Over the past few years, ORIGIN STØRIES has been quietly building toward a very specific vision: personalised AI systems for entertainment and live experiences. We’ve built early. We’ve tested early. And we’ve often been ahead of how the world talks about these tools. Our work spans AI-powered content production, personalised storytelling systems, and real-time visual experiences for live events. We’ve built across multiple stacks, experimented with decentralised compute, and validated ideas through pilots rather than slides. This year alone, we:Delivered a paid real-time AI visual activation at Slush (800+ people)Built AI production pipelines for personalised content and characters on two different blockchains (Base and Mantle)Explored decentralised infrastructure and cloud-based inference to reduce technical complexity using Livepeer and DaydreamPrepared a live showcase for Eurosonic, Europe’s largest booking and music conferenceDid extensive research on how AI could be applied to a variety of creative verticalsProduced a series of educational content about AI and how it can be used for engagement, creativity, optimization, and efficiency.We’re now entering a phase where execution matters more than theory. JOIN THE ORIGIN STØRIES PATRON CIRCLEHOLIBASE CO-CREATION EXPERIENCE LIVE IN BASE APPWhy a Patron Circle?Historically, many of the most important creative and technological breakthroughs weren’t funded through traditional venture paths alone. They were supported by patrons, individuals and teams who believed early, enabled experimentation, and gained proximity to innovation before it became obvious. The Patron Circle is our way of doing that today. We’re opening a small, limited group to support a focused innovation sprint leading into:Our Eurosonic showcase this winterNew real-time AI performance featuresDeeper pilots with agencies, venues, and creatorsRefinement of VPM Studio, our AI-powered creative workflow systemThis sprint is about turning validated ideas into repeatable, commercial systems. OUR CREATIVE AUTOMATION SYSTEM - VPMWhat We’re Building (and Why It Matters)1. AI-powered production pipelinesWe’re developing workflows that allow teams to create high-quality, story-driven visuals without massive production overhead. These pipelines make it possible to move faster while maintaining a premium aesthetic.2. Personalised experiences at scaleFrom character-based storytelling to audience-adaptive visuals, we’re focused on systems that allow multiple variations of a single creative idea, not one static output.3. Real-time systems, simplifiedBy moving inference to the cloud, we reduce the need for specialised hardware or on-site technical operators. This lowers costs and makes advanced visuals accessible to venues and organisers who would otherwise never attempt them.4. Converged creative workflowsWe’re exploring how a shared set of assets and tools can translate IP across formats—live performance, short-form video, experiential installations, and more—without rebuilding from scratch each time. In short: we’re democratising premium creative production, while opening new commercial models for entertainment and live experiences. JOIN THE ORIGIN STØRIES PATRON CIRCLEThe Eurosonic Showcase 14 JanuaryThis January, ORIGIN STØRIES has been invited to create a live showcase during Eurosonic, Europe’s leading music and booking conference with more 40,000 attendees. We’ll be demonstrating our real-time AI system in a live performance contextm adaptive visuals that respond to performers and audiences as the moment unfolds. For us, this is a critical step in showing how personalised AI can move beyond content creation and into live, shared experiences for venues, artists, and organisers. We will also highlight innovative creative tech projects in the venue entrance. The showcase will take place at EM2 and we have confirmed an incredible lineup of performers, which we will officially announce soon.Why Now?The tools exist. The demand is clear. But most teams are still learning how to apply AI meaningfully in creative contexts. Because we’ve been early, we’ve been invited into rooms and opportunities that now require us to move fast:Eurosonic as a GTM catalystAgency and enterprise conversations in motionGrowing interest in real-time, personalised experiencesThe Patron Circle gives us the flexibility to execute this sprint properly, without slowing down or over-optimising for short-term optics.What Patrons ReceivePatrons aren’t just supporters—they’re participants. Depending on tier, Patrons receive:Early access to new AI workflows and toolsAI content production or strategy sessions for teamsInvitations to private demos and group sessionsVisibility at our Eurosonic showcase and on our site and growing social accounts.Early access to our upcoming pre-seed roundWe’re also planning to highlight creator, startup, and builder showcases as part of this phase—bringing Patron-supported work into public view. How to Get InvolvedPatron spots are limitedContributions can be made in 300+ cryptocurrencies or via fiatThis initiative runs alongside (and feeds into) our broader go-to-market and fundraising plansORIGIN STØRIES has always sat at the intersection of culture, technology, and experimentation. The Patron Circle is an extension of that philosophy—a way to support real work, happening now, with real outcomes in the coming months. If you believe in personalised experiences, creative autonomy, and the next evolution of entertainment systems, we’d love to build this chapter with you.Join the Patron Circle or Collect this post to support our upcoming Eurosonic Showcase and ongoing development.
