WORKING WITH STORY ENGINE

Scope the system
around your team.

How does it relate to Unicorn’s studio services?

Unicorn’s studio team makes films and manages recurring content programs. Story Engine brings that creative work into a broader media-company operation, including editorial planning, publishing workflows, distribution, and maintenance.

What does AI handle?

The operating plan identifies where AI assists research, drafting, asset organization, clipping, and routine workflows. Your editors and subject experts retain defined responsibilities for creative decisions, factual claims, and publication.

Can our team operate the system?

We can scope a launch and licensed operating system for your team, or an ongoing managed engagement. Software access, content ownership, team training, production capacity, and third-party costs are specified in the proposal.

Where does an engagement begin?

With the audience, existing content, team, and business model. We establish the initial programming and operating requirements, then agree on the launch scope and maintenance plan.
