We are hosting an exclusive gathering in Tokyo on May 21 with our friends at @rhizomatiks and @filtokyox. I’ll be sharing the stage with @daitomanabe. Apply for access here: filtokyo.com/runway-tokyo-g…

Today we're announcing Runway's expansion into Japan: we're opening a Tokyo office and investing an initial $40M in the country, as we build on what is already one of our largest and fastest-growing markets. We've tripled our enterprise customer base in the country in the last 12 months, with Japan becoming our third largest market globally. Companies like Yamaha, NHN and SoftBank are adopting Runway across marketing, advertising and creative content, and this expansion brings us closer to Japan's leading companies in gaming, media and robotics. Learn more about the initiative and the roles we're hiring for at the link below.

Custom voices are now available for Runway Characters. Design new voices from text prompts and start building Characters that sound exactly like you want them to.

Runway Characters now supports camera and screen sharing. Users can share a live feed and the Character will see, understand and respond to what's on screen. All in real time via the Runway API.

Last night, Senior Director of Applications, @yining_shi led a Runway Characters Hackathon where attendees learned to build intelligent real-time video agents directly into their apps, products, games and services. All in a matter of hours. To start building for yourself, visit the Runway Developer portal at the link below for walkthroughs, video tutorials and pre-built applications.

Earlier this week, we brought nearly 700 leaders together in New York for @runwayml's inaugural AI Summit — and the energy in the room made one thing clear: the creative industry is at an inflection point. Across media, entertainment, gaming, advertising, and legal, two themes emerged consistently: Taste and transparency matter as much as capability. And the companies that will lead tomorrow are the ones embracing AI today. -Kathleen Kennedy of @Lucasfilm reminded us that taste is fundamental to the art of filmmaking — and that AI, in the right hands, will help us tell even better stories. -@HElsakr19489 (@Adobe) and @philwiser (@paramountco) shared how their organizations are navigating AI adoption honestly — leaning into the possibilities while being clear-eyed about the realities. -Creative principals at UNVEIL Studio and @Silverside_AI pushed this further: for them, AI isn't just a tool. It is the medium. -Christopher Harrelson of Why Brands shared a striking data point: designers using Runway have seen a 5x efficiency gain — enabling more work, faster iteration, and higher-quality outputs. Runway's own @theeddylee grounded it all in a sobering reality: only 10% of US businesses use AI in production, and 55% of corporate communications are still text-only, even as video drives 70% of internet traffic. The gap between where most companies are and where they need to be is wide. Can't wait to see what our next summit (un)covers!
