Best Practices for AI Story Generation
Tips to get the most out of your AI-generated stories
✨ Be Specific with Prompts
Instead of "write a story about a hero," try "write a thrilling adventure about a reluctant archaeologist who discovers an ancient artifact that grants time-travel powers in 1920s Egypt."
Specific prompts with setting, conflict, and tone generate richer narratives.
🎭 Develop Rich Characters
Give your characters depth by defining not just their role, but their motivations, flaws, and backstory. A "brave knight" becomes more interesting as a "disgraced knight seeking redemption after a past failure."
Complex characters lead to more engaging, emotionally resonant stories.
🔄 Iterate and Refine
Don't settle for the first generation. Adjust your characters, refine your prompt, and regenerate to explore different narrative directions. Each iteration can reveal new creative possibilities.
The best stories often come from multiple generations and refinements.
📝 Use as a Starting Point
Treat AI-generated stories as creative springboards. Add your own voice, expand scenes, develop subplots, and polish the dialogue. The AI provides the foundation; you bring it to life.
Human creativity + AI efficiency = exceptional storytelling.
