From AI videos to creating your own game: a talk by TRITON IT at the faculty’s primary school

How is artificial intelligence used in video production? What are MCP servers and how do they help developers? And what if you could control a character in your own computer game using a standard text chat?

It was precisely these issues that we addressed during today’s visit to the Prof. Otokar Chlup Faculty Primary School in Nové Butovice, Prague. Marek Rost and Antonín Pulkrab from TRITON IT accepted an invitation from local teachers and, as part of a themed week focusing on technology and artificial intelligence, organised a talk for the pupils based on specific real-life examples.

How artificial intelligence is changing video production

The first part of the discussion was led by Antonín Pulkrab, who, amongst other things, works in video production at TRITON IT and has experience in filming, editing and the use of AI in the creation of audiovisual content.

He showed the pupils specific videos created for our clients and explained the role that current artificial intelligence tools play in their creation. Using individual examples, he illustrated how the processes involved in producing video content are changing and which parts of the creative process can now be carried out in new ways thanks to AI.

It was important to place the individual tools within the context of the actual work. After all, artificial intelligence is not separate from the rest of the production process. It is one of the technologies that a creator must be able to work with in order to achieve the desired result.

The demonstrations sparked a number of questions. The pupils were interested both in Antonín’s experiences from his own work and in more general questions concerning the possibilities and limitations of artificial intelligence. It was precisely this direct discussion with someone who uses these technologies on real-world projects that enabled them to look beyond the scope of standard online demonstrations.

MCP servers and AI in software development

Marek Rost followed on from the video presentation, focusing on the technical aspects of using artificial intelligence. He introduced the concept of MCP servers and explained how language models can use this standard to communicate with external tools, data and other systems.

Rather than simply answering questions or generating text, AI can thus be integrated into broader workflows. For example, it can retrieve information from available sources, work with connected tools, or form part of an automated process. It is precisely the integration of large language models with other systems that is one of the areas we focus on at TRITON IT when developing both internal tools and solutions for our clients.

Marek used practical examples to demonstrate how these principles relate to developers’ day-to-day work and how we incorporate AI into our own projects. The pupils thus gained an insight not only into what artificial intelligence is capable of, but also into the technical underpinnings that enable its use in more complex applications.

A game created in two days, in which the characters are controlled by AI

The most practical part of the session came at the end. Over the course of two days, Marek Rost created a game for the pupils, inspired by the principles of the well-known title Agar.io, which you can play directly on the Cell Agents website. In it, players can compete against one another whilst controlling their characters via artificial intelligence. 

The controls do not require any complex commands or a special interface. The player enters instructions via a simple text chat, and the AI translates these into actions performed by the game character. This allowed the pupils to experience first-hand how natural language can be used to control software.

The game brought together several topics that were discussed during the talk: programming, application design, working with a language model, and integrating it into a specific environment. At the same time, it demonstrated that even a relatively complex idea can be turned into a working prototype in a short space of time using modern tools.

But that wasn’t the end of the project. Marek also made the source code available to the pupils in a GitHub repository. They can study it, customise the game to their own liking, expand its functionality, or run it on their own server. The game can thus serve as a starting point for their own experiments with programming and artificial intelligence.

Why we share our practical experience with schools

The subject week at the Prof. Otokar Chlup Faculty Primary School demonstrates how modern technologies can be brought to life for pupils through specific projects. Instead of merely being told about the possibilities of artificial intelligence, they had the chance to see real-world applications, ask experts about their experiences and try interacting with the software themselves.

We visited the school at the invitation of the teachers, who are organising a programme for the pupils focusing on technology and its practical applications. We were delighted to be part of this initiative and to devote our time to sharing the experiences we regularly encounter whilst working on both client and in-house projects.

At TRITON IT, we have long been committed to the use of artificial intelligence, automation and the development of technological solutions. We therefore believe it is beneficial to share our experience beyond the commercial sphere and to help young people gain a clearer understanding of how current technologies work and what they can create with them themselves.

We would like to thank the teachers at the Prof. Otokar Chlup Faculty Primary School for inviting us and giving us the opportunity to take part in their subject week. We believe that combining school education with practical experience in technology can open up new opportunities for pupils and motivate them to undertake their own projects.
