AI for Brainstorming and Ideation

Use AI for brainstorming and ideation before committing to production. Test concepts, explore directions and align stakeholders faster than any traditional concepting process.

Runway's AI brainstorming and ideation tools give creative teams in product design and media and entertainment a way to visualize concepts before committing to production. Generate cinematic scenes, character treatments, stylized environments and location options from a text prompt. Test directions, explore aesthetics and align stakeholders with visual proof before a single dollar goes into production, then take the direction you land on into content creation.
