To allow full flexibility, Novelcrafter allows you to create your own custom prompts for the AI to use. This unlocks full creative freedom over the content you want to generate.

Types of prompts

Novelcrafter allows you to create custom prompts for:

  1. Scene Beat Completion
  2. Scene Summarization
  3. Text Replacements (sometimes called “Laser Tools” by other platforms)
  4. Workshop Chats

Scene Beat Completion

These take the scene beat, and its surrounding context into account to generate the prose based on the provided idea.

Scene Summarization

Summarizes your scenes into a concise, condensed version (80 words, when using the system prompt). Access this in the actions menu for a scene in both the plan interface and manuscript.

Scene Summarization

Text Replacement

You can ask the AI to expand on ideas, shorten prose, increase tension, and more.

Workshop Chat

These are custom chat assistants you can use to help you write your story. They can help you brainstorm ideas, develop your characters, or analyze your writing.

Think of these as a super-powered chatGPT or claude.AI, where the AI will pull from any codex entries or context that you provide it.
