Filmustage, a startup founded by Belarusian engineers, uses AI to automate pre-production tasks like script breakdown, scheduling, and budgeting rather than replacing creative workers. The platform has raised $2.5 million and is used by over 34,000 students, independent filmmakers, and established producers including Oscar-winning set decorator Roger Christian. By automating repetitive administrative work, Filmustage aims to make professional production tools accessible to smaller teams and lower barriers to filmmaking without eliminating jobs.
PassiveShorts is a faceless video generator tool designed to create content for TikTok and YouTube without requiring on-camera talent or actors. The tool uses AI to automate video production from text input, reducing the manual work required for content creation. Creators can now produce multiple videos daily without filming themselves, lowering barriers to entry for short-form video content on social platforms.
Scape, a startup founded by two 23-year-old Swedes, launched an AI-powered email inbox that drafts responses and surfaces priority messages by learning from email history and meeting notes. The company raised $3.2 million from Y Combinator, General Catalyst, and FundersClub with backing from executives at OpenAI, Google, Meta, and Ramp. Users can now handle email tasks that previously required multiple steps—finding context, checking notes, filling forms—in a single click through Scape's interface.
