Hi! My name is Brian Mooney, and I made the first Storymatic for my college and high school writing classes. For a long time my students asked me to make more than one Storymatic, because they wanted to use it outside of class with their friends and families. After a few years of listening, I took their excellent advice, and I encourage you to do so as well: use your Storymatic to have some laughs and conversations at a party, and for writing, art, performance, and personal exploration. Most of all, have fun. Happy storytelling!

Inspired by its prompts, I've crafted my own game, STORYMATIC SOLITAIRE, using AI to weave engaging short stories. I also use this solitaire approach to help the retired members of my Sorority become more familiar with AI.
The potential for this tool goes beyond entertainment—it's become a springboard for my literary aspirations, igniting the possibility of publishing a book filled with these captivating tales.
