Design Assistant ​

The Design Assistant helps you brainstorm ideas and get design assistance for your project. It provides suggestions and helps refine your project elements, allowing you to focus on your creativity and storytelling.

The Design Assistant knows everything in a user's project and is automatically updated with new additions. It can provide a summary of your project, including key details such as the setting, characters, and scoring system.

ℹ️ On very large projects, the Design Assistant may read data only from the currently open board. When this happens, Arcweave shows a warning message.

Access the Design Assistant ​

The Design Assistant follows the shared AI access requirements.

To access the Design Assistant:

  1. Click on the Design Assistant button (sparkles icon) on the right of the top menu.
  2. Type a question of up to 200 characters about your story or the Arcweave documentation in the chat interface.

ℹ️ Each Design Assistant message costs 1 AI credit from your workspace's monthly allowance. See monthly AI credits by workspace plan.

Interrupt the generation ​

If you want to stop the Design Assistant while it is generating a response, click the stop button (circle icon) to immediately end the generation process.

This is useful if you want to reformulate your question or if the response is going in an unwanted direction. When stopped, your question and the partial response are removed from the conversation, allowing you to start fresh with a new query.

ℹ️ The Assistant can make mistakes, so be sure to verify important information in advance.

Knowledge base ​

Ask the Design Assistant questions about the following topics:

  • Your project and story
  • Arcscript
  • Arcweave functionality
  • Arcweave documentation

Question examples ​

With The Castle (the built-in example project) in mind, here are some examples of questions you could ask the Design Assistant:

  • How can the player find the Crusader's name?
  • Where does the player defeat the Crusader, and how?
  • Where is the element called "Battle?"
  • What is the usage of the health variable, and what is its initial value?
  • Do you have any recommendations on how I can continue the story?
  • Do you find any plot holes?

Please use Arcweave terminology where applicable.
