about start·a·story

Still prompting AI to create content like a caveman? Welcome to the future, where AI prompts you to extract the content locked away in your brain.

If you've ever sat staring at a blank page, knowing exactly what you want to say but getting trapped by grammar, semantics, and that nagging voice that says "this doesn't sound quite right," you're not alone. Blake discovered this frustration firsthand when trying to write an "About Us" page for his SaaS project.

"I know everything about my SaaS, I developed it - I could actually talk all day about it if someone was asking me about it," Blake explains. "My brain gets stuck on the small stuff instead of just allowing the knowledge to flow."

Sound familiar?

This moment of frustration sparked something bigger. Blake realised he had the knowledge - he just needed a way to extract what was relevant. That's when the idea for Start a Story was born, flipping the script on traditional AI content creation.

The Problem Every Content Creator Faces

Most solopreneurs and content creators are experts in their field. They could talk for hours about their products, services, or expertise. But when it comes to writing that knowledge down? Suddenly, the words won't come. Grammar becomes a roadblock. Structure feels impossible. The cursor blinks mockingly on an empty page.

"We are all super busy, we know we should create content, the content is locked away in our brains," Blake notes. "Start a Story is intended to break down those barriers and just let the knowledge flow. No need to worry about the small stuff, spelling, grammar, semantics."

A Revolutionary Approach

Start a Story doesn't work like other AI writing tools. Instead of prompting AI to write something generic, it prompts YOU to share what you already know. Through dynamic context harvesting, the platform's interviewer agent engages with you in a familiar chat interface, starting with open-ended questions and digging deeper until it has enough context to work with.

"The interviewer starts with more generic, open-ended questions, reflects on each response, then continues to 'investigate' until it has gathered enough context," Blake explains. The process feels natural - like having a conversation with someone genuinely interested in your expertise.

From Brain to Brilliance

Once the interview concludes, Start a Story's sophisticated agent system gets to work. Multiple agents analyse your responses alongside your project settings - your key message, tone of voice, target audience, and call to action. They then propose 2-3 distinctly different "story angles" for your content.

For Blake's original SaaS project, the system proposed "The Unconventional Economist Turned Tech Founder" (a personal founder's story) and "Changing the Game for Under-Served Mobile Businesses" (a customer-centric approach). Blake chose elements from both, creating a refined angle that perfectly captured his vision.

Then comes the magic: the expert copywriting agent takes all your context, your chosen angle, and your project requirements to craft polished, professional content. Other agents check the work along the way, ensuring quality and consistency with your voice.

Real Impact, Real Results

The "About Us" page Blake created was "exceptionally good" - so good that he paused his SaaS development to focus on Start a Story full-time. That's the power of extracting knowledge that's already in your head rather than trying to create something from scratch.

For freelancers and agencies, the platform transforms client collaboration. Instead of writing about a client's business and hoping you got it right, you can send them an interview link. They complete it in their own words, then you orchestrate the final content with their authentic voice and expertise.

Your Knowledge, Unlocked

Every solopreneur and content creator has a goldmine of knowledge locked away in their brain. You know your industry inside and out. You understand your customers' pain points. You have stories, insights, and expertise that could transform your content marketing - if only you could get it out of your head and onto the page.

Start a Story is designed for busy creators who need to produce quality content without getting bogged down in the technical details of writing. It's for experts who know their stuff but struggle with articulation. It's for anyone who's ever thought, "I could explain this perfectly if someone just asked me the right questions."

As Blake discovered, sometimes the most profound innovations come from solving our own challenges. Your next compelling piece of content might just be hidden within you, waiting to be unlocked.
