Experience
Capture lived material
Story starts with something real: a place, a memory, an image, a clip or a voice note. This stage admits that material into the system as source — not as a finished film, and not as a random prompt.
You
Bring the lived material and mark what matters: where it happened, who it belongs to, and what should not be lost.
Engine
Ingests and structures the source so place, time and memory stay attached as you move downstream.
In
- Place or journey
- Memory or voice note
- Images or clips
Out

Human gateWhat enters the story system — and what stays out.
