The story

The studio is one app on my Mac and a crew of agents. For each channel they pick what to make, write it, voice it, animate it and cut the vertical video. A critic agent judges every post before it counts as ready.

Finished posts are scheduled on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram at least two hours ahead and labelled AI-generated. I veto a post by deleting it. Spending is capped, and every Sunday a report proposes changes that I approve or reject.

Ambessa means lion in Amharic. The studio started with Amharic channels and now makes English ones too. Gash Worku explains what matters in Germany today, in Amharic, for Ethiopians and Eritreans living here. Habeshi Kids is Amharic songs and stories for Habesha children abroad, with Emama Tsehay, “Grandma Sun”, and her grandchildren. TRACE is the newest: hyperreal 3D films of everyday moments.
