Subtxt AI Tools
Subtxt offers a suite of four AI-powered tools designed to enhance every stage of your storytelling process. These tools integrate decades of narrative expertise, providing structure, inspiration, and refinement to help you craft compelling stories. The available tools include:
- NarrativeSync: Aligns your ideas with the underlying Storyform, ensuring every Storypoint and Storybeat stays thematically consistent.
- DevelopAI: Works with Subtxt Muse to provide personalized story development guidance.
- ReviewAI: Analyzes and offers feedback to refine your storytelling.

NarrativeSync
NarrativeSync helps you generate and refine ideas while ensuring they remain in sync with your Storyform. Whether you're working on a Storypoint, Storybeat, or Throughline, NarrativeSync ensures your creative process aligns with the deeper structure of your story.
You'll find NarrativeSync beneath the Storytelling box in each section of your narrative. Represented by a digital brain icon, this tool generates ideas that fit seamlessly into your existing framework.
Using NarrativeSync
- Syncing Your Ideas
Click the NarrativeSync button to open the Ideas drawer. If the box is empty, NarrativeSync will generate suggestions based on the underlying Storyform, ensuring your ideas maintain structural integrity. - Customizing Inputs
Add your own concepts, character names, or themes to refine the output. NarrativeSync incorporates your input while keeping your ideas aligned with the story’s narrative structure. - Iterating and Refining
Use NarrativeSync multiple times to generate variations, helping you explore different ways of expressing a Storypoint or Storybeat while staying within the thematic framework. - Integrating Content
Click Add to transfer generated content directly into the Storytelling box, ensuring your ideas stay connected to the larger narrative. - Exploring Alternatives
Request multiple variations to explore different ways a Storypoint or Storybeat could be framed within the context of your Storyform.
The NarrativeSync Factor
At the top right of the screen, the NarrativeSync Factor slider allows you to control the tool’s level of creative divergence:
- Sliding toward Most Probable ensures ideas remain tightly structured and thematically grounded.
- Sliding toward Most Impossible encourages more unconventional and boundary-pushing suggestions.
The slider is also available in Writings > Preferences, where it influences all Narrative Agent outputs.
DevelopAI
DevelopAI is your portal to working directly with Subtxt Muse for expert advice on developing and refining story elements. Located between the NarrativeSync button and the Storytelling box, DevelopAI enhances your storytelling with real-time, tailored support.

Features of SubtextAI

DevelopAI is also accessible from SubtextAI, enabling you to explore and expand upon the detailed insights provided.
Cascading Context: How Subtxt AI Generates Content
Subtxt AI tools rely on a cascading fallback process to create contextually accurate and thematically relevant content. This process ensures the AI uses the most detailed information available, falling back to broader sources when necessary.
Hierarchy of Cascading Context
- Storypoint Synopsis
The most specific and detailed information available, located at the top of the Storypoints tab. This is the primary source for generation. - Throughline Perspective
If no Storypoint Synopsis is available, Subtxt falls back to the description of the relevant Throughline. - Logline
If neither of the above exists, the AI defaults to the overarching logline for guidance.
Example of Storybeat Generation
When generating Storybeats, Subtxt will:
- First, pull from the Storypoint Synopsis for precise guidance.
- If unavailable, it will use the Throughline Perspective to maintain a narrower focus.
- As a last resort, it will rely on the Logline, drawing from the broadest context of your story.
This structured fallback ensures that Subtxt tools adapt to varying levels of story detail, always aiming to produce coherent and aligned outputs.
Behind the Scenes: The Power of Subtxt AI
Subtxt AI combines cutting-edge technology with a deep understanding of narrative principles.
- NarrativeSync relies on existing Storytelling to provide informed, tailored suggestions. If no specific context is available, it uses a general narrative framework for guidance.
- Subtxt Muse builds upon NarrativeSync with additional resources, including decades of narrative research, user insights, and successful story examples. Muse’s comprehensive capabilities enable it to deliver nuanced and context-rich responses.
Whether you are brainstorming ideas, refining story elements, or seeking expert feedback, Subtxt AI tools adapt to your needs, providing creative support every step of the way.
