How evals drive the next chapter in AI for businesses This primer teaches business leaders how evaluation frameworks (“evals”) turn business objectives into consistent results.

Why we run evals like crazy through Dramatica constantly:

“In a world where information is freely available across the world and expertise is democratized, your advantage hinges on how well your systems can execute inside your context.”

Works really well. Just tried it out yesterday.

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

That’s only part of it. Much of what you love from the original Dramatica app UX will be part of the new platform as well—just need to port it over.

Also there are some people who have trouble expressing themselves through writing. AI gives them the tools they didn’t have before. Most 3D animators can’t draw to save their lives—us 2D anims thought that would be the “moat” — it wasn’t! (Thankfully btw).

As a former animator for both Disney and Dreamworks who went through the transition from hand-drawn to CGI, I can tell you it’s 100% the person behind the machine. 3D animators eventually got so good that there was stuff they could do that 2D couldn’t even dream of. Their CGI outperformed us 2D…

But what are you going to do when you’re not going to be able to tell?

I started to build what is now Subtxt/Dramatica and Narrova back in 2017–but I’ve never seen such a huge upsurge in interest before, and so many emails from writers who LOVE the new version. I think I finally got it. 😃

Absolutely loved One Day.

Asked in another thread but have to know…this vs. Reverb/wss???

23.05.2025 16:15 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

Wondering: we used to do the echo buffer flush thing when streaming OpenAI responses, but recently switched over to Reverb and websockets to more intuitively capture all the events and send them to frontend. Works great—but is this approach somehow better?

Muse 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! 🤣

The amount of completeness varies by author. Ideally you want to tend toward complete to avoid what are commonly known as “story holes.”

There’s a huge initiative involving USC and others called Narrative Context Protocol which addresses all of this. Dramatica plays a key role.

I think you might find even more love for this application very soon. 😊

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.

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. 🤩

I absolutely love this quote. And I assume you’re referring to the new “creative writing” model from yesterday. You might have me blocked on sight because I developed an app for narrative structure that now has AI but I guarantee you there are many working behind the scenes for authors.

Here’s a fun white paper to read. Especially if you’re into authors, AI, and storytelling. 🤗 arxiv.org/pdf/2503.04844

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.

More excited to have unified model (and through API), but this is good too!

This was so cool to see play out, especially since Muse predicted the Storyform we all ended up landing on in the end.
