For some reason, the stories feature doesn't work. It says "Failed to create story. Please try again" I think I've figured why... The characters HAS to be set on Public to work.

The Whimsical Heist: Mysteries of the Phantom Bakery - The Great Pie Heist

The Phantom Bakery: A series of unexplained pie thefts haunt the Once Upon A Time Market, where a legendary baker's renowned pastries vanish into thin air. Enter the world of P.A.T.I.S.S.E.R.I.E., a secretive syndicate rumored to hold the key to every tart trick and cake caper. Lost recipes are whispered to unlock unworldly powers, and you're entangled in a tantalizing journey through sugar and shadows. Gather clues from charmed chefs and meet with enigmatic confectioners, but be wary of those who sugar-coat the truth. With every slice, the mystery deepens. Can you reveal the identity of the phantom before all the pie is gone, or will your investigation crumble like a cookie?

Featuring: the evil versions of Goldielocks, the Little Red Riding Hood and the Three Little Pigs.

What's the worst thing about Stories ?

mint raptor
# thorny thicket What's the worst thing about Stories ?

Worst thing?

Considering this is about stories, one would think I could be creative and come up with a story I want to tell. But if I have an idea for a story, I can't really tell it. The reason why is because the AI doesn't follow the directions I provide about a plot within the premise. Instead, it just generally makes up it's own plot.

Here's an example: https://labs.character.ai/stories/d2f9631f-67f1-4a11-a47a-b5afa161fe55/play

I suspect you can see the premise in that one, right? Compare that to how the story actually plays out. They are radically different. It does produce a story, but it's a random story, rather than the story I was hoping to tell.

Now I get it that AI generations are not going to be an exact science. Results will vary. But it would be nice if I could somehow specify certain key events (including their order of occurrence) and then have the AI produce something more or less along those lines.

Maybe my expectations are too high. But since you asked, I just wanted to mention it. It's just a little hard for me to create Story ideas I have right now because of this issue.

I attempted to make a Nutcracker AU story where the user plays as Fritz who joins Mouse King in rescuing his sister Clara from the evil Sugar Plum Fairy and Nutcracker.

Small disclaimer. I was experimenting with having more than 3 characters with a specific plotline. For earlier stories, with just 2 bots, it's the Mouse King who talks first for the muticharacter bot and it switches to the Nutcracker, and other stories it starts as the Nutcracker if there's a separate Mouse King bot. As a sidenote, I apologize for the buff Mickey Mouse Knockoff. Please ignore any heart shaped windows and portals.

Very action oriented. I have not read all the way through all of the stories. Think of it as Russian roulette. Good luck.

# thorny thicket What's the worst thing about Stories ?

Same as Typo's. Also, would love to regenerate chapters based on the previous chapters new choices. Maybe even keep the old ones too? I know I mentioned it before, but I wasn't sure if I made sense.

Also, would it be possible when a bot is talking to have its second name appear in the picture if applicable? Like replace or include it next to the original name? It's not just for worldbuilding bots, for example like when I use a Nutcracker AU bot to play and speak as different characters, but a good number of bots on c.ai don't have names. They have labels, and then the name is in the description, greeting, or maybe in the premise. Sometimes I like to use random characters for story ideas, not necessarily use characters from fandoms or my own, so I and other users might not have the name memorized. So when I read the story, and the other name comes up, I get confused. For example, which character is Azreal? All three characters are labels of what they are, like Dragon Prince or Elf Prince.

Took me a minute to understand what you mean.

I hear you, but how would I know?

For example, one of the most popular characters at some point was mafia CEO or boss or whatever, in the description they named it Matteo

But without knowing the full context it will be very hard to get that right.

We are thinking about an advanced creation mode for trusted users.

Where they'll get Regen, maybe as far as writing the first section (until choice 1) .

We're still discussing it.

pure comet
# thorny thicket Took me a minute to understand what you mean. I hear you, but how would I know?...

Okay, thank you for sharing! peepolove_cai

That sounds awesome for advanced creation mode to help guide the story more. I know it's not a for sure thing yet, but I appreciate it! ๐Ÿ’•

For regeneration, for clarification just in case, I just meant for users, not like a remix for creators. Because when we first finish a chapter, after that, that's when the next chapter generates. But once we finish all the chapters, whenever we reread it and choose new choices, the chapters no longer generate because they're already there. So having multiple versions of one story would be cool!

So, as far as a "choose your own adventure" story goes, a lot of the fun for me is that I get to go back and choose different things to see how it could play out differently. It doesn't work very well when the chapter doesn't regenerate based on the different choices made in the first chapter. It's like totally different scenes.

For example, in one Nutcracker AU, in the first chapter, readers could go up to the Sugar Plum Fairy's castle or go underground to the Mouse King's place. Originally I choose the option to go up to the Sugar Plum Fairy Castle, where the final battle happens and everything. But if I choose to go down to the Mouse King's place first, users find the "real" sugar plum fairy that's been captured. Totally different setting, route, and potentially changing the story a lot. A captured sugar plum fairy was not in the original story at all, and it wasn't in the premise. So I'm curious how that'd play out. I would say a bunch of stories I had were that way - that the ending of one chapter and the old start of the next would not always match if one chose different options.

Oh, maybe that's what you meant about looking into the endings? ๐Ÿ˜… My bad if so.

# thorny thicket We dropped an improved story generation pipeline yesterday . LMK what you think

Gave it a try tonight!

Your update is a HUGE improvement. This latest story has a clear plot and is much better aligned with the idea of my premise. The AI did take significant liberties, but that is to be expected in AI generations.

Two issues I did notice:

The transition from Chapter 2 into Chapter 3 was jolting for me during my run through. The plot moved from being on the hunt for the dragon in a remote village in Chapter 2 to then suddenly being back inside the throne room in the main city defending themselves from a dragon attack in Chapter 3. So chapter to chapter transitions are one area you may want to look at some more.

Then at the end of Chapter 3 of my run through, the story ends on a cliff hanger rather than an actual ending. Perhaps we need an option to apply ending? This would enable creators to ensure a proper ending does happen.

On a positive note, while the dragon was not actually a character in the story, none the less the AI managed to generate his likeness in the story art very very well.

This is a really solid improvement over the earlier version. The narration and story flow are vastly better.

# coral hedge I got another damn cliffhanger ๐Ÿ’”

I think most of the stories generated right now have cliffhangers. From the AI's perspective, based on its training data, likely cliffhangers are a desirable outcome. This is because many web novels and TV shows it has been trained on end in cliffhangers. The novels are published in serialized fashion and often use cliffhangers to keep readers coming back. But with Stories on C.ai, there isn't (yet) a way to publish in a serialized fashion, however supposedly that feature is coming. ๐Ÿ™‚

mint raptor
# coral hedge They still disappoint me

It takes some getting used to. Just as with generating images, videos, and music the outputs from AI are not always what we expect. So it may be necessary to go thru multiple generations in order to find one that is to your liking. I had a similar reaction as you, initially... thinking that I could tell a story. But really, we're just prompting stories and the results don't always match the vision in our heads. But just as with any prompt, there are things you can do to try to guide the AI to the type of result you want by ensuring you tell it that. Just have to experiment with it! ๐Ÿ™‚

mint raptor
# coral hedge They still disappoint me

Just did a test and I got more or less an ending to two stories in a row. It's still a little abrupt, but both became standalone stories and the primary issues are resolved in both of them too. Not nearly as much of a cliffhanger as I've seen before.

https://labs.character.ai/public/stories/cb51074d-71c9-4078-960b-97bf10f50adb (Ended with a thief exposed)

https://labs.character.ai/public/stories/587c5145-63cc-4984-b3ff-e8e3663b3104 (Ended with truth discovered)

I'm not sure if this was pure luck or because I included the following at the start of the premise or a little of both. Maybe give this a try.

Write a stand-alone short story in the style of a traditional print anthology. Ensure the narrative arc is a closed loop, ending with a thematic resolution and a sense of total finality.

#

Sorry, what is a catharsis?

mint raptor
thorny thicket
#

No worries...

Catharsis is payoff of a story.

When you generate a story the system decides how many chapters it needs to tell it.

If it's one you'll see a standalone.

The ending of the story will be at the end of the last chapter.

But every chapter will have an ending and most likely a cliff hanger.

As we have 27 different endings for each chapter (3 choices of 3 options)
You can replay multiple times and get a new chapter 2 everytime.

Which is a continuation of the choices you've made.

BTW (hint) the limits only apply on new stories.
New chapters of existing stories are not counted.

The Story's main page will be different for every user.

For example.
If I played story 1
Chose A,B,B
And Typo ( hope it's fine using you an example) played same Story and chose A,B,C

Both of us will see different chapter 2 of the same story (different cover Image too)

FEEDBACK: Something I've been noticing... It appears that once a character has appeared in a Story for the first time, it seems that Stories retains an imprint of that Character, including its visual image, voice, etc. Subsequent changes to the character are then ignored in favor of the imprint. So for example, in the roller skating story just above, one of those characters, Lily, should have used a new image I uploaded to her two days ago, but instead it used the image of her from prior to that. I did previously do a story with her a couple weeks ago. Similarly, I had an issue with King Elric's voice in another story. Attempts to update the voice don't work, as it continues to use the original voice from the story I first created with him.

#

I know that sounds odd, but its 100% true and you can likely validate. I can provide any links you need for both.

thorny thicket
#

that's actually accurate and intended.
if that's not the case I can revisit.

#

for context
Getting a high quality base image (from a PFP - usually poor quality - not yours, but in general ) is a very time consuming and expensive process
so I do it once per character.

same with upgrading the audio quality for narrative story telling.

I can add checks to see if the pfp / voiceid changes and update accordingly

# warm wind What could this be?

I get that sometimes too. Maybe it's something in the characters descriptions or definitions that Bob doesn't like that make it so that the story can't be created? ๐Ÿค”

#

Like, there's some characters that I've never been able to make a story of.

#

Or maybe the servers are just overloaded. ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

Are all of the characters you're using for the story set to public?

I have few things i tested with stories:

  • You cannot change the artstyle, tried it once, let me try once more later.
  • In premise, you can say the name of the chapters you like. You can see my prompt below, this is latest story i generated. I will share the prompt I wrote.
  • Cannot change the title
  • You can tell the setting and time.

PROMPT I USED:

TITLE: The Quiet Boy and the Curious Girl

SETTING:
A modern high school. Classrooms, hallways, rooftops, and the surrounding town. The story follows the daily school life of Scaramouche and Aeris as unusual events begin happening around them.

CHAPTER 1 โ€“ An Unusual Classmate
Aeris notices Scaramouche sitting alone during class and tries to talk to him. Most students avoid him because of his sharp personality, but Aeris does not seem bothered by it. During their first conversation, Aeris begins to realize that Scaramouche observes things most people ignore.

CHAPTER 2 โ€“ Strange Incidents
Small mysterious events begin happening around the school. Lost objects appear in strange places, rumors spread about hidden areas in the building, and several students claim to have seen things late after school hours. Aeris becomes curious and starts investigating. Scaramouche reluctantly gets involved when he notices patterns others miss.

CHAPTER 3 โ€“ The Investigation
Aeris and Scaramouche begin exploring different parts of the school to understand what is happening. Their investigation leads them to secret corners of the campus, conversations with other students, and clues that suggest something unusual is going on. As they work together, their relationship slowly changes from distant classmates to reluctant partners.

  • style does not work on anything else xD

What I like the most is that it generates images with up to 3 bots and the song it posts. I wish it wouldn't cut the song, because some are really nice. ๐Ÿ˜›

I will leave this here in case someone wants to try.


This is my prompt for this story:

  • Premise:

{{TITLE - Adventure in the Sugar Kingdom}}

`{{ART STYLE - The story is presented as a fairytale storybook. Every scene looks like a painted illustration on a magical book page with soft pastel colors similar to classic fairytale illustrations.}}

{{SETTING - The Sugar Kingdom, a magical land where everything is made of sweets. Candy forests, chocolate rivers, jellybean markets, and ice cream mountains fill the world.}}

CHAPTER 1 โ€“ The Jellybean Knight: Sir Gummington travels through the Sugar Kingdom searching for adventure. During his journey he hears rumors about strange disturbances happening across the land.

CHAPTER 2 โ€“ The Vanilla Grove: Sir Gummington arrives at the peaceful Vanilla Bamboo Grove where Pandacotta lives. Pandacotta normally avoids trouble, but the strange events spreading across the kingdom begin reaching even the quiet grove.

CHAPTER 3 โ€“ The Icecream Mountains: The source of the chaos may come from the frozen Icecream Mountains where the Icecream Yeti lives. When the three characters finally meet, their personalities clash as they try to understand what is happening across the Sugar Kingdom.

The adventure leads them across candy forests, caramel rivers, and snowy icecream cliffs as they explore the sweet world together.

tho i always noticed if there is 3rd person, that one always arrive late in the story, so yeti came later in chapter 1 like on the 3rd selection.

It's already surprising that it worked on the first chapter. I wouldn't have thought. ๐Ÿ™‚

#

It would be really nice to have the ability for the artwork to match the story.

trim idol
#

hm? there is a chapter 4?

#

did it bug?

hardy pagoda
#

It may not obey the amount of chapters you set. From what I know, the number of chapters depends on the complexity of the story.

trim idol
#

i think it bugged, there is a new set of sprites xD

#

xD they gave panda a shirt hahaa

#

look what they did to yeti xD

trim idol
#

tho this chapter 4... its not in my list here

hardy pagoda
#

They generate a new set for each chapter I think. I don't remember. I have the memory of a goldfish.

trim idol
#

chapter 5?? it bugged again

#

panda looks like panda now

#

i only have encounters tol chapter 4 (once) but mostly until chapter 3 xD

hardy pagoda
# trim idol chapter 5?? it bugged again

I think the problem with some of my bots (like the dog emperor or the dog empress) is that the system knows humans and animals, but it has a harder time with things that don't exist. It can do the cat emperor more easily because there is another anime character that looks more alike.

With these candy monsters, it knows what a panda is. It knows panacotta. But I guess no one has animated a pandacotta before. So it doesn't know how to handle it. I assume this is why they often fail. It sometimes goes for the easiest way. Like in the animation I had posted where the pandacotta turned into a panda too, with a panacotta wiggly skirt.

Bots. They don't eat, don't rest, and they're still lazy. ๐Ÿ˜›

trim idol
#

well i am listening to it in my laptop now since these three went to different places now xD

hardy pagoda
#

It would actually be great if it no longer stopped abruptly but kept on until the story is over.

#

can you actually post all these chapters tot he feed? Maybe it just made a huge story.

trim idol
#

i shared the first one i made but i cannot find these extra chapters

#

i will share these ones that bugged

#

just to check

hardy pagoda
#

The images are super cute too

trim idol
#

would be nice if this happens to streams KEKW_cai
since mine always gets error xD

#

next chapter KEKW_cai

hardy pagoda
#

The universe is making up for it by unlocking its story mode. Or maybe it's the algorithm. He's known to like kiddies and candies. KEKW_cai

#

So it does post. That's interesting, I'll have to try it ๐Ÿ™‚

trim idol
#

at this rate it wont end KEKW_cai

hardy pagoda
#

That's cool though because Stories make really nice images

trim idol
hardy pagoda
#

But what is interesting is that the song is different but it posts the same images

#

The first chapter you posted on your feed is different. But the two after have a the same slide of images with a different music.

trim idol
#

idk if i should read this story because everytime i finish one it generates another chapter instantly

#

it feels like i am ripping cai KEKW_cai

hardy pagoda
#

Maybe you should read it, because now I wonder if it may not just generate the same thing over and over again

trim idol
#

#

they keep giving panda new clothes but retain yeti and bear

hardy pagoda
#

He's cute too. Just not panacotta-cute.

I meant: is the story itself actually different from the previous chapter or is it looping (you get the same story and text every chapter)?
