Steven Bartlett is using AI to scale beyond 'The Diary of a CEO'

Steven Bartlett has pushed AI across his media company FlightStory, which he built after raising an eight-figure round. The operation, which has about 100 employees and generated roughly $47 million last year, is using the technology to make podcasts, automate sales pitches and even produce a fully AI-animated children’s series called "Steven’s World." That show, aimed at five- to eight-year-olds, uses material from podcast guests such as Neil deGrasse Tyson and is in talks with major streamers.

FlightStory’s exploration began with a two-month internal competition Bartlett set for staff to create AI agents. The pre-production team won a $20,000 prize after building tools that improved much of their workflow, a challenge Isaac Martin described as a way to test what would work quickly.
