World and book settings

Set the guidance and time conventions for a world, customize its ontology, and keep book-specific planning settings separate.

World settings

World-level settings apply to the shared setting. They include its name, premise, standing guidance for the assistant, and the unit used for numeric world time.

Write guidance as a clear preference, such as “Preserve ambiguity in supernatural explanations” or “Ask before inventing a new faction.” Guidance helps the assistant, but you should still inspect its changes.

Use one time unit consistently across dated entries. Changing the unit label does not automatically convert all existing numeric dates.

Ontology

Ontology lists the kinds of entries and relationships the world uses. Start with the built-in types. Add a custom type only when it represents a meaningful distinction in your world.

An entry type defines a category; an individual entry is one member of it. “Spaceship” can be a custom type, while “The Wayfarer” is an entry.

Book settings

Each book has its own title, genre, audience, word goal, and order. These are separate from the shared world premise and bible. Use the book’s Settings tab and save changes explicitly.

Appearance

The interface follows the operating system’s light or dark appearance. Browser zoom can make text and controls larger.
