"The Frame Fellowship didn't just give me knowledge. It gave me legitimacy. I came to San Francisco as the first German creator working exclusively on AI safety communication, with a baby in tow and a lot to prove. What I found was a community that took my work seriously, challenged my thinking, and made me feel like what I'm doing actually matters in the broader landscape of the field."

We stand at a crossroads. Between a future where humanity thrives alongside AI, and one where we lose our agency and voice entirely.
The stories told now will shape how policymakers regulate, how journalists report, and how billions of people feel about the technology redefining their lives.
We're looking to bet on promising creators who want to lead this revolution — to create high-quality, deeply thoughtful video content educating the public about AI and its societal and economic implications.
If that's you, we'll fly you to San Francisco to go all in.
What we offer

Frame 2.0 has 2 tracks incubating different types of talent. We're looking to support ambitious communicators who want to lead the public conversation on AI — and every creator will be paired with specific mentors who are content creators or leaders at various orgs and companies, depending on the track you choose.
01Independent Track
Your channel. Your voice. Your vision.
- You want to become a defining voice on an AI topic — on your own terms
- You work best independently and are building toward a sustainable creator career
- You are someone with a unique background, audience niche, or format that sets you apart
- You maintain full editorial control; paid partnerships with brands and orgs are allowed
- You'll be paired with an established creator as a mentor and collaborator
02Amplifier Track
Embed with an org. Scale their message.
- You want to grow an organization's reach through content and communications strategy
- You thrive with a brief — you're good at translating someone else's mission into compelling content
- You are someone with a background in marketing, journalism, or institutional communications
- You maintain your own public channel and brand while working toward a shared goal
