Idea Studio overview

Capture stories, characters, locations, props, and shots you can reuse across every app.

Idea Studio is where the written side of a project lives. You collect the material a story is made of — who is in it, where it happens, what appears in frame — and everything you write here is available to the other apps as reference.

Some screens still label this app Creative Tools. It is the same app.

The folders

The six system folders

Every workspace starts Idea Studio with six folders already created:

Folder	What goes in it
Story	Outlines, premises, full scripts
Character	People, with descriptions and reference images
Location	Places and sets
Prop	Objects that appear in frame
Shot	Individual shots, with camera and framing notes
Other	Anything that does not fit the rest

These six are system folders. You cannot rename, delete, or copy them, but you can create your own subfolders inside them.

What an idea holds

Each idea is a card with:

• A type — outline, screenplay, character, location, prop, outfit, scene, shot, or other
• A summary, which is required
• Detailed content in Markdown
• Tags
• An image prompt and a video prompt
• Images and video attached to it
• Free-form metadata

The summary matters more than it looks. When an idea is used as a reference during generation, the summary is what the AI reads.

How you build it up

Build with AI

Turn an outline or a premise into a whole set of ideas at once.

Create and edit ideas

Add ideas one at a time, by hand or with AI help.

Where the ideas go next

An idea is not the end product. From an idea you can:

• Generate images and video in Idea Image Generation, with the idea as reference
• Drag it onto a canvas as a dataset node
• Feed it to the workspace AI chat as context

Clicking an idea’s avatar in detail view jumps you straight into Idea Image Generation with that idea selected.
