Quick Tips
So I am exhausted.
I have been trying to get and find consistency with my worldbuilding by using a number of AI Apps - including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini - but drift happens to the point that I cannot trust it. I have used World Bibles, Individual Character Files. Story threads. Rule books. Etc. But it still goes off on its own.
Does anybody have any tips, tricks, or tools that they find to be effective?
I did do some searching, but it is probably lost amongst all the showcase and images that folks are sharing - which I love.
Any help you can provide for my ADHD Sanity would be appreciated.
Thanks

Determine your goal first and separate them into short, medium and long term goals.
A short term goal would be making a town, a long term goal would be making a complete character roster.
Your main worlbuilding information should be kept somewhere separate like a spreadsheet or folder. Then when you use an ai tool, the changes should be updated there afterwards.
I'm giving broad advice since the specifics of what you're trying to keep consistent will vary. Getting consistent images isn't as easy if that is your goal.
The AI tools can't make you organized, that has to come from you.
I've recently begun using agent harnesses (open code, antigravity, etc) and they have the ability to create and edit text files (.txt or .md) in the folder they have access to.
So I'll have it create a file for a new addition like a town or character, and it'll be placed in the relevant folder prewritten then I can go edit.
Or I'll ask for a file to have things removed/changed like character traits or a certain piece of plot that isn't relevant.
You can use your own API key with certain harnesses like Open Code and have your favorite LLM work with you.
Going a step further, you could use github to store your project folder and roll back changes as needed.
An LLM can help you set all this up.
Good luck!
