AI Features Guide

FictionMaker.ai’s AI understands your project’s context across all entity types, helping you create consistent, compelling content across text, images, and audio.

Context-Aware Generation

Unlike generic AI tools, our AI knows your project:

Full Project Understanding

The AI has access to:

  • All your entity types and their field structures
  • Every entity you’ve created with all their details
  • Relationships between entities
  • Hierarchies and organizational structure
  • Your established writing style and tone
  • World rules like magic systems or technology levels

Why Context Matters

When you ask a generic AI tool to “write a scene in the tavern,” it invents everything from scratch. When you ask FictionMaker.ai, it knows:

  • The tavern’s name, location, atmosphere, and regular patrons
  • Which characters are likely to be there
  • Recent events that might affect the mood
  • Your world’s currency, social customs, and speech patterns
  • How this scene fits into your larger narrative

The result is content that fits seamlessly into your world without requiring extensive editing.

Growing Intelligence

The AI becomes more helpful as your project grows. A new project with three characters and two locations has limited context. A mature project with hundreds of interconnected entities provides rich context that enables remarkably specific and consistent generation.

AI Automation

Let the AI handle repetitive tasks and complex workflows:

Entity Type Creation

Describe a concept and the AI creates the entity type structure:

What You Provide

  • The concept name (e.g., “Starship”)
  • Brief description of what it represents
  • Example use cases or instances
  • Any specific requirements

What the AI Creates

  • Complete field structure with appropriate types
  • Logical field groupings
  • Suggested relationships to existing entity types
  • Display configuration
  • Export formatting

Example

You say: “I need an entity type for magic spells in my fantasy world. They should track the incantation, what school of magic they belong to, mana cost, effects, and any material components needed.”

The AI creates a “Magic Spell” entity type with:

  • Basic info fields (name, description)
  • School of Magic (selection linked to Schools entity type)
  • Mana Cost (number)
  • Cast Time (selection: instant, seconds, minutes)
  • Range (text or number)
  • Effects (rich text)
  • Material Components (text)
  • Learning Requirements (relationship to Skills)
  • Who Can Cast (relationship to Characters or Classes)

Entity Population

Quickly create multiple entities:

Bulk Generation

  • “Create 10 NPCs for the merchant guild”
  • “Generate 5 locations in the eastern district”
  • “Create weapon entries for all items mentioned in Chapter 3”

Template Variations

  • “Create variants of this character at different ages”
  • “Generate this location in different seasons”
  • “Create similar items with different enchantments”

Hierarchy Population

  • “Fill out this kingdom with appropriate cities, towns, and villages”
  • “Create a full crew roster for this ship”
  • “Generate departments and key personnel for this corporation”

Gap Filling

  • “Find all mentioned but uncreated characters and create basic entries”
  • “Identify locations referenced in scenes without entities and create them”
  • “Create entries for all items characters are described as carrying”

Output Format Design

The AI helps design how content appears:

UI Display

  • Which fields appear in list views
  • Card layout and key information
  • Detail page organization
  • Color coding and icons

Export Templates

  • Document structure and flow
  • Which fields to include/exclude
  • Formatting for each field type
  • Headers, footers, and navigation

Print Layouts

  • Page size and orientation
  • Column layouts
  • Typography choices
  • Image placement rules

Example

You say: “I want NPC entries to export as single-page handouts for my players, showing the name prominently, a description, their role, and any quest hooks, but hiding their secret motivations.”

The AI creates an export template that:

  • Uses a single-page layout
  • Places name in large header text
  • Shows description and role
  • Formats quest hooks as a bulleted list
  • Omits secret motivation and GM notes fields

Relationship Building

Automatically connect your content:

Suggested Relationships Based on content analysis, the AI suggests:

  • “Character A mentions growing up in Location B. Create ‘birthplace’ relationship?”
  • “Item X is described as belonging to Character Y. Create ‘possessed by’ relationship?”
  • “Event A led directly to Event B. Create ‘caused’ relationship?”

Bulk Relationship Creation

  • “Connect all guild members to the Merchant Guild”
  • “Link all scenes in Chapter 3 to their locations”
  • “Create family relationships based on the family tree description”

Relationship Mapping

  • Identify potential connections you haven’t made
  • Suggest relationship types based on content
  • Find orphaned entities that should be connected

Consistency Checking

Keep your project coherent:

Timeline Validation

  • Events occurring in impossible sequences
  • Characters at places before they existed
  • Ages that don’t match birthdates
  • References to future events as past

Geographic Validation

  • Travel times that don’t match distances
  • Locations described as both north and south of another
  • Climate inconsistencies for regions
  • Missing connections between supposedly adjacent places

Character Validation

  • Knowledge of things they shouldn’t know
  • Skills inconsistent with background
  • Personality contradictions across scenes
  • Physical description discrepancies

World Rules Validation

  • Magic system violations
  • Technology anachronisms
  • Social behavior outside established norms
  • Economic impossibilities

How to Use

  1. Run a consistency check on an entity, section, or full project
  2. Review the list of potential issues
  3. For each issue, choose to:
    • Fix it (AI suggests corrections)
    • Mark as intentional (not actually an error)
    • Ignore for now
  4. Optionally run checks automatically when saving

Project Management

Automate administrative tasks:

Organization

  • Categorize and tag entities automatically
  • Identify duplicates or near-duplicates
  • Suggest reorganization for clarity
  • Generate table of contents and indexes

Analysis

  • Word counts and entity statistics
  • Relationship density maps
  • Coverage analysis (what’s well-developed vs. sparse)
  • Progress tracking for writing projects

Bulk Operations

  • Rename entities following a convention
  • Update fields across multiple entities
  • Migrate data between entity types
  • Archive or unarchive groups of entities

Reporting

  • Generate project status summaries
  • Create entity inventories
  • Build relationship reports
  • Export analytics and statistics

Using the AI Effectively

Prompting Tips

Be Specific

Instead of: “Write about the city”

Try: “Write a 200-word description of Ironhaven focusing on what a first-time visitor would notice, emphasizing the contrast between the wealthy upper districts and the industrial waterfront. Include sensory details.”

Reference Existing Content

The AI knows your project, so use it:

  • “Write dialogue between Marcus and Elena about the rebellion, matching their established voices”
  • “Describe this location in the same style as the Silverwood description”
  • “Generate an event that explains how the artifact ended up in the ruins”

Specify Constraints

  • Length: “In 100-150 words…”
  • Tone: “Keep it humorous but not silly…”
  • Format: “As a bulleted list…” or “In first person…”
  • Audience: “For player handout, hide secret information…”

Iterate

Don’t expect perfection on the first try:

  1. Generate initial content
  2. Identify what works and what doesn’t
  3. Regenerate with more specific guidance
  4. Combine the best parts of multiple generations
  5. Edit manually for final polish
