Universes

What Universes Does
From raw material to development-ready reference.
Source Material Ingestion
Upload novels, articles, scripts, research documents, or any narrative source material. Universes reads, indexes, and structures it for development use.

Structured Output
Characters, locations, themes, timeline, world rules — automatically extracted and organized into a development-ready reference.

Adaptation Starting Points
Universes doesn't just organize — it identifies adaptation angles. Which character makes the strongest protagonist for screen? What works as a pilot vs. a feature? Where does the story need expansion?
ADAPTATION NOTES FEATURE FILM ANGLE ▸ Elena's arc is self-contained and cinematic ▸ Compress timeline from 6 months to 6 weeks ▸ The garden's visual potential is the selling point TV SERIES ANGLE ▸ Supporting cast supports episodic structure ▸ Each garden "room" could anchor an episode ▸ Season arc: Elena uncovers garden's true nature
Use Cases
At every stage of development.
For IP Evaluation
Quickly assess whether source material has adaptation potential. Understand character depth, structural complexity, and format fit before committing development resources.
For Active Development
Use Universe as your living reference document. As you develop the adaptation, the Universe updates with your decisions — which characters you're foregrounding, which subplots you're cutting.
How It Connects
Universes feed into Story Notes.
Build a Universe from your source material, then generate Story Notes on your adaptation draft — with the source context built in.
