Generative AI storytelling platform MidReal has officially launched its flagship “choose your own adventure” product. Powered by its latest Morpheus-1 model, the tool allows players to generate stories that evolve as they make decisions. Instead of passively consuming media, MidReal puts gamers, readers, tv and movie buffs, and more in control to shape the narrative.

Founded in October 2023 with researchers from MIT, Cornell and Duke at its disposal, MidReal is blurring the lines between text adventures and games. The San Francisco-based company has seven full-time and five part-time employees to push the potential of the medium.

In addition to story generation, MidReal has more features to boost immersion and keep users engaged. These include generated illustrations with consistent characters and the ability to remix public stories.

“In the world of AI driven narrative and storytelling, readability and believability is of paramount concern and that desire to give creatives the most state-of-the-art tools available is what drove us to create MidReal and its latest AI module ‘Morpheus-1,’” said Kaijie Chen, cofounder and CEO at MidReal. “With its official launch today we’re looking forward to the countless stories that are just waiting to be told to the world.”

“To do this, we drew inspiration from Shunyu Yao’s work on Tree of Thoughts, which organizes the general problem-solving process into a tree structure. We discovered that the process of story writing is much like constructing a problem-solving tree. In story writing, the user’s input scenario serves as the root of the tree, while subsequent possibilities of plot development serve as the leaf nodes of the tree, spanning into different d …
