About Taplot AI & Vizzy Labs
Vizzy Labs builds Taplot AI, the platform where anyone can create and experience cinematic AI interactive stories and games. These interactive series hook players with the emotional tension of short drama, while engaging them deeply through multi-branch game mechanics. We have raised a $7M seed round from a top-tier US fund and are part of Sequoia Capital’s ecosystem in North America. Our founding team graduated from Stanford and has shipped leading products at TikTok and Google.
Our AI creation agents turn imaginative scripts into fully playable, branched visual series. But technology is only half the formula—we need exceptional storytellers. You will partner with writers and narrative designers at every phase: scouting them, guiding them through their first published interactive series, ensuring they are paid fairly, and building an ecosystem where they thrive. You will own writer active retention, publication volume, and the audience success of their stories.
Location: San Francisco, CA (On-site preferred; Remote possible for exceptional talent)

What You’ll Do
- Creator Outreach & Scouting: Identify and sign top authors from Episode, Choices, Wattpad, BookTok, and short-drama screenwriters through direct outreach, creative bounties, and partnerships. Continuously optimize sourcing funnels toward high-retention genres (Romance, Thriller, Urban Fantasy).
- Onboarding & Training: Host onboarding sessions, weekly office hours, and feedback labs. Author practical documentation, story templates, and tutorials that guide traditional writers to master our AI interactive agent tools.
- Creator Incentive Policy: Design and manage the writer monetization framework—including tier qualifications, Minimum Guarantees (MG), revenue share, and completion-based performance bonuses. Ensure timely, transparent payouts.
- Writer Relationship Management: Serve as the dedicated partner for an assigned portfolio of writers from day one. Proactively anticipate churn risks, publish monthly writer newsletters, conduct quarterly creator surveys, and funnel writer feedback directly to our product and AI teams.
- Narrative Quality & Packaging: Review raw submissions, evaluate publish-readiness, and assist in creative packaging (hook design, choice branch points). Leverage gameplay analytics (choice distribution, drop-off rates) to coach authors on optimizing future episodes.
What We Look For
- Story Instinct: Background in literature, narrative design, or screenwriting—or deep roots as an active participant in communities like Episode, Wattpad, or BookTok. You can articulate why a hook catches and where a narrative falls flat.
- Passionate Consumer: You actively read web serials, watch vertical short dramas, or play interactive story games yourself.
- Hands-on Mindset: Eager to reach out directly to writers, critique branching drafts line by line, and calibrate incentive models hands-on.
- AI-Native: You use LLM and generative creative tools daily, and can build a complete interactive pilot series using our Taplot Agent.
- Empathy & Composure: Exceptional tact in navigating difficult conversations, including script revisions, content rejections, and compensation disputes.
- Data Fluency: High comfort interpreting player engagement funnels to drive creative recommendations.
Nice to Have
- Previous experience growing creator ecosystems at companies like WEBTOON, Wattpad, Episode, TikTok LIVE, CapCut, Patreon, or gaming studios.
- Direct familiarity with romance, romantasy, or female-oriented interactive entertainment audiences.
- Bilingual in English and Mandarin Chinese (the team operates across both).
Compensation: Competitive salary + meaningful early-stage equity.
