The preview updates live with the built-in draft - Generate story with AI rewrites it on the page.

• Two writers, one page. Generate story with AI sends your brief to a free AI text API (text.pollinations.ai); Built-in draft writes everything locally in this tab.
• The free API is best-effort. The anonymous tier allows one story every 15 seconds - when the API is busy or limited the page falls back automatically and says so, instead of hanging on a spinner or showing nothing.
• The built-in engine never sleeps. Deterministic patterns (genre vocabulary, a 7-beat arc, tone endings) mean the same brief always gives the same local draft - change any input and the text changes with it.
• Length picks the beats. Flash runs 3 paragraphs (opening, turn, ending), Short runs 5, Long runs the full 7-beat arc - and it is the paragraph count you ask the AI for too.
• Genre brings its vocabulary. Every genre carries its own place, object, threat, motif and action words for the local engine's beats, while the AI gets the genre name in its brief.
• Tone writes the last line. Hopeful, dark, witty and tense each close the local draft differently - the AI receives the tone in its instructions as well.
• Name is optional. Leave it empty and the genre default appears (Fable gives you Wren); your name as typed goes into the title, the story and the AI brief.
• Findings check your brief, not the story's quality - missing idea, ideas over 140 characters, fewer than three words, trailing punctuation or an empty name. No invented scores, no fake ratings.
• Copy or download the result as a plain .txt file - AI text and local drafts export the same way, ready for your editor.
• Nothing is stored. Your brief travels to the API only when you press Generate; built-in drafts never leave this tab, and no page of ours keeps any of it.
• Word, paragraph and reading-time stats are measured from the actual output on screen, whichever writer produced it.
