Talia is a platform for AI-powered interactive content, where the story chooses you back. Watch interactive films and stories, tap to make choices that shape what happens, and discover branches you didn't know you could reach. From 30-second mood pieces to multi-chapter dramas, every piece unfolds differently depending on what you tap, when you pause, and where you look — because it's directed by independent creators who design their own branching worlds. Capture and share your own short films right from the app. Apply six retro-cinematic filters to your photos, keep them in your private library, or post to the For You feed for the Talia community. WHAT YOU GET • Tap-to-branch interactive stories, with multiple endings and hidden routes • Frame-region tap moments — tap a door, a glass, a hand, and the story responds • Auto-advance scenes that flow like real film, no buttons to click • In-app camera with photo and video capture + six filters • A personal library and a public For You feed • Custom soundtracks creators attach to a whole story • Built-in support for ten languages WHO IT'S FOR People tired of endless scrolling but not ready to commit to a long series. Creators who want to express an idea in 30 seconds. Anyone curious what a screen looks like when it reads you back. Talia is built and operated by Shangyu Chen (individual sole trader, Victoria, Australia, ABN 78 526 386 160). Free to use.
