From Luma AI to Solo Founder: The Future of AI Content w/ Kiri Margaros | Imagine AI Live | E133

Imagine AI Podcast

In this episode of the Imagine AI Live Podcast, host Chris Madden sits down with Kiri Margaros, solo founder of NoSpoon Studios and former Luma AI creator program lead. Kiri shares her journey from building in VR and Unity to managing 1,500 creators at Luma to launching her own AI-powered content creation platform—entirely solo. Kiri explains how NoSpoon leverages video models like Luma’s Ray 2 and Veo to generate fully autonomous video workflows—enabling creators to go from zero to full video with almost no input. She also dives into the philosophy behind the name "NoSpoon," the future of agents-as-employees, and how she stays cutting-edge using platforms like Replit and X. If you're a solo founder, AI creator, or just curious about what the future of content production looks like, this episode is packed with insights.
