Built the world's largest monologue database, now what?

Been building ActorRise for a couple months now and the hardest part isn't the code.

I'm an actor who taught myself to code. Built an AI monologue search because I was sick of wasting hours reading plays just to find one decent audition piece.

Started scraping and cleaning monologue data, and turns out I accidentally built the world's largest searchable monologue database : 8,600+ pieces. Backstage has like 1,100. Other platforms max out at 800. I have 4-8x more than anyone else.

The tech works great - pgvector, semantic search, all that. I use it constantly for my own auditions.

ActorRise - Find the perfect monologue in less than 20 seconds

Actors waste 6+ hours reading plays to find one monologue. ActorRise finds the perfect piece in under 20 seconds using AI search across the world's largest database (8,600+ monologues vs competitors' 1,100). Just describe what you need: 'funny piece for woman in 20s about family drama.' or even type in a quote "To be or not to be" ActorRise will find your monologue. Built by a working actor who got tired of wasting time on libraries, old books and tiny databases.. Free tier available.
