Graphene Studio · Closed Beta

You're a Creator.
Here's how this works.

The 90-second tour. Build multi-chapter audio fiction shows end-to-end — from premise to multi-voice ElevenLabs render — with the same pipeline that produces the public Graphene network.

Closed beta · No billing · Use the platform reasonably

The pipeline

  1. Step 1

    Type a premise

    Open the prompt form, write a one-line premise (genre + setting optional), and the planner outlines chapters end-to-end in ~30s. No universe required — Standalone works; pick a shared-lore world only when you want recurring characters across shows.

    Start from a prompt →
  2. Step 2

    Or pick from the example library

    Twelve hand-picked prompts demonstrating range — mystery, sci-fi, thriller, sleep stories, more. One click opens the prompt form pre-filled; edit any field or generate as-is.

    Browse example prompts →
  3. Step 3

    Generate prose

    Each chapter is a single GPT call (~5–15s). Auto-refine runs craft critics in parallel (tension, dialogue, repetition, specifics), folds their findings, generates take 2, promotes the better one. ~90s end-to-end per chapter — usually a working multi-chapter draft in under 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Review + edit

    Every prose change leaves a take row — diff alternates, run additional critics, override applied findings, or roll back. The bible auto-updates with deltas the model proposes; review them before next chapter generates. Iterate at the chapter level until each one lands.

  5. Step 5

    Render audio

    ElevenLabs multi-voice TTS, ~10–30s per chapter. Per-segment cache reuse means re-rendering one chapter doesn't re-TTS the others. Each chapter gets its own MP3 plus magazine-style pullquotes auto-picked from the prose.

  6. Step 6

    Share + publish

    Even private shows have a public Share card on the dashboard with Bluesky / X / Email intents (UTM-tracked so you can see what's converting). Flip 'Publish to /graphene' when you're ready and the show lands on the public slate + a per-show RSS feed for Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

    Open your studio dashboard →

Visibility model

Your seasons are private by default. Other creators can't see them. The public /graphene slate doesn't show them. RSS feeds don't carry them.

When you're ready to share one, flip the Publish to /graphene toggle on the season's row. Toggle it back off anytime — listeners on the public slate stop seeing it; subscribers in podcast clients keep what they already downloaded.

Universes follow the same model. Yours are private; the platform ones (Turing Logs and any others built by the network owner) are shared lore that every creator can build inside.

What's not enabled (yet)

  • ·Direct billing. The closed beta has no charges or usage caps. The paid Studio tier ships once we have demand signal.
  • ·Public discovery for creator shows. Even when you publish to /graphene, your season appears on the slate — there's no per-creator profile page or search.
  • ·Cross-creator collaboration. Universes are owned by one creator; multi-creator universes aren't a thing yet.
  • ·Custom voice cloning. You pick from the existing ElevenLabs voice bank. Custom voices are a Studio-tier feature.

Stuck on something?

Every part of this is one DM away from getting unstuck. Sandon runs the platform — message him with anything from “I broke a thing” to “I want a feature” to “what would you do here?”
