AI创作助手

什么是AI创作助手?

AI创作助手是zenstory的核心功能,它就像一个懂你的写作伙伴。它能够理解你的故事背景、角色设定和写作风格,为你提供创意灵感、内容生成和智能建议。无论是构思大纲、丰富角色、还是撰写正文,AI都能成为你得力的助手。

与传统写作工具不同,AI创作助手会主动理解你的项目上下文。当你打开某个大纲或草稿时,AI会自动获取相关内容;当你选中一段文字时,AI能基于这段文字进行续写或修改。这种深度理解让创作更加流畅自然。

与AI协作

确认与拒绝

AI的某些操作可能需要你的确认。当AI不确定该如何继续时,会暂停并询问你的意见:

⚠ 等待你的回复
AI需要更多确认才能继续

这时你可以:

  • 提供更多细节让AI继续
  • 修改之前的指令
  • 发送"继续"让AI按自己的判断进行

撤销操作

如果AI编辑了文件但你不太满意,可以撤销这次修改:

  1. 在工具结果卡片中找到"撤销"按钮
  2. 点击后,AI的修改会被回滚到编辑前的版本
  3. 撤销后你可以要求AI重新生成

注意: 撤销功能仅对最近的编辑有效,如果之后又有新的编辑,之前的编辑可能无法撤销。

多轮对话

你可以和AI进行多轮对话,逐步完善内容:

示例流程:

你: 帮我设计一个反派角色
AI: [生成角色设定]
你: 让他更复杂一些,给一个悲惨的童年
AI: [修改并补充背景]
你: 现在基于这个角色,写一段他的出场
AI: [生成正文片段]

AI会记住对话历史,理解上下文关系。你可以随时追问、修改或要求重新生成。

上下文管理

AI会自动获取和使用项目的上下文信息,但你也可以主动管理这些上下文。

当前编辑文件

当你打开某个文件(大纲、角色、设定、草稿)时,AI会自动将其作为"焦点文件":

  • 自动传递: 你发送消息时,AI会收到当前文件的内容
  • 上下文理解: AI能基于当前文件进行续写、修改或扩展

使用场景:

  • 打开大纲 → 让AI帮你完善章节结构
  • 打开角色卡 → 让AI扩展人物性格
  • 打开草稿 → 让AI续写或优化正文

引用素材

除了当前文件,你还可以附加其他素材作为参考:

操作方法:

  1. 在左侧文件树中右键点击文件
  2. 选择"附加到对话"
  3. 文件会显示在输入框上方的附件区域

最多可附加5个文件,AI会在处理时参考这些内容。

适用场景:

  • 参考多个角色设定写群戏
  • 基于世界观设定进行创作
  • 保持前后章节的风格一致

引用文本

如果你想针对某段具体文字让AI处理,可以引用文本:

操作方法:

  1. 在编辑器中选中一段文字
  2. 点击"引用"按钮(或使用快捷键)
  3. 选中的文字会显示在输入框上方

最多可引用5段文本,每段文本会记录来源文件。

使用场景:

  • "优化这段对话的节奏"
  • "把这段描写改得更生动"
  • "基于这段设定进行扩展"

新建会话

如果你想开始一个全新的对话,可以新建会话:

  1. 点击聊天面板标题栏的"+"按钮
  2. 当前会话的历史消息会被清空
  3. AI会开始一个新的对话上下文

何时需要新建会话:

  • 切换到完全不同的创作任务
  • 之前的对话内容干扰了新的需求
  • 想要AI"忘记"之前的讨论

注意: 新建会话不会删除历史记录,你仍可以在对话历史中找到之前的会话。

对话历史

AI会保存你的对话历史,每次打开项目时会自动加载最近的50条消息。

历史记录特点:

  • 跨设备同步(登录同一账号)
  • 包含完整的工具调用和结果
  • 支持向上滚动查看更早的消息

如需查看完整历史:

  • 在数据库中保存了所有消息
  • 可以通过后端API查询完整记录

使用技巧

1. 描述要具体

模糊的指令会让AI难以理解你的意图。

不好的例子:

"写一段打斗"

更好的例子:

"写一段两个剑客在雨夜的对决,要突出主角的劣势和反击的果断,风格要冷峻凌厉"

具体描述包括:

  • 角色是谁
  • 在什么场景
  • 发生了什么
  • 想要什么风格
  • 需要什么效果

2. 提供足够的背景信息

虽然AI会自动获取上下文,但主动提供关键信息效果更好:

示例:

"基于刚才设计的反派角色,结合世界观中的'魔修'设定,写一段他首次出场的场景。要求让读者感到威胁,但又保留一些神秘感。"

关键信息:

  • 明确引用了之前的角色设计
  • 指出了世界观中的具体设定
  • 说明了想要的叙事效果

3. 善用引用功能

引用功能能让AI精确知道你要处理的内容:

场景示例:

  • 在草稿中选中一段对话 → 引用 → "把这段对话改得更符合角色的阴阳怪气"
  • 在设定中选中一条规则 → 引用 → "基于这个设定,设计一个相关的剧情冲突"

引用比口头描述更准确,AI能直接看到原文。

4. 分步骤完成复杂任务

对于复杂的创作任务,拆分成多步效果更好:

示例:

第一步: 帮我设计一个修仙世界的等级体系
第二步: 基于这个体系,创建主角的修炼进度表
第三步: 现在根据这个进度表,规划前三卷的大纲
第四步: 为第一卷写出详细的章节大纲

这样做的好处:

  • 每一步AI都能专注于当前任务
  • 你可以及时调整方向
  • 最终结果更符合预期

5. 利用AI记忆功能

AI会记住项目的关键信息(可在"AI记忆"中查看和编辑):

AI记忆包括:

  • 项目摘要
  • 当前创作阶段
  • 写作风格偏好
  • 重要的备注信息

如何利用:

  • 定期更新项目摘要,让AI了解整体进度
  • 在备注中记录特殊要求
  • AI会基于记忆提供更贴合的建议

6. 混合使用多种交互方式

最高效的工作流通常结合多种方式:

推荐流程:

  1. 打开要编辑的文件(自动传递上下文)
  2. 附加相关的设定文件(主动引用素材)
  3. 选中需要优化的段落(精确引用文本)
  4. 输入具体的修改要求(明确指令)

这样AI能获得最完整的上下文,给出最精准的帮助。

常见问题

Q: AI会自动保存我写的内容吗?

A: 当AI创建或编辑文件时,会自动保存到数据库。每次重要修改后都会创建版本快照,你可以随时回退到之前的版本。

Q: 为什么AI有时会"忘记"之前说的内容?

A: AI的上下文窗口有限制。如果对话非常长,较早的内容可能不在当前的上下文中。解决方法:

  • 使用"引用"功能重新提供关键信息
  • 新建会话,重新明确当前任务

Q: AI的回复中断了怎么办?

A: 可能原因:

  • 网络中断:刷新页面重试
  • 内容太长:让AI分多次生成
  • 系统超时:稍后再试

你可以发送"继续"让AI从中断处继续。

Q: 如何让AI更好地理解我的风格?

A:

  • 在项目设置中明确写作风格
  • 让AI分析你已有的作品片段
  • 在指令中明确风格要求(如"用古龙的风格")

Q: AI能直接修改文件而不经过我确认吗?

A: 是的,AI默认可以直接编辑文件。但每次编辑都会:

  • 创建版本快照,支持一键撤销
  • 显示详细的编辑差异
  • 你可以在设置中调整为"需确认"模式

AI创作助手是你最懂你的写作伙伴。掌握这些使用技巧,让创作事半功倍。现在就试试开始你的第一次对话吧!

AI Creative Assistant

What is the AI Creative Assistant?

The AI Creative Assistant is zenstory's core feature. It acts like a writing partner who understands you. It can comprehend your story background, character settings, and writing style, providing creative inspiration, content generation, and intelligent suggestions. Whether you're constructing outlines, enriching characters, or writing drafts, the AI serves as your capable assistant.

Unlike traditional writing tools, the AI Creative Assistant actively understands your project context. When you open an outline or draft, the AI automatically retrieves relevant content; when you select a passage of text, the AI can continue or modify based on that text. This deep understanding makes the creative process more fluid and natural.

Starting a Conversation

Entering Creative Requests

[Screenshot: Chat input box at the bottom right of the interface]

Example inputs:

  • "Help me design a dramatic backstory for the female protagonist"
  • "Based on the current outline, continue writing the beginning of Chapter 3"
  • "Optimize this dialogue to make the character's personality more distinct"

The input box supports multi-line text, so you can describe your needs in detail. Press Enter to send a message, press Shift + Enter for a new line.

Using Suggestion Prompts

[Screenshot: Suggestion bubbles above the input box]

If you don't know where to start, you can click the suggestion prompts above the input box. These prompts are dynamically generated based on your project status, helping you quickly initiate conversations.

Prompt types:

  • New Project Guidance - When a project is just created, provides suggestions for creating outlines, characters, and other basic content
  • AI Smart Suggestions - The AI generates relevant follow-up suggestions based on your recent conversation content

How to use:

  • Click any suggestion bubble to automatically fill the content into the input box
  • Click the refresh button to get new suggestions
  • Press Tab to quickly adopt the first suggestion

Voice Input

AI Responses

Thinking Process

[Screenshot: Collapsible thinking process panel with expand/collapse arrow]

When the AI processes complex tasks, it first displays the thinking process. This content is shown in a semi-transparent style, expanded by default, and you can click the title bar to collapse it.

The thinking process includes:

  • AI's understanding of the task
  • Planned steps to take
  • Context factors considered

The thinking process helps you understand the AI's reasoning logic and makes the creative process more transparent.

Creative Results

[Screenshot: Main content area of AI output]

The AI's main response is displayed in a clear format, supporting:

  • Markdown formatting - Headers, lists, bold, etc.
  • Code blocks - If format examples are involved
  • Real-time streaming output - You can see the AI generate content character by character

Tool Operations

[Screenshot: Tool result card showing file operation status and details]

When the AI performs specific operations (such as creating files, editing content), tool result cards are displayed:

Creating files:

✓ Created Outline "Chapter 1"

Editing files:

✓ Edit Complete "Chapter 3"
[View Edit Details ▼]

Click "View Edit Details" to see:

  • Deleted content (red background)
  • Added content (green background)
  • Operation type (replace/insert/append/delete)

Querying files:

✓ Found 3 related files
- Character "Li Ming"
- Lore "Worldbuilding - Cultivation System"
- Outline "Volume 1"

Collaborating with AI

Confirmation and Rejection

Some AI operations may require your confirmation. When the AI is uncertain how to proceed, it will pause and ask for your input:

[Screenshot: Workflow waiting for confirmation status prompt]

⚠ Waiting for Your Response
AI needs more confirmation to continue

At this point you can:

  • Provide more details for the AI to continue
  • Modify previous instructions
  • Send "continue" to let the AI proceed at its discretion

Undoing Operations

If the AI edited a file but you're not satisfied, you can undo the modification:

[Screenshot: Undo button in the edit result card]

  1. Find the "Undo" button in the tool result card
  2. After clicking, the AI's modification will be rolled back to the pre-edit version
  3. After undoing, you can ask the AI to regenerate

Note: The undo function only works for recent edits. If new edits have been made since, previous edits may not be undoable.

Multi-turn Conversations

You can have multi-turn conversations with the AI to gradually refine content:

Example flow:

You: Help me design an antagonist character
AI: [Generates character profile]
You: Make them more complex, give them a tragic childhood
AI: [Modifies and adds background]
You: Now based on this character, write their entrance scene
AI: [Generates narrative excerpt]

The AI remembers conversation history and understands contextual relationships. You can follow up, modify, or request regeneration at any time.

Context Management

The AI automatically retrieves and uses project context information, but you can also actively manage this context.

Current Editing File

When you open a file (outline, character, lore, draft), the AI automatically sets it as the "focus file":

[Screenshot: File opened in editor showing file title]

  • Auto-transmission: When you send a message, the AI receives the current file's content
  • Context understanding: The AI can continue, modify, or expand based on the current file

Use cases:

  • Open an outline → Let the AI help you refine chapter structure
  • Open a character card → Let the AI expand the character's personality
  • Open a draft → Let the AI continue or optimize the content

Referencing Materials

In addition to the current file, you can attach other materials as references:

[Screenshot: "Attach to Conversation" option in the file tree context menu]

How to use:

  1. Right-click a file in the left file tree
  2. Select "Attach to Conversation"
  3. The file will appear in the attachments area above the input box

Maximum of 5 files can be attached, and the AI will reference this content when processing.

Suitable scenarios:

  • Reference multiple character profiles when writing ensemble scenes
  • Create based on worldbuilding settings
  • Maintain consistent style across chapters

Referencing Text

If you want the AI to handle specific text, you can quote it:

[Screenshot: "Quote" button appearing after selecting text in the editor]

How to use:

  1. Select a passage of text in the editor
  2. Click the "Quote" button (or use keyboard shortcut)
  3. The selected text will appear above the input box

Maximum of 5 text passages can be quoted, each recording the source file.

Use cases:

  • "Optimize the pacing of this dialogue"
  • "Make this description more vivid"
  • "Expand based on this setting"

Starting a New Session

[Screenshot: "+" button in the chat panel title bar]

If you want to start a completely new conversation, you can create a new session:

  1. Click the "+" button in the chat panel title bar
  2. The current session's message history will be cleared
  3. The AI will start a new conversation context

When to start a new session:

  • Switching to a completely different creative task
  • Previous conversation content is interfering with new requests
  • Wanting the AI to "forget" previous discussions

Note: Starting a new session does not delete history. You can still find previous sessions in the conversation history.

Conversation History

The AI saves your conversation history, automatically loading the most recent 50 messages each time you open a project.

History features:

  • Cross-device sync (log in to the same account)
  • Includes complete tool calls and results
  • Supports scrolling up to view earlier messages

To view complete history:

  • All messages are saved in the database
  • Can query complete records through the backend API

Usage Tips

1. Be Specific in Your Descriptions

Vague instructions make it difficult for the AI to understand your intent.

Poor example:

"Write a fight scene"

Better example:

"Write a duel between two swordsmen on a rainy night, emphasizing the protagonist's disadvantage and decisive counterattack, with a cold and sharp style"

Specific descriptions include:

  • Who are the characters
  • What is the setting
  • What happens
  • What style do you want
  • What effect do you need

2. Provide Sufficient Background Information

Although the AI automatically retrieves context, actively providing key information works better:

Example:

"Based on the antagonist character just designed, combined with the 'demon cultivator' setting in the worldbuilding, write their first entrance scene. Make the reader feel threatened while maintaining some mystery."

Key information:

  • Explicitly referenced the previous character design
  • Pointed out specific settings in the worldbuilding
  • Explained the desired narrative effect

3. Make Good Use of the Quote Feature

The quote feature lets the AI know exactly what content you want to handle:

Scenario examples:

  • Select a dialogue in a draft → Quote → "Make this dialogue more consistent with the character's sarcastic tone"
  • Select a rule in the lore → Quote → "Based on this setting, design a related plot conflict"

Quoting is more accurate than verbal description; the AI can see the original text directly.

4. Complete Complex Tasks Step by Step

For complex creative tasks, breaking them into steps works better:

Example:

Step 1: Help me design a cultivation world's ranking system
Step 2: Based on this system, create the protagonist's cultivation progress table
Step 3: Now based on this progress table, plan the outline for the first three volumes
Step 4: Write detailed chapter outlines for Volume 1

Benefits of this approach:

  • The AI can focus on the current task in each step
  • You can adjust direction in time
  • Final results better match expectations

5. Leverage AI Memory

The AI remembers key project information (can be viewed and edited in "AI Memory"):

[Screenshot: Database icon button in title bar, clicking shows project status dialog]

AI Memory includes:

  • Project summary
  • Current creative stage
  • Writing style preferences
  • Important notes

How to leverage:

  • Regularly update project summary to keep the AI informed of overall progress
  • Record special requirements in notes
  • The AI provides more tailored suggestions based on memory

6. Combine Multiple Interaction Methods

The most efficient workflow typically combines multiple methods:

Recommended flow:

  1. Open the file to edit (auto-transmit context)
  2. Attach relevant setting files (actively reference materials)
  3. Select the paragraph to optimize (precise text quoting)
  4. Enter specific modification requirements (clear instructions)

This gives the AI the most complete context and provides the most precise assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will the AI automatically save my content?

A: When the AI creates or edits files, they are automatically saved to the database. A version snapshot is created after each important modification, and you can roll back to previous versions at any time.

Q: Why does the AI sometimes "forget" what was said before?

A: The AI's context window has a limit. If a conversation is very long, earlier content may not be in the current context. Solutions:

  • Use the "quote" feature to re-provide key information
  • Start a new session and re-clarify the current task

Q: What if the AI's response is interrupted?

A: Possible reasons:

  • Network interruption: Refresh the page and retry
  • Content too long: Ask the AI to generate in multiple parts
  • System timeout: Try again later

You can send "continue" to let the AI continue from where it was interrupted.

Q: How can I make the AI better understand my style?

A:

  • Specify writing style in project settings
  • Let the AI analyze excerpts of your existing work
  • Clearly state style requirements in instructions (e.g., "in the style of Hemingway")

Q: Can the AI directly modify files without my confirmation?

A: Yes, the AI can directly edit files by default. But each edit:

  • Creates a version snapshot with one-click undo support
  • Displays detailed edit differences
  • You can adjust to "require confirmation" mode in settings
