Artificial intelligence technology has revolutionized virtually every industry, including entertainment. Although some have expressed concern over issues like potential copyright infringement or the loss of humanity in creative output, the truth of AI in entertainment is something much more exciting. When creatives use AI as a tool to help them enhance their creative process, the result is creative output that is more efficient and democratic than ever before.

At this intersection between cutting-edge technology and high-quality storytelling is Pocket FM, a leading audio entertainment platform specializing in long-form narrative audio series. After already revolutionizing the audio entertainment space with its unique approach to the format, Pocket FM is poised to start yet another revolution by implementing artificial intelligence technology into its creative workflow, empowering creators from around the world to make their best work.

“Our AI tools are designed to boost human creativity, not replace it,” asserts Lalit Gangwar, Head-US at Pocket FM. “In introducing these powerful AI tools to our platform, our goal is to make it so that anyone can create a high-quality audio series so long as they have a great story to tell.”

How creators can use AI to boost their creativity

Many creators have already begun to use artificial intelligence technology as an assistant for their brainstorming process, helping them stimulate idea generation. For example, if a writer experiences “writer’s block” and gets stuck with a particular ending or character arc, they can ask an AI model for advice on how they should continue their story. This can help stimulate ideas and the creation of high-quality storytelling.

However, Pocket FM has also introduced a series of AI-powered creation tools to its platform, designed to empower creators with the tools they need to create the high-quality audio entertainment that the platform has become known for. If a creator has written and created a story they think is great, they can go onto Pocket FM and choose one of several AI voices to bring that story to life. This approach equalizes creativity, allowing anyone to create a high-quality audio series, even if they don’t have the money or experience it would typically take to do so.

Additionally, Pocket FM has recently introduced a new tool allowing creators to localize their content to other countries. Pocket FM was launched in India but has grown to several different countries, and it is seeing massive success in translating its top-performing content into other languages for international audiences. Using an AI tool to translate these series expedites the process and allows creators to get their content to more people, faster, while telling the same quality of story.

“Ultimately, we hope that our AI creation tools help unlock greater levels of human creativity,” says Gangwar. “Plenty of writers have a great story to tell, but don’t know how to produce an audio show, or don’t have access to the tools they need. Our AI platform allows these writers to produce a high-quality narrative audio series from their scripts when they previously would not have been able to realize their work.”

Why Pocket FM’s use of AI will revolutionize entertainment

One of the most exciting things about Pocket FM democratizing access to tools for audio series creation in this way is that they also provide a truly democratic platform. Pocket FM is built around a microtransactions model, where listeners pay for only the content they want to consume. Select episodes of a show are made available for free, and if a listener hopes to continue their binge, they can purchase access to additional episodes. This structure makes it particularly easy to compensate creators for their work, allowing a revenue share based on how much the audience connects with the content.

However, these tools for audio series are just scratching the surface of how AI can help creatives in the entertainment industry. Pocket Entertainment, the parent company of Pocket FM, has already successfully launched a webcomics platform named Pocket Toons that introduces a suite of AI tools to automate and help streamline processes like background rendering, scene composition, coloring, and quality control.

Indeed, with their innovative use of artificial intelligence, the team at Pocket Entertainment is making it more accessible than ever for creators to tell their stories through the audio series format. These use cases of AI technology do not represent a replacement for human creators, but an augmentation of their abilities. If you are a creator with a great story to tell but don’t know where to begin, why not check out Pocket FM and its amazing suite of AI-powered content tools?
