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.
Hey Product Hunt!
As a software engineer AND working actor with Inferno Theater, I built ActorRise because I was tired of limited databases and wasted time.
The problem: Backstage has ~1,100 monologues. Other platforms max at 800. Actors waste hours searching.
The solution:
8,600+ monologues (4-8x larger than any competitor)
First AI semantic search for theater
Natural language: 'dramatic piece about loss, 2 minutes, not overdone'
Built by an actor, for actors
The AI understands context and emotion, not just keywords. No more filter hell or settling for overdone pieces because that's all that's available.
Free tier available - would love your feedback! What features should I build next?
@canberkv This is such a niche! A close friend of mine is building smart subtitle tech for theaters, so I’ve had a glimpse into how much tradition + inefficiency still exists in this space. The “8,600+ monologues + semantic search” angle feels genuinely useful, especially for actors preparing under time pressure.
Are you thinking about expanding this beyond monologues? Maybe scene partner matching, audition prep tools, or even emotional tone analysis for rehearsal?
