What we’re building
by Cassie Alexander
“The point is not word-by-word translation. The point is carried meaning.”
An author-first AI translation workspace. Bring your own keys, and keep a book's voice, glossary, and canon consistent across an entire series — full-length, pro-quality translations on an indie budget.
by Novae Caelum
“Fiction, reimagined as shows.”
A discovery hub for AI-creative fiction shows — browse by genre, follow creators, and watch episodes. Growing into the home of Novae's AI filmmaking app and filmmaking courses.
by Cassie Alexander
“Reading, gamified — every few chapters earns cheese.”
A playful reading tracker that turns finishing chapters and books into streaks, achievements, and collectible cheese. Built for readers, in 28 languages.

“Closed-door audiobooks — without the weekend of manual cuts.”
An AI audiobook editor that finds the spicy scenes, proposes clean cut points with previews, and lets you approve every edit before it renders a closed-door edition — no re-recording.
The storytellers
Cassie Alexander is an ICU nurse turned author of 40-plus books — hot paranormal romance and urban fantasy, including the Edie Spence series (blurbed by Charlaine Harris) and the steamy Dark Ink Tattoo saga. An early creator building openly with AI, she's translated her work into 28 languages, co-written a novel with AI into Amazon's top 1,000, and built systems most people don't realize are possible — now including Project Arachne, Reader Pet, and Unspice.
Novae Caelum writes romantasy and epic space fantasy with diverse, inclusive casts — queer, trans, and nonbinary heroes wearing crowns, falling for their enemies, and saving kingdoms. His fiction has appeared in Lambda Award–winning and World Fantasy finalist anthologies, and he has short stories archived on the moon. Now building Fiction.show and an AI filmmaking app that turns manuscripts into finished cinema.
