Pocket Entertainment, the newly restructured parent company of Pocket FM and Pocket Novel, has launched Pocket Toons, an AI-driven webcomics platform designed to revolutionize storytelling and content creation.

At the heart of this innovation is Blaze!, an AI-powered studio that accelerates content production by 20 times the industry standard while reducing costs to one-third. Blaze! automates key creative processes, including background rendering, scene composition, coloring, and quality control, enabling artists to focus on narrative depth and character development.

Rohan Nayak, Co-founder & CEO of Pocket Entertainment, emphasizing on the transformative role of AI in the entertainment landscape, said “The fusion of AI and human storytelling marks the beginning of a new creative era. Historically, every major evolution in entertainment—be it cinema, animation, or digital streaming—has been driven by technology. At Pocket Entertainment, we are harnessing AI to amplify human creativity—empowering artists to push the boundaries of storytelling without replacing their unique artistic expression. By integrating AI into the creative workflow, we are not just increasing efficiency—we are unlocking new possibilities for storytelling at an unprecedented scale. Our users on Pocket Toons are loving it, spending over 60 minutes daily. AI-powered comics aren’t the future—they’re happening now”

With Blaze!, Pocket Toons releases three episodes per day, a massive leap from the industry norm of one episode per week. Since its beta launch in January 2025, the platform has rapidly gained traction, hosting over 30 comic titles and boasting an impressive average user engagement of 60 minutes per day.

Shreyas Joshi, SVP of Pocket Toons, elaborated on AI’s impact on the comics industry: “The demand for high-quality, episodic content has never been higher. We are producing content 20x faster at a third of the cost, making high-quality comics more accessible than ever. Blaze! supercharges artists’ workflow while preserving creativity and originality, setting a new global benchmark for AI-powered storytelling. It amplifies the capabilities of artists, allowing them to produce more without sacrificing their originality or the quality of their work. Pocket Toons is not about replacing human creativity—it’s about enhancing it. As we look ahead, AI-driven platforms like ours will be instrumental in shaping the future of entertainment, bridging the gap between artistic ambition and scalable production.”

To fuel its expansion, Pocket Entertainment has committed $15 million in 2025 to scale Pocket Toons, aiming to achieve $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) by 2026.
