Introducing Sherpa: the most advanced fiction writing AI

We accelerated from $250M in ARR to $500M because Sherpa helped increase content production by 1200% in 1 year

Sherpa was trained on 5.5B hours of playtime with minute by minute dynamic retention data.

550K+ creators have produced 2.6M hours of content annualised using it

Pocket FM is like Netflix for audio-only dramas, with our own pool of one-person studios.

10% of eligible writers on Pocket FM make >$200K
One blockbuster produced >$100M in revenue
3 writers have become millionaires in <2 yrs

We built Sherpa to enable anyone to make >$1M by writing world-class fiction stories:

1. The Idea: Drop a 1-2 sentence concept. Sherpa interrogates it like a veteran editor on tension, stakes, and psychology
2. World & Characters: It builds out the complete lore, tone, and character psychologies
3. Sub-Plot planning: Breaks the premise into arcs, arcs into episodes, and episodes into scenes
4. Scene-by-Scene Generation: Outlines and drafts entire episodes, with you able to steer, rewrite, or override anytime
5. Editorial Review: Stress-tests every draft for pacing, engagement drop-offs, prose, and coherence before it locks
6. One-Tap Production: Pick a voice, convert to audio drama, and publish directly to Pocket FM’s millions of listeners
7. Global Scale & Monetization: Revenue-share on performance, with automatic localization so you earn across international markets

_____________________________________________

Generic LLMs fail at serialized fiction because they lack a long-horizon narrative reward function.

Sherpa solves this through three core technical leaps:

1. Narrative World Model (State Tracking & Retrieval): Context windows degrade over long runs. Sherpa constructs an evolving semantic knowledge graph tracking character states, secrets, and plot dependencies. High-speed retrieval surfaces exact context on demand, maintaining zero continuity decay across hundreds of episodes

2. Hierarchical Story Planner: When writing a 500-episode story like Naruto, you need to plan 100s of sub plots. Rather than generating linearly, Sherpa decomposes narrative across discrete levels: season -> arc -> sequence -> episode -> scene.

Rather than generating everything upfront, like a generic LLM, Sherpa uses progressive planning and dynamic replanning. As the story evolves, it identifies what changed, traces the downstream impact, and replans only the affected parts.

3. Prose Engine (Trained on series' retention data): LLMs write robotically, but serial fiction needs emotion, tension, pacing, and dialogue that sounds like real people.

Sherpa's Prose Engine was designed specifically for storytelling. It was built on 1B+ tokens of Pocket's own stories, trained by learning from what listeners engage with, where they drop off, and what keeps them hooked.

Feedback is taken from specialized evaluator models that measure every scene against a 40-item checklist. (Evaluator models were benchmarked against human reviewers and matched them 80–90% of the time.)
_______________________________________________

Owning distribution and creation puts us in a very unique spot.
More shows -> More data -> Sherpa becomes better -> more creator success -> more creators -> more shows

Pocket FM has already seen one $100M IP. I believe Sherpa will soon lead to dozens of single-person studios creating billion-dollar shows.

Most people are scared of AI but I think it'll unlock more human creativity, help creators earn more, and bring the next great IPs to life. This will create millions of jobs and new income streams.

When we see some sculptures around us or Pyramids, no body knows how they were made .

Some people or company must have done something similar and now we feel we are hundreds and thousands of year behind some old advance technology.

THIS IS F*CKING DISTURBING!!!🤯

A leaked Anthropic document just came out in court. Their own words:

"Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world."

Next line: "We don't want it to be known that we are working on this."

They planned to shred every book on the planet, in secret. And they almost got away with it.

It starts with theft. Anthropic stole 7 MILLION books from pirate sites to train Claude, because their CEO said paying authors was too much of a "slog."

Then the lawsuits hit and they needed a legal way to keep going. So they hired the ex-head of Google Books and sent him to publishers to ask for permission. Publishers said no.

That's when they found the loophole.

Buy millions of real, physical books. Cut the spines off with a hydraulic blade, scan the loose pages, and throw what's left in recycling.

One vendor offered to destroy 2 MILLION books in 6 months. That's 11,000 books a day.

Now the insane part.. destroying the books is what made it legal.

If you scan a book and keep it, that's a crime. If you scan it and shred it, that's fair use. A judge actually approved this, which means the shredder WAS the legal strategy.

They still paid $1.5 billion for the stolen books, the biggest copyright settlement in history. Works out to $3,000 per book.

And the scans are locked in Anthropic's private library forever. Nobody outside the company will ever see them. The authors got a shredded book and nothing else.

The part I can't stop thinking about is that a book on a shelf lasts 500 years without power, wifi, or a subscription, and the AI it was destroyed for gets thrown away in 18 months.

They killed something permanent to feed something disposable.

[Amit Kumar Sindhi @AMIT_GUJJU]

YouTuber Samdish Bhatia was also present at the CJP protest and the Sansad march today.

He was standing among the protesters when the police moved in, and he appeared to be hit with a couple of lathi blows on his backside.

He's usually seen laughing and joking, but after those lathi blows, he looked furious and was clearly fuming. 😭😹👇

A BLACK DAY FOR DEMOCRACY..

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi opened the Monsoon Session speaking about national achievements and the aspirations of India's youth, another reality was unfolding on the streets of the capital.

Students and young citizens demanding accountability over examination failures and paper leaks were stopped by barricades, tear gas and batons during the "Sansad Chalo" protest. Multiple reports documented the use of force as protesters attempted to move towards Parliament.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Police used batons and tear gas to disperse protesters as tens of thousands joined the Cockroach Janta Party's march on parliament in New Delhi. Protesters demanded the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over exam scandals that sparked nationwide outrage.

Visual Proof 🚨

Rapid Action Force themselves were pelting stones at children

Shameful!

[Priya Purohit @Priyaa_Purohit]

When international media covers the story, you see the protest.

When Godi Media covers it, you see the Propaganda.

Big Difference ✅️👇

Narendra Modi orders Parliament gates shut once again, reportedly fearing students and their demands.

Afraid to even face the students?
