## Summary

A founder says they built a Pi agent that autonomously runs their Cinematic Movie Pipeline, pulling upstream output and moving through planning, prompts, pilot clips, and review. The agent pauses at each phase for approval and lets the user adjust before continuing. The founder also built a custom UI for choosing which model to use at each stage.

Hlo ppl 😉
Just built a Pi agent that runs my entire Cinematic Movie Pipeline autonomously.

It pulls the output from the Upstream pipeline, then walks through every phase one by one — planning, prompts, pilot clips, review, etc. At each step it pauses, asks for approval, and lets me adjust anything on the fly before continuing.

Also built a custom UI so I can plug in whatever model I want to use for different stages.

Basically Claude Code, but specifically for running a cinematic pipeline properly instead of fighting with it.
