Job description

Kuku AI Studio is building the world's first large-scale AI-native microdrama production house. We make short-form shows for hundreds of millions of viewers who watch on their phones commuting, on breaks, in the minutes between everything else. Every show we produce starts with a story skeleton. The AI Writer is the person who builds that skeleton and fills it with emotional architecture that the rest of the production pipeline can execute.

This is not a conventional screenwriting role. You will not write in isolation and hand off a finished script. You will work as part of a production pipeline where your output feeds directly into an AI Director and AI Architect pair who generate the show from your brief. Your writing is the creative specification for a machine. It must be precise enough to be executed, and emotionally true enough to be felt. If you are a writer who loves structure as much as story, who finds the architecture of why a scene works as interesting as the scene itself, this role was designed for you.

Key Responsibilities

Story skeleton to script :

• Read and internalise the adapted story skeleton character wounds, base emotion, identity threats, setting symbolism, arc structure, and translate that into episode‑level decisions.
• Develop full episode beat sheets covering every episode's hook, plot advancement, key emotional beat, close type, and the single question the audience is left with.
• Write episode briefs that are compressed, precise, and immediately executable by an AI Architect without requiring creative interpretation.
• Produce dialogue that passes two tests simultaneously: it must work as audio alone for a viewer who is not watching, and it must carry full subtext for a viewer who is watching but not listening.

Emotional architecture :

• Place paywalls correctly at peak emotional injustice or identity threat, never at a plot reveal.
• Design cliffhangers that leave the audience with an emotional question they cannot bear to leave unanswered, not a plot question, an emotional one.
• Calibrate the cliffhanger‑to‑satisfying‑close ratio across a season too many
• Consecutive cliffhangers create fatigue, not urgency.
• Write dialogue that differentiates every character by voice alone. Two characters in this show must never be interchangeable when their lines are read without attribution.

Pipeline and collaboration :

• Brief the AI Director on the emotional intent of each episode before they begin visual execution. Your brief is their creative specification.
• Review AI‑generated episode output against your intended emotional architecture and flag structural mismatches to the Creative Producer.
• Stay ahead of the director pairs in your pod; scripts must be ready before the production window opens, not during it.
• Contribute to the script pattern library. Every structural solution you find to a recurring story problem becomes reusable for the whole team.

What We are Looking For

• A background in screenwriting, content writing, or creative writing formal training is a plus, but a strong portfolio matters more.
• Genuine understanding of what makes someone stop scrolling, you have watched enough microdrama or serialised fiction to know the difference between a hook that works and one that explains itself.
• The ability to write emotion without stating it, your characters should never explain what they feel in dialogue.
• Speed under pressure, you need to be productive at volume without losing quality.
• Fluency in Hindi and English, as many of our shows are multilingual, and cultural register accuracy is non‑negotiable.
• Curious about AI as a creative tool, you will be writing for an AI pipeline, which means understanding what an AI can and cannot do with the brief you give it.
