The page plan

The page plan is step two: one row per page, each with a name, an art brief and — for presets that print words — the text on the page.

Every row draws the real page, using the same builder as the exported PDF, so what you are judging is what will print.

Generating it

✦ Generate with AI plans the whole book from your brief: what each page shows, in an order that makes a book rather than a pile of pictures.

You can also write the plan by hand. Nothing requires AI here.

Briefs and words are separate requests

For a picture book you can ask for:

• Both — briefs and words together,
• Just the artwork for now — briefs only,
• Write all the words — words only, filling the pages that already exist.

This is not just a convenience. A picture book asks for roughly twice as much output as any other preset, and asking for everything at once on a long book is what makes a model truncate or fail. Splitting the request is what makes a 30-page plan reliable.

A words-only run never rebuilds the plan. It fills in the pages you already have, so hand-edited briefs and artwork you have already paid for are untouched.

Per-page controls

Each row offers:

• ✦ Rewrite brief — replans this page's art brief only. It keeps your name and your words.
• ✦ Rewrite words — rewrites this page's text only.
• ✦ Both
• Draw this page — renders just this illustration, at the per-page price shown on the button.

A rewrite is given its neighbouring pages' briefs, not just their names, plus an instruction not to repeat them and to keep recurring characters identical. A page rewritten in isolation reinvents the character; one rewritten in context does not.

An unnamed page gets a name. A page you named keeps it.

What to watch for

• Regenerating the whole plan discards hand-edited briefs. Use the per-page rewrite once you have started editing.
• The draw button is disabled without a brief, because there is nothing to draw from. It is dimmed as well as disabled, so it reads as a step still to do rather than a broken button.
• A short plan is reported, not hidden. If you ask for 30 pages and the model returns 23, you are told. If the plan comes back with no words in a book that needs words, you are told that too.
• Presets with no art step have no generate button here. A planner gets a structure builder instead — templates repeated across the book, costing nothing.
