The short version: describe a situation, press go, and steer.

1. Describe the situation

Write a few sentences about where you are, who you are, and what's happening. Don't over-plan it — you can add lore later, and you can edit anything the AI writes.

2. Pick a model

The free model is genuinely usable. Paid models write with more nuance and hold characters together better over long stories. The model browser shows what each one costs.

3. Play a few scenes

Type what you do or say. The AI writes what happens next. If a scene goes wrong, redo it — that costs a generation but not your story.

4. Fix things as you go

Characters, locations and their descriptions are all editable, and those descriptions are what images are generated from. If someone looks wrong, edit the description rather than re-rolling.

5. Export when you care about it

Stories live in your browser, not on our servers. Export gives you a file you can keep or move to another device.

Note: that privacy is deliberate — nobody here can read your stories — but it does mean backups are yours to make.
