Pocket FM has announced a collaboration with OpenAI to deploy advanced AI tools across its content creation ecosystem, marking a significant step in the audio platform’s ambition to build an intelligent, creator-driven storytelling platform with global reach.

Through the collaboration, Pocket FM will integrate OpenAI’s APIs into multiple workstreams to accelerate its content creation and production infrastructure, which currently supports more than 300,000 creators worldwide. The integration is expected to strengthen the platform’s ability to streamline storytelling, improve production efficiency and expand the scale of creator-led audio content.

Pocket FM has been actively investing in AI-led innovation since 2023, when the company decided to rebuild its content creation stack around generative AI. Since then, the platform has witnessed rapid growth in AI-enabled storytelling formats. Today, Pocket FM hosts over 100,000 AI-native audio series, with AI-driven titles emerging as the fastest-growing segment on the platform, expanding at an average pace of around 30 percent month-on-month.

Commenting on the partnership, Prateek Dixit, Co-founder – Product, Tech and AI at Pocket FM, said the collaboration marks a major milestone in the company’s AI-first vision.

“At Pocket FM, AI is foundational to everything we do. Our collaboration with OpenAI takes our AI vision to a new level. By combining OpenAI’s APIs with our deep content infrastructure and creator ecosystem, we are building something the world has not seen before: an entertainment platform where a single creator in any corner of the world can produce, publish, and reach millions of listeners globally, with the quality and consistency of a full production studio. This is what the democratisation of storytelling truly looks like,” he said.

Echoing similar sentiments, Oliver Jay, Managing Director – International at OpenAI, said the partnership demonstrates how artificial intelligence can expand creative opportunities for storytellers while keeping human creativity at the centre.

“Pocket FM is demonstrating how AI can help creators scale storytelling for global audiences. Our collaboration brings OpenAI’s technology into their creator ecosystem to support faster content creation, localisation, and distribution. This is a compelling example of how AI can expand creative opportunity, while keeping human creativity at the core,” he noted.

The collaboration is also expected to strengthen Pocket FM’s global localisation efforts. With more than 12 billion minutes of monthly listening on the platform, the integration of OpenAI’s multilingual and translation capabilities will enable the company to bring more creator-led titles to international audiences in the coming months.

As the audio storytelling market continues to expand globally, Pocket FM’s move to deepen its AI infrastructure signals its broader ambition to build a scalable ecosystem where creators can produce, publish and distribute content to listeners worldwide with greater speed and accessibility.
