How I compete with an Ai, that replaced me overnight...
'Software prices are rising. Crews are shrinking. We built something different.' - Storyboard Canvas Ai
Calling all bedroom business / Ai developer analysts!!!
I have seen a number of posts where posting founders have been torn apart by the commenters - i would like to encourage this.
Vapourware? Ai vibe code slop? How was it done? Is it possible for a struggling storyboard artist with no coding history to design, develop and release a software suite to rival adobe or google? What Ai models did we use? Did we/I just prompt a brand? Is this all just a delusional post from a random dude on reddit with no real world value? Or a good vibe? Useful? Commendable?

Before 2025 I was one of the best storyboard artists in the world. A wonderful career of over 20 years, honing my craft, hundreds of thousands of hours, to master my craft and get paid...
In January 2025 I noticed a huge decline in income - i put my head in the sand and decided to ignore the unavoidable inevitability that a computer could really compete with a human artist.
6 months turned into 8 and nothing was getting better for me = i had to adapt or get crushed into bankruptcy...
I chose to fight, to evolve, to learn and create - just like I always have.
Its been 10 months since I founded Storyboard Canvas Ai, and this morning at 4am we released v7, Live now across the globe accessible in 25 languages..
The All-in-one film production software suite for video pre-production which replaces the complex daily toolkit for videographers, producers, directors, writers, artists, crew, production designers and anybody who contributes to the script to screen video, film, tv and entertainment production process.
Sure its not a reward ceremony 'I would like to thank my mum and Jesus..' just yet, this is just another milestone on a marathon that has just started, but I feel confident enough to share here.
'One login that replaces a £4,500+/year stack of single-purpose film production software and outsourced talent for as little as £15/month, built around the people on set, not the people replacing them. Powered by DollyAI™
A tool to empower human teams, not replace them.'

Check us out and drop your comments I would love to hear what everyone thinks. Please do share any recommendations, or anything we can do better. I believe in building in the open and new to reddit if anyone can point me in the right direction of reddit communities we could benefit from.
Thanks!
