Storylink Radio is dedicated to the art of storytelling, keeping literature—both ancient and modern—alive and engaging through entertainment. Our mission extends beyond storytelling into immersive language learning, offering emergent readers and language learners a unique way to experience stories.

With a 40-region estate in Kitely, Storylink Radio hosts live storytelling sessions, simulcast on YouTube and in collaboration with the Seanchai Library in Second Life, allowing audiences to interact in real time. Our extensive catalog includes a podcast and YouTube channel featuring hundreds of hours of free storytelling programming.

Now, visitors can interact with authors and their characters at the Storylink Radio Exhibit at the OpenSim World’s Fair, hosted on Wolf Territories Grid.

An Interactive, AI-Driven Exhibit

The quarter-region exhibit showcases a collection of thematic vignettes, each tied to popular past storytelling sessions. Guests can explore multiple interlinked locations, accessible by walking bridges or a teleport network.

At every location, visitors can experience on-demand storytelling and engage with AI-powered personalities — the Aithereals — who bring characters and literary figures to life. These AI cast members, powered by OpenAI, are designed to embody their unique personas authentically, engaging guests in dynamic, real-time conversations.

Unlike scripted NPCs, Aithereals are autonomous and unscripted, ensuring unpredictable, immersive interactions—whether discussing their own stories, characters, or anything the guest wishes to explore.

How Guests Can Interact

Each location includes two clickable objects to guide engagement:

  • Guide Box– Provides details about the vignette and instructions on how to interact with Aithereals.
  • Random Q’s Box – While guests can chat freely with the AI cast, this box offers conversation starters.
