About

My Scenario

Features
Read full description

My Scenario helps you give form to a story that is already yours. You set the characters, places, and next turn. AI helps shape chapters you can read, review, and keep directing. Technology does not replace your voice; it gives that voice room to become a story. HOW IT WORKS โ€ข Share an idea โ€” describe the scenario and mood you want to explore. โ€ข Build the world โ€” add characters and places that stay part of the plot. โ€ข Read the chapter โ€” review what emerges and decide where the story goes next. Swipe right to keep a chapter, or swipe left to reshape it with your mentor. โ€ข Add an image โ€” optionally enable illustrations, choose a visual style, and review the artwork for each chapter. WHAT YOU CAN DO โ€ข Create characters and places and reuse them across stories. โ€ข Choose a tone: romance, drama, mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, adventure, bedtime, or custom. โ€ข Enable optional chapter illustrations and review each image. โ€ข Add chapter narration when you want to listen. โ€ข Chat with a mentor to develop the scenario, the world, or a chapter. โ€ข Download a finished story as a PDF. โ€ข Sign in with Apple, Google, or email to keep your world. NO SUBSCRIPTION My Scenario does not lock you into a monthly plan. A new account includes 2,000 tokens for first steps. Tokens are spent only on AI generation: chapters, illustrations, narration, and mentor guidance. Reading, editing, and building your world do not consume extra tokens. When you need more, buy a token pack in the app through the App Store. My Scenario is for people 13 and older. Generated text and images are not guaranteed to be unique, accurate, or ready to publish. You review each chapter yourself.
