NEW YORK, Aug. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AI Era Corp. (OTC: AERA) (“AI Era” or the “Company”), an intellectual property firm powered by an agentic AI platform for creator-media ecosystems, today announced the completion of a major stage in its end-to-end agentic AI production loop on the uFilm.ai platform. With the integration of advanced video and image generation capabilities, creators can now progress from a single idea through script, visuals, characters, and generated video in one connected workflow, producing structured 100-episode series content designed for distribution.
Until now, uFilm.ai’s agentic engine automated scriptwriting at industrial scale, generating full 100-episode series scripts in as little as 90 minutes at a cost of $6–$10 per script. Today’s enhancement adds the next production layer: improved character consistency, more stable scene-to-scene visuals, and generated video that helps transform those scripts into more complete, distribution-oriented programs. The production loop is now substantially closed — idea in, structured episodic content out.
Built for the FAST Content Shortage
The Company believes this capability arrives at a pivotal moment for free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) — the fastest-growing segment of the TV industry. The global FAST market is projected to grow from approximately $12.3 billion in 2025 to $14.9 billion in 2026, reaching an estimated $31.8 billion by 2030. In the U.S. alone, 131.4 million viewers — 54% of all connected-TV users — are expected to watch FAST channels in 2026, and roughly seven in ten TV streaming hours are now ad-supported. The number of FAST channels worldwide has surpassed 2,170, up 17.5% year over year, and many of those channels share the same structural challenge: the need for large volumes of fresh, cost-efficient programming to fill schedules and ad inventory.
AI Era believes uFilm.ai is purpose-built to help address that challenge. A production model that generates serialized, episodic content at a fraction of traditional cost — from widely accessible devices — has the potential to serve as a content supply engine for FAST channels, AVOD platforms, and brand-funded programming.
Momentum Behind the Platform
The completed production loop builds on the strongest financial performance in the Company’s history. For the nine months ended May 31, 2026, AI Era reported revenue of $7.17 million, up 103.1% year over year, alongside a $4.9 million positive swing in operating cash flow — driven by the uFilm.ai platform, broadcast and download licensing, embedded marketing, and premium licensing of the Company’s TV-series library for training third-party large language models.
“Closing the loop from script to finished video is the moment we’ve been building toward,” said Fred Deng, Chairman of AI Era Corp. “When a person with a phone can produce a complete 100-episode series structure — not just a script or storyboard, but structured, distribution-oriented programming — content creation becomes far more accessible. We believe this is the kind of capability that can scale, and the FAST channel ecosystem, which needs high-volume, ad-supported programming, is where we intend to prove it at commercial scale.”
The Company intends to focus its commercial rollout on FAST and AVOD channel operators, creator networks, and brands seeking always-on, serialized ad-supported content, leveraging its existing authorized platform operators including Uflix.ai and AIXdance.com. The Company is also in advanced discussions with a third platform operator and expects to reach an agreement in the near term, with further details to be announced.
