Story Bible

Your world. Organized.

Six categories. Updated automatically. Referenced by AI.

What the story bible tracks

Characters: names, traits, arcs, relationships, and every scene they appear in. Locations: settings, descriptions, significance, and which chapters reference them. Plotlines: main plot, subplots, status (active, resolved, foreshadowed).

Worldbuilding: rules, magic systems, technology, culture, history. Timeline: chronological events, dates, sequence verification. Notes: themes, motifs, research, reference material.

Six categories. All maintained as a living document that updates as you write.

Automatic, not manual

Other tools give you blank cards to fill in yourself. Typewriter reads your manuscript and populates the story bible as you write. New character mentioned? It's tracked. Contradicted a detail from chapter 3? It's flagged.

You can always edit, expand, or override what the system finds. But you never start from scratch.

AI uses it for every suggestion

When you ask Typewriter's AI to continue a scene, draft dialogue, or check consistency, it references your entire story bible. Not just the current chapter. The whole world.

This is the difference between an AI that writes generic fiction and one that writes your fiction. Your characters. Your rules. Your voice.

Browse it standalone

The story bible isn't hidden inside the AI. It's a full panel you can open, browse, edit, and reference anytime. Open a character and see every scene they appear in. Open a location and see every chapter that mentions it.

It's the reference document you'd build in a spreadsheet, but it builds itself.
