Features — Every QuillPlot Tool Explained

What it does

• Multi-project dashboard for novels, essays, research papers, and worldbuilding projects
• Create, open, and delete projects from one screen
• Each project stores your main manuscript content plus metadata (type, status, description)

How it works under the hood

Projects are stored as records in your private account database. When you open one, it loads into the Workspace editor where you can write and edit freely. Your work is tied to your account — nobody else can see it unless you're an admin.

What it does

• Chapter generator — draft full chapters from a premise
• Scene builder — construct individual scenes with tone and POV controls
• Dialogue tools — generate character conversations
• Rewrite and expand modes — rework or lengthen existing passages
• Idea generator — break through writer's block

How it works under the hood

You provide an instruction (and optionally paste context, set a tone, or specify a POV). Your input is sent to a backend function that selects a specialized writing template, combines it with your text, and passes it to an AI language model. The model generates a draft and returns it to you for editing. On research-grounded tasks, the model can also pull in real-time web context — but for fiction, it works from your instructions alone.

What it does

• Conversational brainstorming for character backstories, traits, arcs, and relationships
• AI suggests motivations, flaws, and growth paths you might not have considered
• Saves directly to your character entries so nothing is lost

How it works under the hood

You chat with an AI agent in a conversation interface. Each message you send is passed to the AI model along with the conversation history, so the agent remembers context within the session. The agent's suggestions are drafts — you decide what to keep and what to save to your character database.

What it does

• Character profiles with name, role, description, backstory, traits, and relationships
• Organize characters by project so your cast stays with the right story
• AI character builder to help you flesh out details

How it works under the hood

Characters are stored as records linked to your project. The AI builder sends your character premise to the language model and returns a structured draft you can edit and save. Your character entries are private to your account.

What it does

• Lore entries organized by category (location, culture, magic system, history, etc.)
• Link entries to specific projects so each world stays with its story
• AI worldbuilding builder to help you generate and expand lore

How it works under the hood

Each lore entry is a record with a title, category, and content body, stored in your account. The AI builder works the same way as the fiction tools — your instruction goes to the language model, which returns a draft for you to edit and save.

What it does

• Checks characters, plot, timeline, and worldbuilding for internal consistency
• Flags contradictions — like a character being in two places at once, or a timeline that doesn't add up
• Uses your saved entries as the source of truth

How it works under the hood

When you run a continuity check, the tool pulls your saved characters, lore, and project content, packages them as context, and asks the AI model to look for contradictions across all of it. The model returns a list of potential issues. It's only as good as the entries you've saved — the more you put in, the more it can catch.

What it does

• Plot architect — helps you structure your narrative
• Works with your existing project content for context-aware suggestions

How it works under the hood

Like the other AI tools, you provide an instruction and optional context. The backend function sends it to the language model with a plot-structure-focused template, and the model returns a structural draft you can adapt.

What it does

• Front covers, spines, and back covers from your prompts
• Specify title, author, genre, and visual description
• Download or save your generated designs

How it works under the hood

Your prompt (title, genre, visual description) is sent to an AI image generation model. The model creates an image from your description and returns a downloadable file. The quality depends on how descriptive your prompt is — be specific about style, mood, and imagery.

What it does

• Academic writer — helps draft academic content
• Research assistant — grounded with real-time web search for evidence
• Citation generator supporting APA, MLA, and Chicago formats

How it works under the hood

For research tasks, the backend function enables web search context — the AI model can look up real sources before generating output. This grounds the response in actual information rather than generating from training data alone. However, the AI can still make mistakes or fabricate sources. Always verify every citation before submitting your work.

What it does

• Summarizer — condense long text into key points
• Rewriter — rephrase or rework existing content
• Expand — lengthen and add detail to short passages
• Ideas — brainstorm and generate new directions

How it works under the hood

These tools use the same backend pipeline as the fiction suite — your instruction and text go to the language model with a utility-focused template, and a draft comes back for you to edit.
