Storychat User Guide

A Lorebook is a memory-boost feature that helps your Character stay consistent over long conversations.

You store important facts as separate Lorebook Entries, then add Trigger Keywords for each entry.

When those keywords appear during chat, Storychat automatically surfaces the matching entry and the AI uses it as background context while generating the next reply.

In other words:

  • Keyword appears in chat → AI checks the matching Lorebook content → replies with better memory and consistency

  1. Create a Lorebook Entry (a memory note)

  2. Add up to 5 Trigger Keywords

  3. When a user mentions any of those keywords in chat, the entry activates

  4. The AI uses that entry to answer more accurately and consistently

Lorebook Entry

Each entry is one “memory chunk.”

Use multiple entries to organize different facts (backstory, relationships, locations, rules, secrets, etc.).

This is the actual information you want the Character to remember.

Write it clearly, like a reference note the AI can consult when needed.

Good examples of Content:

  • Stable facts (identity, habits, relationships)

  • World settings (places, organizations, rules)

  • Important objects (items, artifacts, passwords)

  • Story constraints (“Never reveal X” / “Always call the user Y”)

These are the “activation words.”

When a trigger keyword appears in the chat (exact or very close match), the corresponding Content is pulled into the AI’s context.

Tips:

  • Use specific nouns (names, places, unique items)

  • Add common variants if needed (nickname / full name)

  • Keep keywords minimal but high-signal (don’t add generic words like “good” or “hello”)

Lorebook Entry: “Lina’s Notebook”

Content

“Lina always carries a red notebook filled with sketches. She uses it to capture ideas before they disappear. If someone asks about it, she becomes protective and says it’s private.”

Trigger Keywords (up to 5)

  • red notebook

  • Lina’s notebook

  • sketches

  • idea notebook

  • notebook

What happens in chat

  • User: “Why do you keep that red notebook with you?”

  • The keyword “red notebook” triggers the entry

  • The AI pulls the Content and replies consistently:

    “Don’t touch it. It’s… personal. I write things down before they vanish.”

  • Up to 5 Lorebook Entries per Character

  • Up to 100 Lorebook Entries per Character

  • This enables near “infinite” world detail and long-running continuity

  • Split memories into small entries (one topic per entry)

  • Use strong keywords that will naturally show up in conversation

  • Add entries for:

    • Character identity + rules

    • Relationships + nicknames

    • Locations + factions

    • Key items + recurring plot points
