Funniest thing I’ve seen all year. And now I know “Marty Supreme” comes out Christmas morning. 😄 SCHWAPP! youtu.be/wakBARkxqls?...

Been so busy, forgot to pass this along. We updated our project to be more in line with other initiatives across the AI landscape. UNM is now NCP: Narrative Context Protocol. Describes what we’re doing more succinctly. narrativefirst.com/blog/introdu...
No idea how I got here, but I'm super proud to open up the intelligence behind Subtxt to anyone at the conflux of AI, storytelling, and fun. 🤩
Just cracked open eight years of storytelling genius—Subtxt API is LIVE. Go build the next big thing, or just blow minds. Your call. narrativefirst.com/blog/introdu...
Here’s a fun white paper to read. Especially if you’re into authors, AI, and storytelling. 🤗 arxiv.org/pdf/2503.04844
This was so cool to see play out, especially since Muse predicted the Storyform we all ended up landing on in the end.
The storyform for The Penguin, Season 1 Episode 4 "Cent'Anni" is now in Subtxt. Wonderful how the title of the episode fit so perfectly into the Obstacle Character thematic Issue of Destiny.
This was really fun to see play out -- didn't even know this was a thing that was possible!
We uploaded *Didi*’s Storyform into Subtxt, asked Muse to describe the film based on structure alone, and it nailed it—before even knowing the plot. Then, once the synopsis was added, it refined everything even further. Full breakdown here: narrativefirst.com/blog/explori...
DeepResearch + Subtxt Storyform is all you need when it comes to matching artist's intent with the underlying narrative structure of a film.
We also did this for "Conclave" over the weekend - and look forward to adding more and more to make Subtxt the absolute best place to learn about narrative theory and structure!
Have to say, I'm totally aligned with this: "There is a great deal of talent right now without the resources to fully express itself, and if we change that, the resulting creative output of the world will lead to tremendous benefits for us all." blog.samaltman.com/three-observ...
Always fun waking up in the morning to see what Muse came up with overnight (self-generated story-starters). 😄 Genuinely love seeing what it came up with while sleeping. subtxt.app/story-starters
This is a wonderful read. Ethan Mollick set Deep Research out with the task of unraveling the evolution of TTRPGs--and completely unravels my concept of the internet, AGI, and the potential that lies before us. t.co/h9VZobnS59
o3-mini in the Assistants API?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! openai.com/index/openai...
Pretty much everyone assumes that Subtxt’s inability to build a story is a problem with Subtxt. 9.999 times out of 10, it’s a problem with the story.
Ever feel like Subtxt won’t let you start fresh with a blank Storyform? That frustration is actually teaching you something crucial—conflict has to be functional.
Since Subtxt is just a web-app, you could ask Operator to fill in all the boxes in the Develop Workspace and ping you when it’s done. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSE7...
Operator demo today at 10am. Looking forward to getting massively inspired!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSE7...
For years, I helped writers figure out how to tell a great story. Now the game has shifted: it's about showing AI how to tell your great story. And it’s unbelievably fun. 😊
Not every story needs a hero’s transformation. Sometimes, the most powerful tales are about characters doubling down on who they already are. Think Chinatown or Amadeus—stories that resonate because of the tension between opposing perspectives, not a tidy personal epiphany.

Not sure how I'm supposed to stay focused on building Subtxt when Muse sets up this Story Starter overnight. I'd love to see how this one turns out! subtxt.app/story-starters
