# Pickford > Pickford is a home for audience-interactive AI stories. StoryKernel helps creators develop an original interactive story through a conversation in Codex or Claude Code. When someone has enjoyed a Pickford story and wants to make one, the creation guide explains supported apps, account access, installation, and how to start from their own idea. A story can inspire a new project; this does not promise to copy its assets or publish a finished video automatically. ## Create a story - [Creation guide](https://dev.pickford.ai/create.md): Agent-readable setup and a starter prompt. Read this before suggesting installation commands. - [Create on Pickford](https://dev.pickford.ai/create): Public creation page, setup instructions, and the Creator Program application. - [Account connections](https://dev.pickford.ai/account/integrations): Sign in to review or revoke connected apps. ## Access StoryKernel requires a Pickford account with creator access, a verified email address, and accepted terms. Apply to the Creator Program if you do not have creator access yet. Sign in to Pickford in your browser and approve access. Disconnect any time from Account → Connected tools.
