Gen AI Commercialization

We conducted a workshop to discuss the monetization and user experience (GTM motion) of Generative AI content, discussing industry best practices and recommendations for the BlissQuest biopic. The workshop highlighted the rapid growth of Generative AI and multi-modal (text, images, video, etc) content, but also noted a lag in monetization strategies.

Three key approaches to monetizing AI emerged:

• tiered access models and enhancements to existing go-to-market,

• usage-based models and user-centric personalization, and

• outcome-based workflows and domain-centric platforms and ecosystems

  Tiered pricing for subscription offers is most common, but may limit early adoption and potential revenue from attractive creator and producers segments. More granular usage-based pricing, while aligning costs with value and improving transparency, can be highly volatile and produce unpredictable revenue streams. Similarly, add-on pricing offers flexibility and clear revenue attribution, but could slow adoption of emerging markets and subject companies to the ‘innovators dilemma’ paradigm. Outcome-based pricing is emerging in B2B AI and while it more difficult to implement, it shifts the focus to clear user-centric value and commits to a more transparent value exchange with customers.

Participants discussed AI capabilities beyond content creation, such as data analysis, digital archival, evaluations of trust and authenticity, as well as interactive user engagement. This shift reinforces AI's evolution toward more dynamic, agent-based platforms.

Workshop participants studied BlissQuest biopic’s approach to multi-modal storytelling to create a richer user experiences, including incorporating diverse media formats and interactive elements. Experts showed examples of how global media producers are leading the thinking in ethical AI practices to address bias and transparency.

Leveraging innovative digital distribution models will differentiate GenAI-enabled biopics that leverage native multi-modal content and autonomous online platforms. Diligent segmentation and prioritization of tradeoffs across distinct audiences will ensure a positive, personalized and continuously engaging user experience.

The BlissQuest biopic will incorporate these best practice recommendations to ensure it engages future generations and leads on Generative AI as a vehicle for innovation and responsible promotion of cross-cultural empathy.
