First, the big news

A patent I authored has been granted, and is now the property of Aeon. The invention? A method to convert the web into a linear video experience, providing an endless stream of information at your fingertips, on any topic you can imagine.

Now, let me share the backstory.

I've been thinking about AI video production for a long time. In fact, that patent was authored 15 years ago! 

Over the years, we have seen AI provide a number of useful, although fairly straightforward, value propositions. Companies like Opus Clip focus on making existing video production easier for professionals. Others, such as Lumen5, make video generation more accessible for people who lack the skills or funds to hire a professional team.

But at Aeon, we're tackling something different. My personal interest has always been in scale.

While AI and software are great at lowering costs and barriers to entry, their true strength lies in the ability to do things 1,000 times over without getting tired.

Millions of stories that have never been told

Think about it: for every video produced, there are millions of pieces of content – written, photographed, or conceived – that never make it into video format. Imagine turning a hotel review webpage into a stunning travel video, a list of the best neighborhood burger joints into a mouth-watering visual experience, or an in-depth news story hidden behind a paywall into an informative trailer.

Now, picture this happening for every hotel, every burger place, every news story – a million times over. That's our mission at Aeon. We've developed the most sophisticated pipeline to create videos from anything you can imagine at the scale modern media companies require. We're going from thought to visual expression instantly, at an unprecedented scale.

I'm incredibly proud of our team's work in making this vision a reality. The granting of this patent is a significant milestone for Aeon and validates the innovative work we've been doing.

Conclusion

We're excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI video generation. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue on this incredible journey to revolutionize the way the world consumes information through the power of AI-generated video at scale.
