Animaj will receive investment from Google's AI Futures Fund, early access to their most advanced generative AI models, and direct collaboration with teams across Google to create enriching, high-quality content for our global YouTube audience.
We're thrilled to share that Animaj has joined Google's AI Futures Fund, a milestone that marks a defining moment in our mission to build the next generation of kids' media company.
As part of this partnership, Animaj will receive investment from Google's AI Futures Fund, early access to their most advanced generative AI models, and direct collaboration with teams across Google to create enriching, high-quality content for our global YouTube audience.
Since we founded Animaj, we've been building toward a simple but radical idea: that a kids' media company built from the ground up with AI at its core could create better content, faster, and closer to where audiences already are. We're fortunate to have a partner in Google who believes in where this is going.
Animaj exemplifies how AI can empower creators. Their AI-native approach shows how advanced technology can strengthen creative ambition, brand safety, and IP ownership. It's a compelling blueprint for the future of kids' and family entertainment.
— Jonathan Silber, Co-Founder & Director, Google's AI Futures Fund
At the heart of Animaj is a proprietary, AI-native studio platform that combines Audience Intelligence, Sketch-to-Pose, and Motion-In-Betweening tools to produce full episodes from concept to YouTube release in under five weeks, roughly four times faster than the traditional animation pipeline. These tools don't replace our animators. They remove the bottlenecks around them, freeing our creative teams to focus on what matters most: storytelling, character, and quality.
Where legacy studios start with a TV commission and hope digital follows, we start where the audience already is. Animaj reaches 242 million unique monthly viewers on YouTube every month, making us the 5th largest digital kids' audience worldwide. That real-time data isn't just a metric, it's our creative compass. We use it to understand what resonates, what IPs have the potential to become global franchises, and then expand winning content into streaming, licensing, and beyond.
We're also committed to demonstrating that advanced AI and responsible content creation are not in conflict, they reinforce each other. Animaj is a reference case for what responsible AI in media can look like, especially in the kids' and family space: technology that enhances creative ambition and protects IP ownership, without replacing creators.
This partnership marks a key milestone in our mission to build a next-generation media company, one where AI, creativity, and IP ownership reinforce each other. With Google's support, we're accelerating our ability to create premium kids content faster, smarter, and more responsibly.
— Sixte de Vauplane, CEO, Animaj
With this partnership, we're accelerating on multiple fronts, pushing production timelines even further while expanding into interactive storytelling and new entertainment formats designed for how the next generation of kids actually discovers and engages with content.
The future of kids' media is AI-native, data-driven, and digital-first. We're building it.
