AI-app dev building https://subtxt.app from the ground-up because I love great stories. Steering https://narrativefirst.com. Guiding Narrative Context Protocol (NCP).
- Reposted by Jim HullMuse has officially lost its mind with today's story starter. 🤣 "Puberty was awkward enough before dodgeball came with an STD twist." Zoe Martinez has finally found the perfect escape hatch from social obscurity: a wildly inappropriate, ridiculously elaborate sex-ed obstacle course
- The “Hotel Reverie” episode is literally exactly what we’ve been working on the past six months. Just without the Stack Overflow Errors! 🤣
- 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
- Sudowrite couldn’t even come up with a different name. 🤣🤣🤣
- Spoiler: It's all in your head! 😆
- Is GPT-4.5 real—or is it just great storytelling? 🤖✨ Turns out, structured chaos is the heart of both AI and narrative. Here's how GPT-4.5 is quietly making stories even better in Subtxt: narrativefirst.com/blog/gpt-4-5...
- Subtxt: not so great at avoiding spoilers! 😅
- Furthering the science of storytelling. 🤓
- It would be so cool if there was a way for an interactive fiction to refuse to progress until the players adapted and transformed their actions to sync with the underlying thematic construct. 😊
- I knew 2025 was going to be full of advancements, but didn’t expect this.
- loving how everyone's head is in the same place. 😊
- This was so cool to see play out, especially since Muse predicted the Storyform we all ended up landing on in the end.
- We're live! (recording avail. later)
- The group analysis of "Cent'Anni" - the 4th episode of "The Penguin" series is now live - feel free to join in and hear us debate some of the underlying thematic issues. us02web.zoom.us/j/81566870632
- how the heck was I able to function without DeepResearch before?!
- 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.
- 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
- When you have to spend the weekend re-working all the copy surrounding o1 and "slow" deliberate thinking. The whole slow thing doesn't really apply to o3-mini. 🏎️💨
- Absolutely shell-shocked. What started out to be kind of a bummer start towards integrating o3-mini into Subtxt just took a massive turn as I discovered the vibe between Focus and Flow and beating out an entire 28 sequence screenplay—all in chat—in about an hour. Blog post on the way.
- o3-mini in the Assistants API?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! openai.com/index/openai...
- o3-mini would be a great way to start the weekend.
- Today’s an E.T. Soundtrack kind of day ☀️🛸🚴♀️
- A story is not a collection of conflicts. It's not a bundle of issues, problems, or dramatic situations. It's the exploration of one single inequity--spread across every character, theme, and structural element.
- Muse just starts proactively drawing images to help explain narrative structure to users, something I’ve never seen before—but am highly encouraged by. The image is even an accurate representation of the narrative model.
- 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.
- 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...
- Stargate’s half a trillion dollars means faster analysis, deeper insights—and maybe, just maybe, a step closer to actual emergent story fields. At least, that’s what I’m thinking. 🤔
- 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. 😊
- Reposted by Jim HullAGI/ASI will always do a better job of writing. But AI doesn't know what makes your story meaningful--you do. That's why Subtxt isn't just another story structure tool. It's a narrative intelligence system that helps you define, refine, and shape the creative intent behind your story.
- The writer of Taxi Driver. Imagine if he had access to Subtxt. ☺️
- 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
- For decades, I taught narrative structure--how stories work, how conflict drives meaning, how form shapes impact. But now? That's not the hard part anymore. AI is getting really good at writing. Coherent, structured, polished. It's not just generating words--it's executing stories.
- Really excited about the new blending of Throughlines in Subtxt. Kind of annoyed me how similar they were in the new Story Starters page, so I reworked the algos to reflect more of the Storyform in its blending. Go to Four Throughlines in the app, and resurface to see the difference.
