Build complex, believable characters
Help me create a deep, multi-dimensional character for my [genre] story. Role in story: [protagonist / antagonist / supporting] Setting: [time period and world] Core conflict: [what the story is about] Initial character concept: [brief sketch of who they are] Build this character: 1. A backstory that explains their core motivation (what they want and WHY) 2. Their fatal flaw — the internal weakness that creates the story's tension 3. A contradiction that makes them feel real (e.g. brave but terrified of vulnerability) 4. 5 specific mannerisms, speech patterns, or habits that reveal personality 5. Their relationship to 2-3 other characters and what each relationship reveals 6. A character arc: who they are at the start vs. who they become by the end
הכי טוב ל: CLAUDE
Claude creates the most psychologically nuanced characters with genuine internal contradictions. Its characters feel like real people rather than collections of traits, and it builds backstories that organically drive motivation.

טיפים מקצועיים
Give your character a secret they keep from everyone, including the reader until the right moment. Characters with secrets behave in ways that create natural mystery and tension. Tell the AI the secret and ask it to show how it affects behavior.
Structure a compelling story arc
Help me structure a plot for my [genre] story. Premise: [one-sentence story concept] Main character: [brief description] Setting: [where and when] Length: [short story / novella / novel] Tone: [dark / humorous / literary / thriller / heartwarming] Build the plot structure: 1. The hook: an opening scene that drops the reader into action or intrigue 2. The inciting incident: the event that disrupts the character's normal world 3. Rising action: 3-4 escalating complications that raise the stakes 4. The midpoint twist: a revelation that changes everything 5. The crisis: the moment the character must make an impossible choice 6. Resolution: how the story ends (and what remains deliberately unresolved)
הכי טוב ל: CHATGPT
ChatGPT generates the most inventive plot structures with surprising midpoint twists. It balances predictability and surprise well, creating story beats that feel inevitable in hindsight but unexpected in the moment.

טיפים מקצועיים
Write your ending before your middle. If you know where the story lands, every scene becomes a brick in that path. Writers who 'discover' their ending usually discover it's unsatisfying because it wasn't earned.
Write natural, revealing dialogue
Help me write a dialogue scene between [number] characters. Characters involved: - [Character A]: [personality, mood, goal in this scene] - [Character B]: [personality, mood, goal in this scene] Scene context: [where they are and what just happened] Subtext: [what's really being discussed beneath the surface] Tension level: [low / simmering / explosive] Write the scene with: 1. Distinct voice for each character (different sentence length, vocabulary, rhythm) 2. Subtext — what they mean vs. what they say 3. Action beats between dialogue lines (not just 'he said / she said') 4. At least one moment where a character avoids answering directly 5. An emotional shift: the conversation should feel different at the end than the start 6. A closing line that lingers with the reader
הכי טוב ל: CLAUDE
Claude writes the most authentic dialogue with distinct character voices and masterful subtext. Its characters talk past each other, interrupt, and avoid the truth the way real people do.

טיפים מקצועיים
Read your dialogue out loud. If it sounds like a written essay, it's not dialogue. Real people use fragments, trail off, repeat themselves, and start sentences they never finish. AI dialogue is too grammatically perfect by default — tell it to add imperfections.
Create immersive fictional worlds
Help me build a world for my [genre] story. Core concept: [what makes this world different from ours] Time period feel: [medieval / modern / futuristic / timeless] Scale: [a single city / a country / an entire planet / a multiverse] Magic/technology: [what rules apply — or what rules don't] Themes: [what ideas this world is designed to explore] Build the world: 1. The 3 rules that define how this world works differently from ours 2. Social structure: who has power and why (and who doesn't) 3. History: one pivotal event in the past that shaped the current world 4. Daily life: what an ordinary person's day looks like 5. Conflict: the central tension built into the world's design 6. Sensory details: what this world looks, sounds, smells, and feels like
הכי טוב ל: GEMINI
Gemini builds the most internally consistent worlds with logical cause-and-effect between rules. Its worlds feel lived-in because it thinks through the second-order consequences of every rule.
Tested Feb 15, 2026
טיפים מקצועיים
Limit your world to 3 unique rules. Worlds with 10 magical systems feel cluttered and confuse readers. The most memorable fictional worlds (Hogwarts, Middle-earth, Westeros) have simple core rules with complex consequences.
Elevate flat scenes with tension
This scene feels flat and I need help making it more compelling: [Paste your scene or describe what happens] What this scene needs to accomplish: [plot purpose] Emotional tone I'm going for: [suspense / sadness / humor / wonder] What I think is missing: [my instinct about the problem] Rework this scene by: 1. Identifying the core problem: why this scene doesn't work yet 2. Adding a source of tension or conflict (even in quiet scenes) 3. Engaging at least 3 senses beyond just visual 4. Showing character emotion through action and body language, not narration 5. Cutting any line that doesn't serve character, plot, or atmosphere 6. Rewriting the opening and closing lines for maximum impact
הכי טוב ל: GEMINI
Gemini provides the most structural and analytical scene feedback, identifying exactly why a scene falls flat and offering specific fixes. Its sensory detail additions feel organic rather than ornamental.
Tested Feb 15, 2026
טיפים מקצועיים
Every scene needs micro-tension, even happy ones. A birthday party is boring. A birthday party where the guest of honor hasn't shown up yet — that's a scene. Add a small unresolved question to every scene.
Write irresistible story openings
Help me write a compelling opening for my [genre] story. Story premise: [what the story is about] Main character: [brief description] Tone: [dark / whimsical / literary / fast-paced] Length of opening: [first paragraph / first page / first chapter outline] Generate: 1. 5 different opening line options with different hook strategies 2. For the best one: expand it into a full opening paragraph 3. A 'cold open' version that starts in the middle of action 4. A 'voice-driven' version that establishes character through narration 5. A 'mystery' version that opens with an unanswered question 6. Analysis: which opening works best for this specific story and why
הכי טוב ל: CHATGPT
ChatGPT generates the most varied and creative opening lines with strong hooks. Its cold opens are particularly effective, dropping readers into scenes with just enough context to be intrigued without being confused.
Tested Feb 15, 2026
טיפים מקצועיים
Your first sentence should make the reader ask a question. 'The morning my sister disappeared, I made pancakes.' raises questions. 'It was a sunny day in June' raises nothing. Every great opening creates a curiosity gap.
Based on actual testing — not assumptions. See our methodology
Gemini
Best for world building and scene-level craft. Creates internally consistent fictional worlds and provides structural analysis of why scenes work or don't. Less effective at raw creative prose generation.
Results from Gemini 2.0 Flash · Tested Feb 15, 2026ChatGPT
Best for plot structure and opening hooks. Generates the most inventive twists and attention-grabbing first lines. Can default to genre cliches if not given enough original direction in the prompt.
Results from GPT-4o · Tested Feb 15, 2026Claude
Best for character development and dialogue. Creates the most psychologically complex characters and writes the most authentic conversations with genuine subtext. Sometimes over-literary for commercial fiction.
Results from Claude 3.5 Sonnet · Tested Feb 15, 2026Grok
Excellent at generating unexpected plot twists, dark humor, and stories with a distinctive edge that other models play too safe to attempt. Strong at writing anti-heroes and morally gray characters. Less effective at literary fiction, lyrical prose, and stories requiring emotional subtlety over shock value.
Results from Grok 2 · Tested Feb 15, 2026Use AI as a brainstorming partner, not a ghostwriter. AI-generated prose sounds like AI no matter how good the prompt is. Use AI to develop characters, structure plots, and work through story problems. Then write the actual prose yourself — that's where your voice lives.
Conflict is not optional in any scene. Every scene needs someone who wants something and something standing in their way. Even a quiet dinner scene needs disagreement, unspoken tension, or a secret. Conflict is the engine of story — without it, you have a summary.
Cut your first paragraph. Your story probably starts on paragraph two. Most writers warm up in their first paragraph, clearing their throat before the story begins. Delete it and see if the story improves. Nine times out of ten, it does.
