# Why We Built ComedySetBuilder (And Why It Never Writes Comedy)

The best comedy comes from the comedian. The software should organise, not create.

## The philosophy

Every word in your set should be yours. The software exists to organise what you create, not to replace your voice.

## What it does

It captures your ideas, organises them silently, helps you build routines, and gives you eight ways to memorise them.

## What it doesn't do

It never writes a joke. It never suggests material. It never comments on your work. It simply helps you build and perform your own comedy.
