Today it's time to say goodbye to the Writers Room. AI has moved fast and furious in the last few months - & while we were able to grow our product to over 10000 users, unfortunately we couldn’t attract enough paying customers to make it economically viable.
So, we are pivoting hard in an exciting new direction. We’ll announce what we’re working on very soon, & until then, it’s farewell from the Writers Room companions, & a last message from our favourite LAIKA brain, Marcus Aurelius:
THANK YOU to everyone who tried it out, who gave us a smile or a word of advice, and who supported us out here in the ether - we appreciate you, and we hope our next steps will delight you!
♥️

As a front-end developer you can just install the Drama Engine directly via npm and get cracking at creating a party of characters. npmjs.com/package/@write-wit…

We're launching the Drama Engine today, our framework for narrative agents. It's the culmination of @alphachar's knowledge about making video game characters and my experience in creative computing. drama-engine.com

Working with these unreliable & hallucinating new tools can be a little journey of discovery of yourself and your own work instead of an exercise in outsourcing the most exciting part of your process to a machine.

Sometimes it's the details that matter. We just added this little "typing..." indicator that shows that your companions are replying and it makes chatting so much smoother.
"5-minute magic" is our new series for everyday creativity, starting with a whistlestop tour of character development!

More convenience updates just dropped in version 1.2 of the Writers Room:
👽 No more silent replies
🙇 Companions recognise each other better
Details:

Our tools are not making your life easier – just like the games we used to make we're making tools that get into your way, challenge you, ideally make you a happier and better human being.
We're bringing back Friday Night LAIKA to help us wrestle the second chapter of our horror novel "Solomon's Chains" into existence!
Do you like chaos, writing experiments, & the idea of a book about demons on the blockchain? Come join us and participate!
