The Bridge Between
Story & Technology

Peter Isaza

From Bogota to Seattle, From Camera to Code

I'm Peter Isaza, a video director who discovered that the same instincts that make a great story also make a great AI system: understanding what people need, breaking complexity into simple steps, and knowing when to guide and when to get out of the way.

Originally from Bogota, Colombia, I've spent 15+ years in Seattle crafting human-centered narratives for nonprofits, brands, and organizations. I've won Telly Awards, raised millions for causes I believe in, and helped countless stories find their audience.

Then I discovered AI. Not as a replacement for creativity, but as an amplifier. I taught myself Python, Docker, and LangGraph—not to become a traditional developer, but to build tools that help storytellers focus on what matters: the story itself.

Today, I build production AI agents that automate the tedious parts of creative work while keeping humans in control of the art.

What I Believe

AI Amplifies, Not Replaces

The best AI tools handle the tedious work so humans can focus on the creative decisions that actually matter. Every agent I build keeps humans in the loop.

Story Transports

Based on the my storytelling methodology: "Guide the heart to move the mind." Good stories don't lecture—they let the audience be a witness to transformation.

Domain Expertise + AI = Magic

I'm not a traditional developer. I'm a storyteller who learned to code. That perspective lets me build AI tools that actually solve creative problems.

Ship It

All my agents run in production, 24/7. I believe in building things that work, not just prototypes. If it doesn't ship, it doesn't count.
