How to extract information from the chat interface to use in codex entries, beats, and more.

Updated over 6 months ago

One of the most powerful features of the chat interface is the ability to extract from the messages straight into your work. Brainstorming characters? You can take the responses and generate codex entries from them. Want to create story beats? You can take the generated beats and copy them in the format needed for the write interface.

The extract feature makes brainstorming and writing easier and takes away some of the effort required - so a win-win, right?

You can now also extract from snippets, if you already have a lot of the information stored on external documents.

How do I extract content?

In the chat interface, go to the bottom of a message. There in the bottom you can find the extract button.

What can I extract?

There are currently three sections the extract feature feeds into:

  1. Codex Entries (either as new entries or replacing old entries)

  2. Chapters (added at the end of the current outline in the plan interface)

  3. Scene Beats (you will need to paste these into the relevant chapter yourself)

Is specific formatting needed to extract?

The extract feature is designed to be tolerant of different formats, however there are a few limitations. We will update this list as more are found.
