about the client

Doubleword serves open-source large-language-models (LLMs) to companies using them at scale.

The brief for this project was to make something so entertaining that any software engineer would watch to the end, even if the product wasn't an exact fit for them.

about the film

The goal was to target the common pain points of developers who use AI agents.

At the moment, AI tokens (the fuel for AI agents) are too expensive to allow developers to activate much of the technology's enormous potential.

Common headaches include live services breaking unexpectedly, having to downgrade the quality of services, and pushing back deadlines for new projects.

We figured that if we could make developers laugh and have them feel understood, they'd stick around to find out more about the product.

From there, the video turns to the three founders who explain the problem plaguing the industry (expensive tokens), what they've built, and why it helps.

God at his desk on a bank of cloud, head in his hands. A priest seen from behind, facing a full congregation in a cathedral. A dashboard panel, PRIESTS_US_EAST, marked halted: monthly token limit reached, God-tier. God, head in hand, lit by the dashboard on his monitor. A tearful woman and a young boy in a pew, looking up. Eyelashes in silhouette against a pale sky. Extreme close-up of a brown eye. Close-up of clasped hands resting on a knee. Overhead shot of a cathedral nave, a figure in the aisle between the pews. A rabbi in a fur hat raising a finger as men walk past. An imam raising a finger, seen past two shoulders. A brass desk nameplate: God, Senior Engineer. A figure in white robes at a desk above the clouds, seen from behind. A usage graph falling to zero beside the God-tier model, limit reached. A model menu, Expert, Pro and Junior, the cursor on Junior at twenty cents per million. A pulpit in an empty cathedral, a head just visible behind it. A chart headed 3.2x lower inference cost, comparing a monthly bill elsewhere with the same workload on Doubleword. The three founders at a table with laptops, in front of a bright painting. A founder in a grey t-shirt, seated in an empty meeting room. A founder in a navy jumper, seated in an empty meeting room. A founder in a tan jacket, hands open in a shrug.
