Story Arc Engine ✍️
A narrative building experiment on Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite.
Deconstruct stories through the lens of the 5-part narrative arc ◦ Tweak any part to see how a plot change trickles down and affects the story ◦ Generate new narratives from your own plot idea.
This experiment may have been triggered by an urge to try writing science fiction shorts 🙃Try it here: ai.studio/apps/drive/1C3…
I initially made it so that I can learn from studying the bones of the stories I know and love. I populated the dropdown with a few but you can enter your own title. If it's too niche, it helps to mention the author or director.
The best bit is being able to play out 'What if's.
Tweak any part of the arc (by manually editing or hitting the randomize icon) and see a whole new ending unfold. Gemini rewrites the parts that follow to show you how your plot change ripples through the rest of the story.
You can also start with your own idea for a story. Gemini expands on it by filling out the 5 narrative arc buckets. Pretty neat for a first draft! And then you can take it from there.
