Actor · Writer · Director · Comic-book creator
For twenty years I've lived in the gap between a vision and the work it takes to make it real. On stage, on set, and on the page. At acting school I was taught something that's stuck with me ever since: you take care of structure, and content will take care of itself.
Every story is a system.
I know what storytellers need, because I am one. And I've spent two decades watching good stories get buried, not for lack of ideas, but because the thousands of interdependent components (plotlines, characters, locations, arcs) you need to build to bring any story to life can be overwhelming.
Recently AI has heralded an age of creative necromancy; we can animate our creations instantaneously, but generative AI art isn't really alive. It feels slightly off. Slightly undead.
The problem isn't AI. The problem is we're trying to turn the thousands of small-but-vital acts of inspiration that go into telling a story into a monolithic act of creation. It's the same problem that human storytellers have struggled with forever: a vision lacking the discipline and craft to breathe life into it at an atomic level.
The solution is AI. Deployed differently. Instead of asking AI to execute our creative visions for us, we need an AI platform that helps us build structure. We need to employ Curative AI upstream instead of Generative AI downstream.
So I'm building exactly that.
Not a story.
A storytelling platform.
This is bigger than I thought.
While building, I discovered the wall storytellers keep hitting isn't ours alone. As any vision grows (a story, a company, a campaign), it drifts. And the larger it gets, the harder it is to keep everyone, and now also every AI agent, telling the same story.
The tool I built to solve it for myself turns out to solve it for anyone. That tool is Yggdrasil, the World Tree in Norse mythology: AI at the root of a project, keeping every tool, teammate, and model coherent as the project grows.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to talk. About Yggdrasil, or just about keeping creativity human.
One root, many worlds.
Keep creativity human.
