Interactive AI Story Games

Sell interactive AI stories that react to the reader, priced from a few dollars up.

In plain English

Readers can buy stories that react to their choices and remember what happened earlier in the tale. Starting costs a small price, and they can also buy credits or extra worlds, because a story that answers back feels closer to a game than to a book. The AI writes almost all of the story while they play, and it handles the payments. The person running the business still designs the worlds, blocks tales that copy characters they do not own or that are not appropriate, and shares clips of people playing. Fans can publish worlds of their own too.
