The partnership integrates Utopai's proprietary cinematic storytelling AI system, PAI, into DeNA's experimental animation production workflows, covering visual development, design, scene planning, and iteration, while ensuring artists retain full creative control. Earlier on September 3, 2026, Utopai Studios officially announced the launch of this AI-assisted animation production collaboration in Japan.
