About Event

Hey everyone,

This Wednesday 10-11am PT / 1-2pm ET is our weekly digital get together to connect on how we are all making our way through this new era for creative industries and AI among other emergent technologies, sharing ideas, tips, knowledge amongst ourselves.

Our group is an amazing mix of creators/ producers/ builders/ some new to this stuff/ some OG/ all of us constantly learning.

This week’s guests:

Jenna Cao is a consumer AI founder, platform operator, and commercialization advisor working at the intersection of AI adoption, creator ecosystems, and mainstream consumer behavior. Her background spans platforms (ByteDance TikTok-CapCut-Dreamina, Shutterstock), consumer (L’Oréal, Nike), and capital markets (Citigroup). She is the founder of Vibe Code Mama, an emerging cultural intelligence layer exploring how AI adoption happens in real life across creators, storytelling, workflows, commerce, and everyday behavior. Through recurring demo nights, salons, and live experimentation across LA and NYC, Vibe Code Mama brings together creators, founders, filmmakers, and modern consumers exploring the future of AI-native life and work.

Alongside Vibe Code Mama, she works with select AI-native creators, filmmakers, brands, and startups through wellai.io using the ARC framework — Attention, Revenue, Compound — focused on audience growth, commercialization, partnerships, and scalable distribution in the AI era. Advisor and guest lecturer across TIFF, Tech Week, Cornell Tech, Columbia, Parsons, and LMU Film School. Her work centers on a core belief: the defining companies of the AI era will not simply build better capabilities — they will unlock cultural adaptation and behavioral intelligence at scale.

Koh Terai is an artist, cinematographer, designer, and founder working at the intersection of creative technology and visual storytelling. He is the CEO and founder of Martini, a Y Combinator-backed company building AI-native tools for professional film and video production.

His work has been exhibited internationally, including at Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes, Dubai Design Week, Singapore Good Design, and the InterCommunication Center (ICC) in Tokyo. He holds a degree in Computer Science from NYU Abu Dhabi and a Master’s in Design from Stanford University.
