Main title

Theo Dear Mrs. Whitlock.

Theo I have observed your window for two thousand one hundred ninety-one nights.

Theo Not in a creepy way.

Theo My mom keeps your house running at night.

Adela Look. We're guests in this house. She's my boss. I lose this job, we lose everything.

Adela Never. Never ever go past the kitchen.

Theo I've been drawing this since I was six. There's only one part I can't build.

Theo This year, I got in.

Eleanor Begin. Try not to set anything on fire.

Priya That's it. That's your part.

Theo Everyone says your husband invented all of this.

Arthur E's idea. Hers, not mine.

Theo I think E is you.

Priya You're going to waste the one thing you ever wanted?

Judge Isn't that a teeny bit ghoulish?

Theo I tried to fix it. And I lost.

Adela What did I say?

Eleanor Certainly not.

Eleanor You coward.

Adela She was laughing.

Eleanor P.S. Learn cursive.

FAQ

Questions people ask first.

What is makr.ai?

makr.ai turns a screenplay, a business idea or a page of notes into finished work — decks, websites, emails, podcasts and trailers — ready to send. You describe what you need, or attach what you already have, and every piece comes back designed and matching.

How is makr.ai different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is great for words and documents. makr.ai makes the whole package around your idea: a produced podcast with music and sound, video you can edit in makr.studio, images, decks, a site and emails, all matching and saved together in one project. You talk to it, but the point is what you walk away with.

Can AI make a pitch deck from my screenplay?

Yes: attach your screenplay and makr.ai reads it, breaks it down into the characters, places and one consistent look, then builds an image deck and a financing deck from it. The Keepsake decks on this page were made that way, with the poster, the website, the audio drama and the trailer.

Can makr.ai make a website and emails from one idea?

Yes: from one idea, makr.ai researches the market, then makes the brand, a clickable app prototype, the launch site, an investor deck and the email sequences. Memri, on the business path above, is one idea taken all the way there.

Will what makr.ai makes look generic?

No. Bring your own brand, fonts and files. Change anything by hand or by asking, and makr.ai remembers what you change, so the next thing it makes starts closer to how you like it.

I market a brand that already exists. Is makr.ai for me?

Yes. Bring the product and the brand: your guide, logo, fonts and past work. makr.ai makes the campaign around it: decks, a website, posters and social images, emails, research and video, all in your brand. Change anything by hand or by asking.

Can I edit what makr.ai makes?

Yes, everything. Decks, websites, emails and images open in simple editors; audio and video open in makr.studio, with a built-in library of over 70,000 sound effects and music cues.

Can makr.ai make a podcast on a schedule, or run long jobs?

Yes. Set any task to run daily or weekly and makr.ai researches, writes, produces and delivers it to your inbox. Big jobs keep running after you close the tab.

Can my team use makr.ai?

Team workspaces are coming soon. Today, you can share what you make with anyone by link.

How much does makr.ai cost?

It's free to start. After that you buy token packs, with no subscription, and you always see the price before anything runs.

Who owns what I make with makr.ai?

You do. Under our terms, you own the output you generate, and we assign you any rights we have in it. Third-party material used in your work, like licensed sounds, keeps its own license.

Who makes makr.ai?

makr.ai is made by Gabe Cowan, a filmmaker and musician. After years of producing films and building pro audio software (Audio Design Desk), he wanted one place where an idea turns into every finished piece, not twenty tools and a week of handoffs.

Your turn

What do you need to make this week?

Describe it, or attach what you already have. makr.ai takes it from there.
