Inspiration

I've always loved stories and dreamed of writing my own. While I have countless ideas and narratives in mind, I never considered myself a writer. I longed for a tool that could guide me through the writing process—something that could help shape my ideas into structured, compelling stories.

The inspiration for this project had been with me for quite some time. However, as a visionary, I recognized the complexity of what I wanted to build. It required significant coding effort and time, which kept it on the back burner—until now. The opportunity to explore and experiment with Bolt reignited that spark, giving me the motivation to finally take on this ambitious project solo.

What it does

This is an AI-powered creative writing tool designed to support storytellers throughout the writing process. Before a story becomes a film, a great deal of work happens behind the scenes—from initial drafts and scriptwriting to story mapping, character development, and table reads.

The application integrates Google Vertex AI and Eleven Labs to assist users at every stage of this process, making it a powerful companion for writers, filmmakers, and creators alike.

How we built it

  • Frontend: Built using Angular, with the help of Bolt as a collaborative code assistant. My experience using Bolt throughout this journey is documented in detail here.
  • Backend: Powered by a FastAPI server and connected to a Firestore database for real-time data management.

Challenges we ran into

  • Deployment Issues: Bolt was unable to deploy the Angular app to Netlify, stalling for over 50 minutes. I eventually deployed it manually via Netlify. Unfortunately, support from the Discord mentor was limited during this stage.
  • Over-Engineering by Bolt: Bolt occasionally introduced unnecessary complexity, such as redundant services and mismanaged data flow between components. These issues required additional time and effort to resolve.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Took on a large and technically demanding project single-handedly—with valuable assistance from Bolt. The entire UI is built on Bolt. The only changes made are connections to backend and data flow, but such a vast and intricate UI could only be possible with Bolt.
  • Successfully integrated Google Vertex AI and Eleven Labs, making the app a strong foundation for future expansion into film production tools.

What I learned

  • Gained a deeper understanding of Bolt and how to use it effectively as a collaborative code tool.
  • Developed insight into how AI assistants can enhance development while also learning to manage and correct their limitations.
  • Improved my full-stack development skills across Angular and FastAPI.

What's next for Aditi Studios

  • Refine and optimize data flow and communication between components.
  • Implement storyboard visualization and character study documentation to support actors and production teams.
  • Expand AI integration for richer narrative structuring and voice-assisted story playback.
