AI Studio

AI Studio ships 23 generation types organised across 7 categories: Characters, Plotting, World, Craft, Revision, Academic, and TTRPG. Each generator targets a specific job — "build me a relationship map" or "index every scene with POV and conflict" — and every result becomes a normal Plotiar content item that you can rename, edit, share, or export.

AI Studio is designed to do what AI is good at — reading long text and reorganising it — without doing what it should not do: writing your creative content. The generators draft reference materials; you remain the author of the manuscript itself.

From any project, open AI Studio, choose a generation type, select the source documents (chapters, scenes, or whole drafts), tune the generator's options, and run it. Plotiar streams the result into a new content item once generation completes.

1. 1

   Open AI Studio

   Open AI Studio from the project sidebar or the AI tools menu.

2. 2

   Pick a generator

   Browse the 23 generators by category. Each card shows what it produces and which output type it lands in.

3. 3

   Select source content

   Choose the documents the generator should read. You can select individual chapters, an entire folder, or the whole project (up to the per-request cap).

4. 4

   Configure options

   Each generator exposes its own knobs — detail level, what to include, how to group, focus characters, and so on. Defaults are sensible; tune as needed.

5. 5

   Run and review

   AI Studio runs the generation in the background and creates a new content item when finished. Open the result, edit any part of it, and re-run with new settings if you want to iterate.

All 23 generators, grouped by category.

Every generator emits one of six output types. Output type determines which editor opens the result — generators that emit a document open in the canvas editor, generators that emit a corkboard open the corkboard, and so on.

• •Document — long-form references like Character Bible, World Bible, Plot Synopsis, Timeline, Dialogue Voice Profile
• •Flowchart — node-and-edge diagrams like Relationship Map, Plot Structure, Magic System, Thematic Threads
• •Plot Grid — chapter-by-character or chapter-by-plotline grids like Plot Overview, Character Arc, Foreshadowing, POV Knowledge
• •Corkboard — index-card boards like Scene Index, Character Cards, Setting Guide, Citation Index
• •Family Tree — person nodes with parent-child and spousal edges, used by the Family Lineage generator
• •Taskboard — actionable checklists like Revision Checklist and Continuity Bible

Every generator exposes its own configuration. Most cards include detail level (brief / standard / comprehensive), inclusion toggles (e.g. minor characters, subplots, key quotes), and grouping options (by chapter, by POV, chronological).

• •Defaults are tuned to produce something useful on the first run
• •Configuration is saved per generation, so re-running uses the same settings unless you change them
• •Some generators expose focus lists (focus characters, focus themes, focus locations) so you can scope the output to a subset of your project
• •Output token caps are set per generator type to balance depth against credit cost

Every AI Studio run consumes Pro plan AI credits. Cost depends on the size of the source content, the generator's output cap, and whether you have hit cache reuse on a previous related run.

• •The Pro plan includes 250 credits per week, refreshed automatically
• •Credit cost is shown on the generation dialog before you run, so you can adjust scope first
• •BYOK (bring your own key) lets you bypass the weekly cap by routing AI calls through your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google account
• •Failed runs do not consume credits
• •Long manuscripts may switch to extended-context models — cost is higher per call but the run still fits in one request

Once a generator has produced an output, you can regenerate it from the result page — same generator, same source documents, your latest manuscript state. This is the normal workflow for keeping an AI Studio output in sync as your draft evolves.

• •Regenerate replaces the current content item's contents in place
• •Source content selection and configuration are remembered from the original run
• •You can change either the source set or the configuration before regenerating
• •Run multiple generators against the same source for cross-cutting reference (e.g. Scene Index + Plot Overview Grid + POV Knowledge Tracker against the same draft)
