What it does
Starts with nine discovery questions, then offers story shapes (problem to proof, cold open in the product, one hero flow, before/after, a day with it, idea first, teaser, first-person demo, what we shipped, character gets a power) and hook types, plus named looks (Clean Launch, Kinetic Type, Bento Product, Data Story and more) with a 6 s sample before the full build. Screens are rebuilt in React from Playwright captures with fictional data; voiceover is generated per line with word timings and the best take picked by transcript; cuts snap to measured music beats. A frame-pinned review page collects notes; the master is -14 LUFS with a cover as frame 0.
