AI writing assist

Skryrún has two AI tools, both powered by your world's actual content. Each Rune you spend draws on your NPCs, factions, locations, and lore — not generic fantasy knowledge.

📝Note

AI tools are available on every tier. Your monthly Rune allowance controls how much you can use: 25 Runes on Chronicler, 100 on Weaver, 600 on Runekeeper. See Pricing and tiers for details.

Your Rune balance

Your current Rune balance is always visible in the dashboard header and in every AI panel before you trigger a generation. If your balance reaches zero, you can either wait for your monthly refresh or pick up a Rune pack from the Runes counter.

Ask Runekeeper

Ask Runekeeper is a chat interface for questions about your world. It draws on your world entities as context when answering.

Open it by clicking Ask Runekeeper in any world toolbar. The panel stays open as you navigate between entity pages.

What it's for

  • "Who has a motive to destabilize this region?"
  • "What do most people in this region believe about the old war?"
  • "Which of my factions have conflicting interests in the northern territories?"

Answers reference your specific NPCs, factions, and locations — not generic fantasy tropes. If the answer involves an entity you haven't built out yet, the Runekeeper will say so rather than invent details.

Seed chips

The panel shows context-aware question chips based on where you are in your world. Click one to send it directly, or use it as a starting point to type a more specific question.

You can customize your seed chips — click the pencil icon next to the chip row to open Seed Template Editor. Add your own prompts (either world-scoped or global), and they'll appear at the top of your chip row.

Format controls

Before sending a message, set the output format for the response:

ControlOptions
LengthBrief · Standard · Rich
ToneDefault · Atmospheric · Functional · Vague

Format preferences are saved to your browser and applied to future messages.

Conversation history

Your Q&A history for each world is saved server-side. Close the panel and continue the conversation in a later session.

AI Generate

AI Generate produces article content for an entity, grounded in your world's lore. It lives in the entity editor rather than the floating panel.

Open an entity, click the AI Generate button in the editor toolbar (the sparkle icon), and choose from the entity-type-aware seed chips, or type your own prompt. The AI uses your world's tone, factions, locations, and NPCs to inform what it generates.

Generated content is a draft — it inserts into the editor where you can revise it before saving.

Format controls

AI Generate has three output controls you can set before generating:

ControlOptions
LengthBrief · Standard · Rich
FormProse · Bullets · Mixed
ToneDefault · Atmospheric · Functional · Vague

These settings are also saved to your browser (shared with Ask Runekeeper preferences).

Your current Rune balance is shown inside the AI panel so you can see what a generation will cost before triggering it.

Improvised NPC generation

On the GM Screen, when you create an improvised NPC on the fly, the AI generates personality, motivation, and appearance details grounded in your world context. You get a usable NPC immediately without breaking the flow of the session.

Generated NPCs are saved to your world as entities. Review and edit them after the session.

AI table seeding

In the Random Tables builder, the AI Seed button generates all table entries based on the table's title and your world's context. A table titled "Rumors in the Dockside Tavern" generates rumors that reference your world's actual factions and events, not placeholder text.

You can edit individual entries after seeding, add more manually, or re-seed the whole table.

Keeping the AI's context current

The AI's knowledge of your world comes from entities you've synced. The Embed button on any entity page updates that entity in the AI's world knowledge. The panel shows when each entity was last synced.

💡Tip

When you make significant changes to an entity — adding a new relationship, rewriting their backstory, changing their faction — re-embed them so the AI's context reflects the update.

📝Note

Entities you haven't synced aren't invisible to the AI, but synced entities provide richer context. Sync the entities that matter most to what you're working on.

Troubleshooting

Ask Runekeeper is giving generic answers, not referencing my world. The AI draws on embedded entities for context. If answers feel generic, embed more of your key entities — the major NPCs, factions, and locations most relevant to your question. Open each entity page and click Embed. Then retry your question.

AI Generate created content about things that don't exist in my world. The AI can occasionally infer details not in your world content. Treat all generated content as a draft — review it before saving. If an invented detail is useful, create the entity it references; if not, delete it from the draft before saving.

I'm out of Runes. Your monthly Rune balance refreshes on your billing date. You can see the refresh date in Settings → Billing. To continue generating before then, purchase a Rune pack from the Runes counter in the dashboard header. Rune packs stack with your monthly allowance.

My Q&A history is empty. Q&A history is saved per world. If you changed worlds or signed out and back in, the history from a previous session may not display. Contact support if you need to retrieve a specific conversation.

The AI Generate button is greyed out. The entity needs a name before AI generation is available — the AI uses the entity name and type to pick relevant seed chips and frame its output.
