Create and edit ideas

Add an idea by hand or with AI, and fill in its type, summary, tags, and prompts.

Adding an idea

Select the folder you want it in, then click New idea in the left toolbar.

The dialog asks for a name and a type. The type is guessed from the folder you are in, so an idea created inside Character starts as a character.

From there you have two paths:

Quick create

Turn on Quick create to skip AI entirely and save the idea with just a name and type. Fill in the rest later.

With AI

Pick a reference outline or screenplay, describe what you want, and optionally attach a file (.docx, .pdf, .txt, .md, or an image — drag or paste it in). The AI drafts the idea for you.

The idea form

The idea form

Whether you are creating or editing, the form has the same fields.

Field	Notes
Selected image	Choose which attached image is the cover
Type	Outline, screenplay, character, location, prop, outfit, scene, shot, or other — or type your own
Title
Summary	Required. This is what AI reads when the idea is used as a reference
Detailed content	Markdown
Tags	Free text
Image prompt	With an AI generate button to draft one for you
Video prompt	Same

Write the summary as if you were briefing someone who has never seen the project. “Tall, weathered fisherman in his sixties, always in a faded blue coat” gives the model far more to work with than “the fisherman”.

Editing later

Open an idea and use Edit at the bottom of the detail view. The same form opens with the current values.

To delete, use Delete in the same place. Deletion asks for confirmation.

Duplicating

Right-click an idea in the file tree and choose Copy. The duplicate is named with a “copy” suffix and lands in the same folder.

System folders cannot be renamed, deleted, or copied — only the ideas inside them.
