Conversational Story Agents

Characters, brands and ideas that can talk back.

We design narrative-led conversational agents with a defined voice, memory, knowledge and role—built to guide, explain, perform and respond across digital and physical experiences.

“A chatbot retrieves information. A story agent understands who it is, why it exists and how it should speak.”

Conversational technology becomes more valuable when it has a clear identity and narrative purpose. The agent may embody a founder, character, expert, host, guide or brand voice—but it must remain useful, credible and recognisable.

We combine character development, approved knowledge, conversation design, voice, interface and escalation logic into one coherent experience.

The result can live on a website, inside an exhibition, at an event, through WhatsApp, by phone or as part of a larger transmedia world.

Beyond the Chatbot

The difference is not the model. It is the design.

The audience experiences the role, voice, judgement and usefulness of the agent.

Identity

It knows who it is

A defined character, purpose, point of view and relationship to the organisation.

Knowledge

It knows what it can say

Approved information, sources, boundaries and clear uncertainty handling.

Conversation

It knows how to respond

Dialogue shaped around the audience, context, tone and desired next action.

Continuity

It remains recognisable

The same identity can persist across film, voice, text, social and live experience.

Agent Architecture

Four layers working as one personality.

A convincing agent is not a prompt attached to a widget. It requires narrative, knowledge, interaction and operational design.

Character Layer

Voice and identity

Personality, tone, history, visual presence and behavioural rules.

Knowledge Layer

Facts and sources

Structured organisational information, approved material and retrieval logic.

Experience Layer

Questions and journeys

How users enter, what they ask and how responses move them forward.

Governance Layer

Limits and escalation

What the agent must not claim, when it should defer and how humans remain involved.

Persistent Character

The character does not have to disappear when the film ends.

A virtual ambassador can continue through conversation, podcasting, social content and recurring narrative while preserving the same personality and world.

Applications

Different roles. Different forms of trust.

The strongest agents have a specific job rather than trying to answer everything for everyone.

Brand Ambassador

A recognisable public voice

A persistent character or spokesperson capable of explaining the organisation, appearing in media and continuing the conversation.

Useful for launches, reputation, media ecosystems and audience community.
Visitor Guide

Answers before uncertainty becomes friction

A venue-specific guide that provides practical, multilingual information across access, facilities, routes and preparation.

Useful for hospitality, attractions, museums, stadiums and public venues.
Expert Agent

Make specialist knowledge accessible

An approved expert voice that can explain complex products, policies, research or professional expertise in context.

Useful for founders, consultants, universities, healthcare and technical organisations.
Interactive Character

Let audiences question the story

A historical, fictional or educational character designed to respond consistently within the rules of its world.

Useful for exhibitions, heritage, learning, entertainment and transmedia projects.

The Story Talks Back

Visitors can interrogate the narrative instead of reading around it.

Conversation creates personalised routes through history, products, places and ideas.

Trust & Governance

Personality without loss of control.

A convincing voice must never come at the expense of accuracy, transparency or operational responsibility.

01
Approved sources

Responses are grounded in defined organisational material rather than unrestricted invention.

02
Clear boundaries

The agent understands subjects it may discuss and where uncertainty should be stated.

03
Human escalation

Questions requiring judgement, safeguarding or personal intervention are routed appropriately.

04
Continuous review

Knowledge, conversation patterns and user behaviour can be reviewed and improved.

How We Work

Design the role before training the voice.

We begin with the audience and job the agent must perform, then build the identity, knowledge and technical system around it.

01 · Define

Role and audience

We establish what the agent is, who it serves and the result it should create.

02 · Author

Identity and knowledge

We create the voice, behavioural rules, approved sources and narrative continuity.

03 · Prototype

Conversation and interface

We test questions, responses, tone, boundaries and delivery channels.

04 · Deploy

Integration and review

We launch the agent, connect required systems and refine performance through use.
