The Workshop
AI interviews that build your story with you
Answer a series of questions about your characters and your story's shape — Claude synthesizes your answers into a profile you can keep, edit, and export for your own records.
Character Generation
An in-depth interview about the people driving your story — what they want, what's holding them back, and what it costs them to move forward.
Story Arc Creation
Map your story from the ordinary world through the inciting incident, rising stakes, midpoint, climax, and resolution — in your own words.
Start the Story Arc Interview →Setting & World Building
A genre-aware interview: is this present-day Earth or something else? Is there magic, advanced technology, strange creatures? What event shaped this world into what it is?
Start Building Your World →Conflict Building
A genre-aware interview: who is this conflict between, which side is your protagonist on, why is it happening, and is it fought with swords, futuristic weapons, or words?
Start Building Your Conflict →Story Bible
Every saved character, setting, and conflict for one story — with your own notes, an AI-assisted outline or timeline, and a downloadable "everything you need" checklist.
Open the Story Bible →Every tool above lives in your account dashboard and requires signing in — clicking "Start" while signed out will take you to sign-in first, then straight into the tool.
Free accounts get full access to the Workshop for 30 days from sign-up. Starter, Writer, and Author Pro plans include the Workshop permanently. Answering interview questions is always free and unlimited — there's no limit on how many questions a tool asks, and going back to change an earlier answer never costs anything. Only finishing an interview does: that's the single moment your quota is charged, the same shared daily prompt quota as the story prompt generator, and it's always exactly 1 prompt per finished interview regardless of how many questions it had. The Supporting Cast Generator takes this further — it's entirely optional, and generating your whole cast still only ever costs one prompt no matter how many of your up-to-10 characters you build.
The Story Bible's outline, timeline, and checklist generation use a separate Story Bible credit balance — every account gets a 14-day trial (3 free credits), Starter/Writer plans include a monthly credit allowance, Author Pro is unlimited, and anyone can buy extra credit packs any time.
