Company Story

For decades, Hannes Steiner watched countless stories struggle to find their way into print. As a successful publisher who launched bestseller after bestseller, he saw firsthand both the transformative power of storytelling and the often-intimidating barriers of traditional publishing.

“Every person carries unique experiences worth sharing … Yet the path to publishing has always been exclusive, complex, and often discouraging. This realization led me to create something entirely different."

Hannes Steiner, Founder

Story.one was born from this vision: a platform that democratizes storytelling by making book creation accessible to everyone, regardless of their writing experience or background. What sets it apart isn't just its simplicity—it's the revolutionary integration of neuro-symbolic AI technology, developed in partnership with ExtensityAI.
As an author and with his platform story.one he sets out to decipher what for many is a closed book: how to write a bestseller. 

“In partnership with ExtensityAI, we’re pushing the boundaries of publishing by integrating cutting-edge neuro-symbolic AI technology. This AI-driven platform transforms lived experiences into compelling narratives, enabling people from all walks of life to share their stories in ways that were previously unimaginable. By revolutionizing the book creation process, we're not just writing books—we're giving a voice to the unheard and preserving untold stories for future generations.“

Your Story, Made Simple

What if creating a book could be as natural as telling a story to a friend? This is exactly what we've achieved by merging story.one's publishing expertise with ExtensityAI's groundbreaking neuro-symbolic AI technology. The story.one platform doesn't just write—it understands, adapts, and crafts narratives that capture the authentic voice of each storyteller.

Imagine speaking about your life experiences into your phone, sharing a video of your adventures, or pointing to web articles that inspire you. Our AI system takes these diverse inputs and weaves them into a coherent, compelling narrative. It's like having a master storyteller and editor by your side, one who helps you shape your thoughts into chapters while maintaining your unique voice throughout the journey.

The magic lies in how our technology bridges the gap between raw experiences and polished prose. Whether you're a business leader wanting to share industry insights, a traveler documenting global adventures, or a grandparent preserving family histories, our platform adapts to your needs. It understands context, maintains narrative consistency, and can even tailor the same story for different audiences or languages.

But we're not just about technology—we're about making dreams accessible. What traditionally takes months of writing, editing, and refining can now be accomplished in days. Our standardized book format ensures professional quality while our global distribution network means your story can reach readers anywhere in the world.

This isn't just another AI writing tool. It's a complete reimagining of how stories come to life. We're not replacing human creativity—we're amplifying it, making it possible for anyone with a story to become an author. Because we believe that every experience, every perspective, and every voice deserves to be heard.
