The company's ecosystem includes AlphaNovel, a platform for authors to publish and distribute their work, and DramaShorts, a streaming app featuring video adaptations of AlphaNovel novels and original content. Storyby leverages AI to identify promising novels, adapt them into scripts, and optimize content for mobile viewing, providing a seamless entertainment experience for readers and viewers.
Target Audience
Storyby targets English-speaking women globally, particularly in the US, who enjoy reading novels and watching short, engaging video series on their mobile devices, as well as emerging authors seeking a platform to publish and monetize their work.
