Chat with References
You can reference materials from the same project to give AI more context.
(1) Referencing Documents
Click the @ button to select documents to reference.
In AI Chat, you can ask questions while referencing multiple materials from the same project, such as:
drafts (documents)
Characters
Plot
By referencing previous chapters, the overall story structure, research materials, or world-building notes,
AI can better understand the context and help maintain consistent scenes and character development.
You can quickly select recently opened documents,
or search to find and add other documents from the project.
