    Every Character, One Click From the Chapter They Are In

    Characters in Write in a Click live in the Story Hub, a section of the book itself. Each profile has a name, role, kind, nickname, age, gender, background, introduction, tone and a free note. "Draft all from Book" has Robin read every chapter and propose new and updated entries for characters, places, world, glossary, timeline and map pins. You review each one, tick what you want, and nothing is saved until you add it.

    Try It FreeAll Features

    Why This Matters

    By the middle of a novel you know your people too well to remember what you actually wrote about them. Was it grey eyes or green? Is she twenty-six or twenty-eight in chapter three? The Story Hub is where those answers live, one click from the manuscript, and the Proofing Pass can check the prose against them.

    How It Works

    1

    Open the Story Hub

    It is the first item in the book's left sidebar, above the Table of Contents. Characters is one of its sections.

    2

    Fill in a profile

    Name, Role, Kind, Nickname, Age, Gender, Background, Introduction, Tone and a Free Note. Every box has an "Ask Robin" button that tidies rough notes into a clean entry you can edit.

    3

    Or draft from the book

    Press "Draft all from Book" and Robin reads every chapter, then shows you a review window of new entries and updates, each marked "New" or "Update".

    4

    Keep what is right

    Untick anything you do not want and press Add. If you change your mind, undo restores the Story Hub to how it was.

    What a character profile holds

    Role offers Protagonist, Antagonist, Supporting character, Mentor, Love interest and Comic relief. Kind offers Human, Animal, Creature, Android, Spirit and Shapeshifter, which matters more than it sounds once a fantasy cast grows past a dozen. Gender offers Man, Woman, Non-binary and Unknown. The rest are free text: Nickname, Age, Background, Introduction (how the reader first meets them), Tone (how they sound) and a Free Note for anything that does not fit a box.

    The "Ask Robin" button in each box works on what you have already typed. Write "grew up above the bakery, hates the smell of yeast, left at 17" and Robin turns it into a clean paragraph, marked "Robin polished this — edit anything". It needs your rough notes first. It will not invent a character for you.

    The rest of the Story Hub

    Characters sit beside Story World (Overview, Geography, Culture & History, Rules, Timeline), Places (with a type, from City to Ship, plus Description, Atmosphere and History), Maps (upload an image and drop pins), a Timeline of in-world events arranged in lanes, a Glossary, Chapter Notes linked to an act or chapter, and Free Notes.

    A scope switch at the top chooses whose entries you are looking at: This book, This series (when the book is part of one) or Workspace.

    Drafting entries from the manuscript

    Most writers start the Story Hub late, after twenty chapters, when typing it all in by hand is the last thing they want to do. "Draft all from Book" exists for that moment. Robin reads every chapter and drafts new and updated characters, places, world, glossary, timeline and map entries. While it works, the button counts "Drafting... N/M". When it is done, it reads "Review N drafts".

    The review window is titled "Review drafts from your book" and says what it means: "Nothing is saved until you add it. Uncheck anything you don't want." Each section has its own tab, each item shows what would change, and "Select All" and "Deselect All" handle the bulk cases. If the book changed while Robin was reading, it offers "Draft again". If there is nothing new, it says so: "Nothing new to draft — your Story Hub already matches the book." Each section also has its own "Draft from Book" button when you only want one kind of entry.

    Where the profiles earn their keep

    On Premium and Pro, the Proofing Pass reads your prose against the Story Hub. Names in the Story Hub count as correct spellings, and it flags drift ("Elara" becoming "Ellara"), a pronoun or role that contradicts the profile, a trait that changes without reason, and events that break your own timeline. Those findings arrive marked Critical, and like every proofing finding, nothing changes until you accept it.

    Robin, your story partner, reads the Story Hub too, so when you ask what a character already knows, the answer draws on both the chapters and the profile.

    What Each Plan Includes

    PlanWhat you get

    What It Does Not Do

    • There is no relationship map or graph of who knows whom. Relationships go in the text of each profile.
    • The Story Hub does not track which chapters a character appears in.
    • You cannot add custom fields to a character. Use the Free Note.
    • Character and place portraits are not available yet. Map images are the only uploads.
    • You cannot export the Story Hub as a character guide.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can Robin build my character list from the manuscript?

    Yes. "Draft all from Book" reads every chapter and proposes new and updated entries. You see each one in a review window, untick what you do not want, and only then is anything saved.

    What does the Proofing Pass do with my Story Hub?

    Names in the Story Hub count as correct spellings, and contradictions with a profile come back as Canon findings you apply or dismiss.

    Is there a relationship map?

    Not today. Relationships are written in each profile. If a visual map matters to you, a dedicated world-building tool will serve you better for that one job.

    Is the Story Hub free?

    Yes, on every plan. Drafting entries from the book uses your monthly AI budget, which is larger on paid plans.
