MakeTalesMeet enhances story plots with human and AI editors
StartupRealities No 65
MakeTalesMeet is a professional editing and storytelling company which uses both human editors and artificial intelligence (AI) to fix plot discontinuities and enhance the storyline in articles, books, TV and movie plots.
PRODUCT VERSIONS
The free basic version is an automated algorithm that quizzes the writer with the aim of teasing out new ideas. Potentially interesting objects or characters in the story are identified by the AI and the writer gets asked questions about them, separately or in pairs of two: "What happened to the penguin and the stone? Could they be doing something else or something differently? Could the two be connected?" The basic version also identifies similar items or stories in the body of existing literature and movies and makes suggestions on creating possible references to these in the writer's plot, which leads to recursion.
The premium version of MakeTalesMeet involves human editors who review the suggestions of the AI and make more fine-tuned recommendations. The editor recommendations always give multiple options so that the author makes the ultimate decision and thus the copyright of the work is not diluted or put in doubt.
CEO QUOTE
"The algorithm of MakeTalesMeet uses a simple 'heads or tails' principle: if a penguin is supposed to do something in a story, could it be doing the opposite to achieve greater effect? If the penguin laid an egg, could it have stolen the egg instead? And which of the two versions would be more dramatic, yet realistic? That's what I call 'to make tail ends meet' but this binary choice is only for the author's attention; the readers only get one version of reality." - explained company founder and CEO Mei Taomei.
