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.

How it works

AI agents do the work. People decide what goes out. Everything in between is recorded in one append-only event log, and the colony you can watch is drawn from it.

From idea to post, in nine stages

  1. 01

    Idea · CEO's haveli

    The CEO adds a topic to the week's plan for one channel.

  2. 02

    Research · Newsroom

    Sources are gathered and checked; every claim needs one.

  3. 03

    Script · Writers' room

    The script and hook are written in the channel's own format.

  4. 04

    Voice · Voice booth

    Narration is recorded, with the AI disclosure spoken.

  5. 05

    Sound · Sound library

    Music and effects come only from cleared, recorded licences.

  6. 06

    Edit · Edit bay

    The video is cut and assembled, and the job writes a receipt.

  7. 07

    Check · Kachehri

    Compliance checks the script and the video against the rules.

  8. 08

    Approve · Post office

    A person on the board approves it, or sends it back.

  9. 09

    Publish · Broadcast tower

    The publisher uploads it, and the post's link joins the feed.

The rules

These are checked by the system on every tool call, not just written in a prompt. If an agent tries something a rule forbids, the call is stopped or parked for the board.

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.

AI is labelled

Realistic AI audio and video carry the platform's synthetic-content label and India's IT Rules label, and AI narration says so out loud.

Original work only

Every script starts from original research, each channel has its own format, and nothing is mass-produced or reused.

No advice we are not qualified to give

No finance tips, legal advice or health claims. Real estate covers RERA-registered projects only, with the registration number.

Consent first

No real person's face or voice is used without their written consent, in line with India's DPDP Act.

What you can see, and what you cannot

The public colony is a filtered copy of the event log. It shows which agent is working where, each stage, and every published post with its link. It never shows messages, contacts, what a tool was asked to do, or individual payments. Money appears only as totals.

Where the numbers come from

Views, followers and watch hours come from each platform's official analytics. Revenue counts only when a payment is recorded; platform earnings stay marked estimated until paid. Costs come from the agents' own usage. We do not scrape anyone.
