Storytime

A local-first, AI-powered dynamic storytelling platform built in C# / WinForms. Storytime uses a graph database to model narratives as a hierarchy of nodes, driven by a chain of specialized AI agents — each responsible for one layer of production.

Agent Hierarchy

Agent	Responsibility
Development Manager	Creates and organizes Projects
Story Writer	Writes Stories within a Project
Scene Writer	Breaks Stories into Scenes
Director	Produces a CallSheet per Scene
Set	Produces a Performance from a CallSheet
Observer	Produces a Deliverable from a Performance
