22 AI Agents Made a 3-Min Microsoft Documentary From One Prompt in 5 Hours
imdigitalashish · x · 2026-09-25
A 3-minute short film covering Microsoft's 51-year history was researched, written, and edited entirely by AI agents inside GitHub Copilot, starting from a single kickoff prompt.
The engineering details are notable: 22 agents and 120 sub-agents worked for about 5 hours, consuming 2.35B tokens, with 97.2% cache reads keeping actual costs down. None of the agents ever heard the music during production.
