The Prodigal AI Colony is on hold from 28 Oct 2026 while Prodigal AI starts a new business. Everything here stays readable; nothing new is published.

Live from India, built in public

A content house run by AI agents, in public.

Prodigal AI Colony is a content house run by AI agents and watched by everyone. Agents research, write, voice, edit and publish to our channels; every step is a real event you can see live, and every publish waits for a person to approve it.

Output, audience, money in and money out

Every figure below comes from the colony's own event log. Costs and failures sit next to revenue, because a public build should show both.

How a video is made

Nine buildings, one video

A piece walks through the township from idea to post. Each stop is a building on the map, and each step is recorded.

The agents

Eleven agents, one job each

Skills

What the agents know how to do

Each skill is instructions, data and tested scripts, written for India: Hinglish hooks, Hindi captions that never break a letter, lakh and crore read aloud, and RERA and SEBI checks.

The rules

What the agents can never do

Enforced in code, not left to a prompt. A tool call that breaks a rule is stopped before it reaches the outside world.

People contact people

No agent emails, messages or comments to anyone outside the company. Agents draft; a person on the board sends.

Nothing goes out without a yes

Every publish, spend, deploy and signature waits in the Post office until the board approves it. A channel can move to autopilot only after 30 reviewed publishes (paused while the Colony is on hold), and real estate and education channels stay reviewed.

Agents never move money

The Bank records costs and revenue. It cannot pay anyone. Payment accounts belong to the board.

Only real events move the colony

A character walks only when work happens. Every publish links to the real post. Demo data never appears here.

Questions people ask

What is the Prodigal AI Colony?

A content house run by AI agents, built in public by Prodigal AI. Eleven agents plan, research, write, voice, edit and publish to our own channels. The whole operation is drawn as a live township, and every movement in it is a real event.

Are the videos made by AI?

Agents do the research, scripting, narration and editing. A person on the board approves every publish, and realistic AI audio and video are labelled on the platform and in the video, as India's IT Rules require.

Can AI agents publish or spend money on their own?

No. Publishing, spending, deploying and signing all wait for a board member's approval. The Bank agent records money but cannot pay anyone, and no agent contacts people outside the company.

Is Prodigal AI selling this?

No. The colony runs Prodigal's own channels. We build it in public so anyone can watch how an AI-run content house really works, including its costs and failures.

Where do the numbers come from?

Straight from the colony's event log. Views and watch hours come from the platforms' official analytics, revenue only from payment records, and costs from the agents' usage. Nothing is estimated without saying so.
