Pocket FM Launches Sherpa AI for Long-Running Fiction
Pocket FM has made an AI tool called Sherpa for people who write long stories.
It can help think of story ideas and organize what happens next.
It can also research topics, write passages and review episodes.
Another part of Sherpa remembers characters, places and events from earlier episodes.
This is useful because details from old episodes may matter much later.
Pocket FM says Sherpa uses several special AI tools instead of one general-purpose model.
The company says writers still make the important creative decisions.
Author Ajit Kumar said Sherpa helps writers continue when writing becomes difficult.
Pocket FM says its platform now produces more than 2.5 million hours of content each year.
Pocket FM launched Sherpa, an AI platform designed to help creators plan, write and develop long-running fiction.
Sherpa uses separate AI agents for ideation, story planning, research, prose writing and content review.
Its Narrative World Model tracks characters, plotlines and world details across hundreds of episodes.
Pocket FM says creators retain control while Sherpa assists with storytelling, continuity and production.
The platform was trained on data from more than 770,000 titles, 550,000 creators and 5.5 billion hours of playtime.
