Core • Narrova Narrative OS
Meet the multi-agent Narrova™ at the center
Narrova is the next-generation narrative intelligence powering every Dramatica experience. Exhaustively trained on Dramatica theory and 30+ years of research, it orchestrates multiple agents around your Storyform so you can move from a spark to structural clarity, beats, and polished drafts.

Powered by Dramatica, not templates
Storyforms as the structural foundation
A Dramatica Storyform is the structural foundation of a story—not a fill-in-the-blanks template. Dramatica works with you to build the perfect structure to support your ideas and intent.
- Storyforms define relationships between conflict, character, and theme—not surface events.
- You choose the Storyform that fits your intent; AI helps you explore the implications.
- 650+ professionally curated story examples show how successful stories realized their structure, so you can learn from them.
Why Dramatica + AI is different
Why Dramatica + AI beats generic AI writing
Most AI writing tools predict the next word based on patterns in existing text. They can sound fluent, but they struggle to maintain deep structural and thematic consistency. Dramatica starts from a formal model of story and uses AI to help you explore that model.
Generic AI writing
- Mimics surface patterns and tropes.
- Loses track of structure over longer works.
- Can’t explain why a suggestion belongs in your story.
Dramatica + Narrova
- Builds from a complete Storyform and four Throughlines.
- Preserves structural and thematic intent from premise to pages.
- Explains how each suggestion serves your story’s underlying model.
