Indian filmmakers Hansal Mehta, Rajesh Mapuskar and Rohit Vaid have been among the early users of Agentic Canvas, a new AI-powered creative platform launched by Collective Artists Network through its Galleri5 AI studio division.
According to the company, the platform has been developed to support filmmakers and creators across various stages of the creative process, including world-building, narrative development, visual storytelling and production planning. Their use of the platform informed the workflows and creative frameworks that now underpin Agentic Canvas.
Unlike conventional AI tools that generate standalone images or videos, Agentic Canvas, say the developers, operates through a team of 12 specialised AI agents designed to mimic the roles of creative professionals such as writers, directors, cinematographers and art directors, reducing development time and production costs.
Collective Artists Network said Agentic Canvas is already being used across film, television, branded content and digital projects. The platform has reportedly supported projects ranging from mythology-inspired cinematic universes to AI-powered avatars and interactive storytelling experiences.
Vijay Subramaniam, Founder and Group CEO, Collective Artists Network, said, "Every generation gets a new creative medium that changes how stories are told. We believe agentic AI is that medium for our generation. Beyond the automation, Agentic Canvas gives creators access to an entire creative team of AI specialists that can help develop ideas, explore possibilities and accelerate execution, while leaving creative judgment exactly where it belongs: with the storyteller. The future of entertainment will be shaped by those who learn to collaborate with these new creative tools, and that's the future we're building towards."
Rahul Regulapati, CEO of Galleri5 and Partner at Collective Artists Network, added, “Agentic Canvas brings together specialised AI writers, directors, cinematographers, art directors and critics that work together behind the scenes. The result is faster production, lower costs and significantly more creative exploration because creators can test ten ideas instead of one. Our goal is simple: help people create things they otherwise would never have had the time, budget or team to make.”
