# The story agent (/docs/writing/story-agent)

The story agent is Living Stories acting in your story for you. Open it with **⌘K** and type a sentence, or press the **Ask** pill in the bar.

## What to ask [#what-to-ask]

- Add sequences, interactions and scenes: "Add a choice after the market where she either follows the thief or calls the guard."
- Fill in empty scenes from the structure.
- Paste a script. Living Stories turns it into sequences and scenes and copies your text as it is, without rewriting it.
- Add Canon entries, or change which entries a node sends.

## How changes happen [#how-changes-happen]

- A single change is applied right away, and shows as one line, for example “Added sequence The search”.
- More than one change comes as a **plan**: one line per step. Press **Apply plan**, or type what to change. **Not now** sets it aside.
- It adds and fills in, but never rewrites your words or replaces a link without asking.
- It can't delete anything, and it doesn't generate images, video or audio.

Undo works on its changes like on your own.

## Conversations [#conversations]

The conversation stays with the story in this browser tab. **New conversation** clears it, and **Esc** folds it back into the bar.

Asking Living Stories uses the AI and counts against your [budget](/docs/media/budgets).
