Casto
Cast your characters in your own AI-written stories
Casto turns your imagination into a casting universe. Build characters with profile and backstory, cast them into a premise you sketch out, and an AI screenwriter weaves a 5-episode serialized story around them. After each chapter you choose what happens next. Every series joins your personal universe — characters carry over, and the world keeps growing. For storytellers, daydreamers, and anyone who's wanted to direct their own show.
Hey Product Hunt!
If you've spent any time with character chat apps, you've probably noticed the same thing I did: the story is on rails. Same opener, same beats, same ending — and the moment a session ends, the character is locked into that one universe. You can't cast them into a different story tomorrow.
casto opens both of those up. Build your characters once, then drop them into whatever premise you sketch out. An AI screenwriter takes it from there and writes a 5-episode serialized story around the cast you chose. After every chapter you pick what happens next, so the plot bends to your twists instead of a fixed route. And the same character can be cast into a different story whenever you want — your universe just keeps expanding.
A few things I'd love feedback on:
- Does the "casting" metaphor click for you, or feel forced?
- 5 episodes per story — too short, just right, too long?
- What character traits do you wish you could define?
casto is live on iOS and Android, in 6 languages (English, Korean, Japanese, German, French, Traditional Chinese). Free daily generations + a soft in-app currency ("popcorn") for higher-quality runs.
Happy to dig into anything in the thread. Thanks for taking a look!
