Character Tracking
For fiction, Inkloom tracks characters, motivations, knowledge states, relationships, world rules, timeline events, reveals, motifs, and point of view. Each character can have up to 8 reference images for visual consistency across generated covers and illustrations. Character rename propagates across the entire project.
Continuity
Facts are extracted from your chapters into structured records with fact types, entity labels, confidence percentages, and source passages. Proposed facts promote to canonical with one click. Conflicts become cards. Nothing is ever silently resolved.
Context Trace
Every AI-made version in a chapter's History carries a Trace button. One click shows exactly what Inkloom knew when it created that version: the model, the prompt template and its version, the timestamp, and every context item with whether it was always included or retrieved by relevance.
