Narrative Lion
Study any video to build your playbook and create from it
Most AI tools analyze video through transcripts. Narrative Lion watches the video itself: visual hooks, shot pacing, camera transitions, broken down shot by shot. Unlike general-purpose research tools (NotebookLM), it's built for content creators. Every analysis becomes a reusable formula card. Save your proven formulas into collections. When you create, pin collections and notes to the AI. It reads everything you've studied and gives you a draft where every line traces back to a source.
You sit down to make a Reel.
You've studied Brendan Kane's hook psychology. You've watched Elise Darma break down her CTA structure. Last week, you tested a hook that tripled your engagement.
But turning all of that into today's script? That's a different problem.
I looked at the existing tools. NotebookLM is great at long transcripts; toss in a podcast and the summary is solid. But short-form lives in the visuals, not the words, and it can't see any of that.
It's a general-purpose research tool: no shot-by-shot breakdown, no formula cards, no workflow from research to draft. It helps you read things, not create from what you've read.
You could use an AI agent like Claude Code with video scrapers, writing skills, and a custom setup for making AI actually see the video. With enough time, it works.
But then you're building tools, not creating.
The best content isn't generated from nothing. It's built on what you've accumulated: creators you trust, frameworks you've validated, formulas you know work.
The problem is that all of that lives in your head and a dozen different tools. No AI can read any of it.
After six years of building 0-to-1 SaaS products, I decided to build Narrative Lion.
Copy a Reel link, paste it in. A few seconds later, you're looking at a shot-by-shot breakdown: what psychological mechanism the hook uses, how the pacing builds urgency.
Paste a YouTube podcast link, and an hour of methodology becomes one knowledge card.
Your proven formulas go into a collection. When you create, pin your collection and notes to the AI. It reads everything you've studied and gives you a draft where every line traces back to a source.
The AI isn't guessing. Everything you've studied is finally usable.
