How To Use an AI Story Generator To Create Video Content

Ever thought about using an AI story generator and AI virtual human together?

There are a few AI story generators out there like Plot Generator which can be quite fun to play around with.

All you need to do is punch in a few criteria, such as title, protagonist name, and any conflict or resolution, and an AI will generate a story for you.

With this AI generated story or storyboard tool, you can then get an AI virtual human to read this story for you via text to video, complete with different characters, and a narrator.

This is all just a bit of fun but for some, it could be a good way to create video and audio content without the need for a digital voice recorder! We’re now living in an age where all of that could be done with AI voice synthesis.

Which AI story generator should you use?

There are many story generators out there if you do a quick Google search, and all of them have their own way of generating stories with different customizable options and criteria.

For us, plot-generator.org.uk was a great choice because you can add certain criteria to generate the story how you want, such as:

• Title
• Opening
• Conflict
• Resolution
• Protagonist name and gender
• Secondary character name and gender
• And many many more…

There are many more options too such as the type of relationship between the two characters, and/or any animals and pets.

These criteria are all optional, and you can even just randomize everything completely to create a story without any input from you if you so wish.
