Hey guys,

I recently had opened a thread talking about everyone’s issues with current world building tools.

I am seeing many of you guys mentioning you use Notion, Obsidian or Google docs and also saying if there are any ai features, you are staying away from the tool.

But Obsidian, Notion and Google docs have major generative ai features.

So I’m curious, are you guys aware that these features exist in the tool or you do know but since those features aren’t thrown at your faces, you guys don’t mind it and have the option of not using those features?

Hi everyone, I’m building a team of engineers and we’re huge fans of fiction, fantasy, and worldbuilding.

We’re working on a tool for writers aimed at solving the frustrations people run into with current worldbuilding and writing tools. Our goal is to build something genuinely useful for managing complex worlds, characters, lore, continuity, and story structure.

Before we build further, I’d love to learn from people actually doing the work.

What issues do you run into with current tools?

- What feels clunky or limiting?

- What do you currently use (Notion, World Anvil, Obsidian, Campfire, spreadsheets, paper…)?

- What do you wish existed but doesn’t?

- What would make a worldbuilding tool indispensable for you?

We’d really value honest feedback, including harsh criticism. If something about current tools drives you crazy, I want to hear it.

We’d love to get this product out into the world, but we want to build it around real writer needs, not assumptions.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share.

I’m curious how fantasy writers here manage worldbuilding and whether current tools are actually working well for you.

If you use things like Notion, World Anvil, Obsidian, Campfire, spreadsheets, or even notebooks:

- What frustrates you most?

- What feels clunky or limiting?

- What do you wish these tools did better?

- What features do you wish existed but haven’t found anywhere?

I’m especially interested in problems around tracking characters, lore, continuity, timelines, maps, and managing large or complex worlds.

Honest complaints welcome. I’m trying to understand where current tools fall short from people actually writing.

Let’s say I am writing a huge document, 1000+ pages.

I want to build something where a model will have context of all the pages. And it can automatically give me flaws, contradictory information etc.

And another feature where I can search through the document using Natural Language.

Can anyone please tell me how I can implement this while maintaining llm response accuracy?

I am aware of basic concepts like RAG, chunks, vector databases. I’m still new to this. Please help me with any kinda information, links to a video I can watch to implement this.

Thanks
