Character & Setting Description Builder

Drop in the notes you have on a character, a place or an item, and the reference images you have been collecting. It writes the description those already support, and tells you what they still leave open.

What are you describing?
Reference images (optional, up to 3)

Read for how the subject looks. They are sent with this one request and not stored.

Getting a description you can keep

Paste the contradictions too

Where your notes disagree with themselves, the draft keeps both readings visible instead of quietly picking one. That is usually the decision you have been avoiding.

Images answer looks, not story

A reference picture settles hair, build, light and texture. It cannot tell anyone what this person wants — so say that in the notes, or it will show up in the gap.

One subject at a time

Notes covering a whole cast produce a description of nobody. Run the protagonist, then their sister, then the house.

Read the gap first

The line about what your notes do not settle is the most useful part of the answer. It is the next thing worth deciding.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of images can I use?

Reference photographs, sketches, character art, mood shots, a room you are borrowing the light from — up to three. They are read for appearance and physical detail, not treated as scenes from your story.

Will it invent details my notes do not have?

No. It is instructed to use only what the material establishes, never to resolve a question the notes leave open, and to name what is still missing rather than fill it in.

Can I describe a place or an object, not a person?

Yes. Pick the subject at the top. A place is described by what it looks, sounds and smells like, who is allowed there and what breaking its rules costs; an item by what it is, where it came from, and what using it costs.

Are my images stored?

No. They are sent with this one request so the model can read them, and are not kept. Nothing is saved to an account, because this tool does not need one.

Describe the character your story already knows

Inside Talebuddy the same pass reads the character's page, the facts settled in your ledger, what you attached to them and every line elsewhere that mentions them — so the description comes from the whole story rather than one paste.
