Today I’m speaking with Danny Perry — founder of Plugin Play — historically a plugin development company and just recently expanding to be a new marketplace for motion and video pros. We spoke about how AI development has evolved in his organization, comparing dev and motion and the need for similar support and agentic power. We also discussed what it would take to get motion to this point, AI in products, and the future of Plugin Play and bringing a new marketplace of tools to the community.
By the time this podcast goes out, Danny will have launched the new chapter for Plugin Play, and I’m really excited to see where it leads.
