In a long conversation, there comes a moment when your character starts quietly forgetting their own backstory. The girl who treasured that red notebook yesterday turns around today and asks, "What notebook?" Don't be too hard on yourself — handing an AI a memory is something that feels unfamiliar to everyone at first. The Lorebook is exactly the tool that solves this.
Think of the Lorebook as your character's cheat sheet. It normally sits tucked away in a drawer, but the instant an agreed-upon word pops up in conversation, it quietly slides out and nudges the character: "Oh right, that detail existed." Thanks to this, your character keeps their world, their relationships, and their rules consistent even dozens of turns deep.
The good news first: the Lorebook is open on every plan, and it costs no SP to use. The Free and Silver plans let you create up to 5 entries per character, and upgrading to Gold (or Platinum) opens up far more room — up to 100 entries per character.
A Lorebook is a bundle of notes where you store the information your character needs to remember, organized into Entries. Each entry holds two things.
Content — the actual information you want the character to remember. Things like backstory, relationships, world rules, or an important object or event.
Trigger Keywords — the "spell" that summons that entry. When one of these words shows up in conversation, the entry is automatically slipped into the AI's context.
The key point is that the AI does not read every entry all the time. An entry is pulled out only when a related keyword appears, so no matter how many entries you create, your character's mind never gets buried under a pile of information every turn. Only what's needed, exactly when it's needed — just that much.
Why this matters: the longer a conversation runs, the more the AI forgets earlier content (the context limit). The Lorebook ties your "must-not-forget" core details to keywords, so they resurface every time that word comes up. That's how a character can still remember their secret on turn 200.
The mechanism fits in a single line.
A keyword appears in conversation → the AI checks for matching Lorebook entries → it draws on that content for a more accurate, consistent reply.
For example, say you have an entry with the keyword "red notebook." When you say in chat, "Hey, show me that red notebook," the AI pulls the entry, reads it, and reacts true to the setup: "This is my precious sketchbook — you can't just go looking through it." Don't mention the keyword? Then the entry stays quietly in the drawer, untouched.
Each entry is complete once you fill in the two fields below.
Entry Component | What you write | Tip |
|---|---|---|
Content | One chunk of information for the character to remember (a setup, relationship, rule, object, or event) | One entry = one topic. Don't cram several together |
Trigger Keywords | The words that summon that content (up to 5 per entry) | Lean toward specific words like proper nouns, names, and places |
A keyword is a signal that says, "when this word shows up, pull this memory." That's why it's best to avoid words that are too common. If you use words like "it," "person," or "today" as keywords, the entry gets summoned in almost every conversation — and the information you actually care about gets drowned out right when it matters.
Good keywords:
red notebook,Rina,ruined lighthouse,silver daggerKeywords to avoid:
it,here,friend,story
If this is your first time, just copy the single entry below and build it exactly. Five minutes is plenty.
Entry title: Rina's Notebook
Content:
Rina carries a red leather sketchbook with her wherever she goes. Inside, it's filled with drawings she's made since childhood. She treasures this notebook deeply, and if anyone tries to flip through it without permission, she grows fiercely wary and reacts defensively.
Trigger Keywords: red notebook, sketchbook, drawings, Rina's notebook
Now if you ask in chat, "What's inside that red notebook?", Rina will respond just as set up — treasuring it while staying a little guarded. Here's what just happened: you said a keyword, the AI pulled and read that entry, and answered true to the setup. That's all there is to it.
Plan | Lorebook access | Entries per character |
|---|---|---|
Free | Available | Up to 5 |
Silver | Available | Up to 5 |
Gold | Available | Up to 100 |
Platinum | Available | Up to 100 |
The Lorebook is available on every plan, and it never costs SP to use. The Free and Silver plans let you create up to 5 entries per character, while Gold and Platinum open up far more room — up to 100 entries per character. And on any plan, each entry can hold up to 5 trigger keywords.
Note: the Lorebook itself costs no SP. There's no extra charge to create or use entries. That said, settings like response length (Short/Medium/Long/Extended) or deeper memory (the Memory Dial) can affect what you spend per message. Choosing a longer length is free to set, but a longer reply may use a bit more SP on that message (on premium models; the Default model stays free). For total costs, see the [Related: Story Points & Costs] doc.
With just a little care, you can build a far smarter character out of however many entries your plan allows.
One topic per entry. Don't bundle "Rina's notebook" and "Rina's family history" into a single entry. Split them, and each gets summoned precisely by its own keyword.
Make keywords specific. Choose words that fit only that entry — names, places, objects. Common words cause misfires.
Fill in the must-remember things first. Character identity, core relationships, key locations, important objects, big events — fill them in that order, and you won't lose the substance even within a tight entry limit.
Use words that will actually come up in conversation. No matter how good an entry is, if its keyword never appears in chat, it'll never be summoned. Set your keywords by imagining, "When a user brings up this topic, what words will they use?"
Just remember this: one entry = one topic + specific keywords. Stick to just these two, and your character's memory will improve noticeably.
The Lorebook is your character's cheat sheet — it pulls out a relevant memory only when its keyword appears.
An entry = Content + Trigger Keywords (up to 5).
Entry limits per character are tiered: Free and Silver up to 5, Gold and Platinum up to 100.
Using the Lorebook costs no extra SP (Free/Silver up to 5, Gold/Platinum up to 100 entries per character).
One topic per entry, keywords specific — that's the heart of it.
