Know which story to tell next.
Story Engine suggests the stories your team is missing, says why each one matters, and helps you ask the right person to share them.
Every team can start free with one interview and one piece.
Ideas
A plan for your stories, not a blank page.
It’s hard to know which story to tell next, and easy to tell the same few over and over. Story Engine looks at what you do and the stories you already have, then suggests what’s missing. Each idea comes with a reason, so you can see how it helps, and one click to the next step.
Stop staring at a blank calendar.
Ideas show up on your Home screen, each one with a reason and a next step.
A reason for every idea
Each idea says why it matters, like helping families picture where your program can lead.
Who to ask, not just what to write
When you don’t have the story yet, the idea helps you ask the person who can tell it.
One click to the next step
Ask someone to share the story, or make a piece from a story you already have.
From an idea to a finished piece.

Ask the right person
When you don’t have the story yet, the idea opens a new interview with the idea already filled in.
- Ask someone to share it
- Ellie writes the questions
Who do you want to hear from, and why?
A mentee in their first year of college. I want to hear how their mentor helped them get there.
Make it into content
When you have the story, make the piece from the idea. Save ideas for later, and give a thumbs up or down so the next ones fit better.

Questions about Story Ideas.
What are story ideas?
Story ideas are suggestions on your Story Engine Home screen for stories your team could tell next. Each idea says why it matters and what to do next: make a piece from a story you have, or ask someone to share a story you don’t have yet.
How is this different from a content calendar?
A content calendar holds what you already planned. Story ideas suggest what’s missing, say why each one matters, and help you ask the person who can tell it.
Where do the ideas come from?
From what Story Engine knows about your organization and the stories you already have.
What if we don’t have the story yet?
The idea says “Ask someone to share it.” Click it and a new interview opens with the idea filled in.
Do ideas publish anything?
No. Nothing is ever posted for you. Ideas only help you decide what to make next.
