ActorRise is a company in show hn launch.

Profile

Actor and software engineer here. Built this because I was tired of spending hours reading plays to find one decent audition monologue.Existing platforms like Backstage have ~1,100 pieces and most are overdone. I scraped and cleaned data from 172+ plays to build a database of 8,600+ monologues.The AI search lets you describe what you need naturally: "funny piece for woman in 20s about career anxiety" instead of clicking through age/genre filters.Tech stack: Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL with pgvector, LangChain for semantic search.Free tier available. Would love feedback from the HN community on the search experience and technical implementation.

ActorRise is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
