AI Narrators

Choose who tells your story: The Chronicler for everyone, plus The Scholar and The Veteran for Architects.

Different AI models tell stories differently. Choose your narrator from the menu beside the input bar ("Choose Your Narrator").

  • The Chronicler (Google Gemini): fast and reliable. The default for everyone.
  • The Scholar (Anthropic Claude): a more literary voice. Architects only.
  • The Veteran (Qwen): gritty and direct. Architects only.

Good to know

  • You can switch narrator at any time, mid-story; your choice is remembered next time.
  • Your story, memory and Ledger are the same whichever narrator you use.
  • If a narrator is ever unavailable, The Chronicler steps in for that turn so you don't lose it.

See Turns & Access Tiers for the Architect tier.
