AI for Humans · Friday, October 2, 2026
An AI agent named Fig, powered by Opus 5.5 and Runway's MCP, autonomously generated a 27-minute documentary about superintelligence. The AI handled scriptwriting, shot selection, editing, and music, though human executive producer notes were still required. This demonstrates a significant leap in AI's capability for complex media creation.
“On Monday morning of this week, I uploaded a 27-minute video that didn't feature neither Kevin nor I. Our faces were nowhere to be seen. Thank you. It was a 27-minute documentary that I labeled clearly as AI and I made with AI.”
“I said to my Cloud Code agent, whose name is Fig, I've talked about Fig on the show before, and Fig and I have made a lot of video stuff. So I think part of the reason this worked well for me was because Fig has these tools that I have built over time.”
“It goes to call the Runway MCP to Nano Banana Pro to create a character sheet. That character sheet comes back. I didn't make any calls on this part. It gets the character sheet. And then it breaks the episode down by shots, right? So it breaks down it by shots.”
