Architecture-level blueprint building. One generator per architecture type, living on each hub page.
Every one of the 9 architecture hub pages has an Architecture Generator embedded in it. It sits below the education section — after you've read about how that architecture works — and invites you to build a blueprint for your story using that architecture's principles directly.
It builds at the architecture level. Not structure-specific — architecture-wide. The shape of your story, before you choose which specific structure to use.
Each hub page opens with a full education section — how this architecture works, how time moves in it, how meaning builds, how it resolves. The generator sits below that. You arrive at the tool already understanding the architecture you're about to build with.
The generator's steps are derived from the architecture's own logic — not from any one named structure. Linear Architecture asks about conflict, escalation, and resolution. Web Architecture asks about connections, consequences, and pattern completion. Non-Conflict Architecture asks about juxtaposition, surprise, and recontextualization. Each architecture has its own set of questions.
Each field has a ✦ Assist button. The AI reads your inputs so far and gives a contextual suggestion calibrated to this specific architecture type — not generic writing advice, but suggestions grounded in how this architecture works.
When complete, you generate a full architecture blueprint — your story's shape described in the terms of this architecture. That blueprint tells you exactly what kind of Plotting Tools or World Wizards to go to next, because you now know precisely which architecture type your story is built on.
The AI assist on the Architecture Generator is the same Gemini-powered system used in the Plotting Tools, but calibrated to architecture-level thinking rather than structure-specific steps. When you're working on the Web Architecture generator and ask for an assist on your "connection web" field, the AI's suggestion is shaped by its understanding of how web architecture works — how consequences radiate, how threads connect, how the pattern completes.
It reads everything you've entered so far and gives you a specific suggestion for the field you're on. You are not getting generic writing advice. You are getting architecture-specific structural thinking applied to your specific story.
As with all GriotsWell AI: it suggests, you decide. Nothing is written for you. Everything is yours to shape, use, or ignore entirely.
A complete description of your story at the architectural level — the structural shape, the movement of time, the logic of consequence, the nature of resolution — all in the terms of the architecture you chose.
This is higher-level than a Plotting Tool blueprint. It's the architecture of your story, not the step-by-step structure. Think of it as the foundation before the floor plan — the engineering logic before the room layout.
| Tool | Level | AI Assist | Output | Best used when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Architecture Generator | Architecture type | ✅ Yes | Architecture blueprint | You know the architecture, want to define your story's shape before choosing a specific structure |
| Plotting Tool | Specific structure | ✅ Yes + saves | Full structural blueprint | You know your structure, want the most detailed and assisted build experience |
| World Wizard | Specific structure | ❌ No (self-contained) | Story framework | You want to understand the cultural tradition deeply while building your framework offline |
| Idea Wizard | Architecture type | ❌ N/A (finder) | Architecture type identified | You don't yet know which architecture your story belongs to |
