Storytelling

Storytelling Suite

Build a cast of characters, group their episodes into narrative arcs, then use the AI create wizard to generate episodes — text and video — that publish straight to the fan Feed. This is the heart of your channel: characters → arcs → episodes → fans.

Characters

Open Characters (/dashboard/characters) to manage your cast. Each character is the persona your episodes are built around. The page shows your existing characters as a grid; hit New character to add one.

Your cast at a glance — each card is a character you can reuse across episodes.

When you create a character (/dashboard/characters/new) you set:

  • Name — what fans (and the AI) call this character
  • Backstory — context the AI draws on when writing episodes
  • Personality — voice and traits that shape how they behave
  • Faction — UrbanNation or MAC, the two sides of the story world
  • Reference image (optional) — a visual anchor for the character
New character: name, backstory, personality, faction, and an optional reference image.
A richer backstory and personality give the AI more to work with — episodes come out more on-character.

Story Arcs

A Story Arc (/dashboard/story-arcs) groups a character's episodes into one continuous narrative. Create an arc, attach a character, and the episodes you make under it tell a connected story rather than standing alone.

Arcs organize a character's episodes into a single narrative thread.
An arc that already holds episodes can't be deleted. Move or remove its episodes first if you need to clear it.

Episodes & the review flow

Episodes (/dashboard/episodes) lists everything you've made, each tagged with a state badge. To make a new one, open the AI create wizard at /dashboard/create.

Every episode with its current state shown as a badge.
  1. 1

    Pick a character and arc

    Choose who the episode is about and which narrative arc it belongs to.
  2. 2

    Write a prompt and pick a style

    Describe what happens; the wizard uses your prompt plus the character's backstory and personality.
  3. 3

    Generate text + video

    The AI produces the episode script and a video to match — review it before sending for approval.
The create wizard: pick a character + arc, write a prompt, choose a style, and generate.

Every episode moves through a state machine, shown as a badge:

  • Draft — yours to edit; not visible to anyone else yet
  • In review — submitted; waiting on moderation
  • Approved — cleared by moderators, ready to publish
  • Published — live in the fan Feed
  • Rejected — sent back with a reason; fix it and resubmit
Episode detail shows the script, video, and current state.
Need to change something after it's live? You can take a published episode back down to edit, then send it through review again.

After publishing

Once an episode is published it appears in the fan Feed. From the Watch page fans can like, comment, and share, and the platform tracks likes, comments, shares, and views for you.

  • Published episodes surface in the For You and Trending feeds
  • The Watch page records likes, comments, shares, and views
  • Notifications deep-link straight to the relevant Watch page
