About the pilot

A comedy about the stories startups tell.

Pixie Diaries follows a startup team riding the AI wave, spinning bold promises for customers and risking it all when a competitor’s technology becomes a little too tempting.

What began as a way to connect with technology customers became a scripted comedy about ambition, spin, customer pressure, competitor drama, and the strange emotional theater of modern work.

It is satire with a human center – funny, self-aware, slightly mystical, and uncomfortably familiar to anyone who has ever been trapped in a meeting where everyone pretends the demo is going fine.
