This is the World is a media and technology house. We interview the minds shaping this century, put their stories on film, back the next generation of builders, and bring AI into everyday work.

Four rooms. One house.
Conversations with the greatest minds.
Nobel laureates, Turing Award winners and the people building AI, in long conversations that take their ideas seriously.

True stories, told at cinema scale.
Some conversations deserve more than an episode. The studio turns them into films and takes them around the world.
FIRST RELEASE · 2026
The Godmother of
Silicon Valley
The story of Esther Wojcicki, the Palo Alto teacher who raised a generation of founders and taught the world to trust young people. The film premiered to a sold out room at the Presidio Theatre in San Francisco in April 2026, and is now traveling the world. Six cities. Three continents. Every stop pairs the film with a workshop and a live conversation with Esther.
A film on a screen is powerful. Esther in a room is transformative.
The era of talent is here.
A small group of people, given the right support and AI tools, can build products that change the world. We find them early.
Bison Fellowship is our free eight week program for Poland's most driven young engineers, ages 18 to 26. Fifteen fellows work one on one with mentors from the world's best universities, build real systems for major partner companies, and ship them to production. The strongest teams fly to San Francisco for a ten day summer school in the heart of Silicon Valley.
The program council includes Esther Wojcicki, Rafał Brzoska of InPost, Przemysław Gacek of Grupa Pracuj, and Jolanta Kwaśniewska. Directed by Michał Wyrębkowski, chaired by Maciej Kawecki.
MENTORS FROM
Fellows build in machine learning, AI agents, cybersecurity and embedded systems, on real briefs from partners like Orlen, PKP Intercity, BLIK and Grupa Pracuj.
We build company brains.
The AI arm of the house. We take what we learn from the people inventing this technology and put it to work inside real companies.
Most companies run on email, spreadsheets and memory. Information lives everywhere and belongs to no one. We give it one home, then put it to work.
One live picture
Your orders, stock, money and mail live in different tools and different heads. We connect what you already use into one always current view of the business. Nothing gets retyped by hand again.
The morning brief
Leadership starts each day with a short brief written by the system overnight. What moved, what stalled, what needs a decision. No chasing, no digging through inboxes.
Ask the company anything
How much did we ship last week? Which client is slipping? Ask in plain words and get an answer in about a minute, with the numbers to back it up.
