Can machines work alongside humans to improve the storytelling process? We’ll share how an AI-powered analysis can help storytellers visualize and understand their stories — including character network, personality traits, emotional valence, and whether or not you’ve got a dynamic protagonist leaping from the pages. StoryFit identifies features applicable to all stages of book development, from acquisitions to marketing, and we’ll provide real-life examples to support your publishing decisions.
