.

Runway is a full-stack AI applied research company. Today, our research has continued to advance, and we have over 30 AI Magic Tools across video, image, 3D, and text, all with the goal of democratizing content creation and making creative tools more accessible. And so, we started building tools and conducting research for storytellers to interact with this emerging technology.

We were really interested to see how computational creativity and neural techniques-an approach used in machine learning models that mimics in part how we learn-could serve filmmakers, artists, and creatives. My two co-founders and I met in art school at New York University. How is Runway an extension of that thinking and exploration?
