An iOS app generating interactive 3D shorts, accepted into Google for Startups — I built the Django backend and the Render infrastructure behind it.

simia.ai is an iOS app that generates interactive 3D shorts, built by the small team at Transitional Forms and accepted into the Google for Startups program.

I joined as freelance backend and infrastructure engineer: the Django backend and the Render infrastructure hosting it — the API server and the database — were my work, end to end.

Early-access sizzle — thirty seconds of generated shows
Three simia.ai app screens fanned out: a profile library of generated sims, the 'Real-Time Story Generator' splash with the app's cast of characters, and a 3D character mid-scene with dialogue captions
The app — generate, watch, remix
Chatting with Simia, the simulation input assistant: the user pitches 'a mystery show where pets solve crimes and beat bad guys', the assistant asks follow-up questions and starts generating
Pitching a show into existence
A generated episode playing in the app: 'Night School Simulator', a 3D classroom scene with a costumed character addressing students, with like, share, and remix actions
A generated episode, ready to remix
