How it works

From your story to
your first payout.

01

Sign up — free, anonymous if you want

Email or Google. Pick an alias if you don't want your real name attached. We never require government ID and we never share your identity without your permission.

02

Talk to the AI interviewer

Our AI is trained as a documentary producer, not a chatbot. It asks specific questions about who, when, where, the moves, the money, the consequences. You answer like you're telling a story to a friend. The full conversation auto-saves — close the tab and come back any time.

03

Hit 'I'm done telling it'

The AI compiles your story into three things: a narrative treatment, a 5–10 minute narrator script, and a thumbnail concept. You can read it all before you submit.

04

We review

A human (right now, the founder) reviews every submission. Most decisions in 48 hours. We may ask for more detail, or pass if the story isn't a fit.

05

We produce the episode

We voice it, edit the b-roll, design the thumbnail, and post to the YouTube channel. We handle 100% of the production cost.

06

You get paid

You see your episode's earnings live in your dashboard every month. Payouts via Stripe or PayPal once you cross $50.

These percentages are floor numbers. Standout stories may get a higher share — negotiated before publication.

Will my real name be attached?

No — not unless you opt in. Default is anonymous with whatever alias you choose. Even internally, we only need an email so we can pay you.

What if I'm telling something I could still get in trouble for?

Don't. Use aliases, change locations, change dates. Treat it like a movie — the lessons are real, the identifying details don't have to be. The AI will remind you of this if it gets concerned.

Do you make the video with AI?

The script and narrative come out of AI. The voiceover and final video are produced by a human editor. AI-generated voice slop is what gets channels demonetized — we're not doing that.

What if you reject my story?

We'll tell you why, and you keep all rights to it. We never charge for submissions.

When do you pay?

Monthly, once your balance crosses $50. You pick Stripe or PayPal in your dashboard.
