What is Showrunner?
Showrunner is a platform from Fable Studio where people watch series produced with AI and build shows of their own. The catalogue is browsed by genre, with comedy, anime, fantasy, sitcom, horror, sci-fi and live-action sections and a chart of the most-watched titles. To create, a user can start a show from a YouTube link or an uploaded video, write and direct individual scenes, and then join scenes into an episode. Characters are customised by appearance, voice and personality and can return in later episodes; a user may also upload themselves to appear on screen. The sets, cast and canon of a show persist across the series. Published shows can be remixed by viewers, and the site says creators are paid when fans pay to do so. An iOS app is offered as well.
