Use a reader when you can. Use Linus when you can’t. Your AI-powered scene partner, self tape tool, and line learning app—built by actors, ready when you are. Run lines, run scenes, learn lines and self tape anytime, anywhere. When pressure hits, Linus listens. You’ve run scenes in your trailer. Stayed late after rehearsals. Taped alone in hotel rooms, and whispered lines to yourself in the car and on the train. You’ve prepared for the callback or audition alone, desperate, because everyone said ‘sorry, I can’t, I’m busy’. Linus was made for these moments—the quiet, chaotic, last-minute ones where confidence matters and no one’s around. We’re actors who get it. We live your life. That’s why we built Linus: an AI line reader, teleprompter for actors, and rehearsal partner that listens for your cue, responds in flow, and holds space so you can do what you love and lead your scene. Whether you’re learning 8 pages the night before a callback, self taping at 1AM, or finding your flow on the go, Linus is built to support your process—not replace it. This is rehearsals, without pressure. Play, without panic. ------------ How to get the most out of Linus USE REAL ACTOR VOICES AND SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY Choose your scene partner by accent, tone, age or gender.
