COME ON
THE SHOW

Be part of writing it. Bring your product to become a star on the show.

Co-created live with brand marketers, comedians, and the audience. Your brief walks in. Your character walks out.

Brand Marketers
Bring a real brief from the Wonderland Writers Room. Your product gets a personality, a storyline, and a fan community. Not a sponsorship slot — a character arc. The appliances respond. The audience commits.
Comedians & Creators
Come on the show. Write a character. Help break an episode. Guest voices, improv energy, and unscripted moments that become the best parts of the season. Your ideas go into the room. The appliances go rogue.
The Audience
Action Signal community shapes what happens next. You're not watching. You're writing. Fan votes. Character clans. When enough people rally behind a character — that character gets a bigger role in the story.
// THE PLAY ECONOMY CONCEPT
THE AUDIENCE
IS THE SHOW

The most compelling experiences of the AI era aren't ones you watch — they're ones you participate in. Your vote changes what the appliances do next. The story isn't pre-written.

Live Event Product
The Character Workshop

A few hours. Your product walks in as a brief and walks out as a character — personality, hook, and a live audience. The results become part of the show.

THE STORY
WORLD

Pick your appliance, follow their arc, and help shape what happens next. The more fans a character gets, the bigger their role. Nobody is fine. These are your characters.

Follow Your Character
Pick the appliance that speaks to you. Each one has a story arc that runs through the full series — their relationships, rivalries, and crises compound episode by episode. Follow the story. Build the community.
Shape the Story
This isn't passive watching. Audience votes influence what happens in the next episode. Fan clans push characters forward. When enough people want something to happen in the kitchen — it happens.
The World Expands
New appliances, new rooms, new crises. The story world grows with the audience. Season 2 goes places Season 1 couldn't imagine. What gets added depends entirely on who shows up.

HOW WE
MAKE IT

Clankers is an AI-produced micro-comedy built by a human-Machine hybrid creator. No writers room budget. No studio. No staff — just Michael Ronen, a suite of AI tools, and fifty appliances with very strong opinions about counter space.

// THE CREATOR PROCESS

BUILDING THE
CHARACTER BIBLE

Every character in Clankers starts with a reference sheet — a photographic and behavioral bible that the AI models are trained against. Expression references, color palettes, fabric details, voice range notes. Before the AI generates a single frame, the character exists as a complete document.

This is the production method: define the character completely in document form, then hand it to the AI. Michael's own reference is built the same way — the human inside the machine, defined on paper so the AI can hold him consistent across every episode.

The human and the appliances are built the same way. Same process. Same discipline. That's the point.
