AIlluminate Daydream — Autonomous Story & Illustration Studio

Daydream is AIlluminate’s private, agent-orchestrated studio that autonomously writes original stories and generates cohesive illustrations. It emphasizes world-class setting design, character development, and outline craft, then builds each scene with multiple concept images for fast, high-fidelity iteration—without exposing your IP.

From a single prompt, Daydream assembles a canon-aware story bible, beat-accurate outlines, chapters, character sheets, location guides, and art direction packages—then renders concept illustration sets that match the text. All work stays private by default and exports to industry-standard formats for editing, layout, and publishing.

From Prompt to Pages

Start with a vibe—“cozy solarpunk mystery in a floating market”—and Daydream drafts a premise, themes, and logline. It expands into a setting bible, character roster with arcs, and a three-act or episodic outline. Chapters are drafted in your chosen voice, while each key scene receives multiple concept illustrations exploring composition, mood, and palette.

Everything remains editable: lock a character, tweak a locale, or swap a plot beat. The agent re-syncs downstream chapters and illustration briefs without overwriting your manual edits.

Privacy & IP Protection

1. Private by default
   • Local or self-hosted processing; no unsolicited data egress.
   • Project-scoped, encrypted caches and model checkpoints.
2. IP-safe generation
   • Provenance-tracked model sources and reference libraries.
   • No project data used to train public models; telemetry is opt-in.
3. Rights clarity
   • Manifest tracks origin, license, and derivatives for text and images.
   • Exportable BOM for legal/compliance review.

Workflow Compatibility

Daydream meets authors, editors, and illustrators in the tools they already use:

• Writing: Markdown, DOCX, TXT; outline/beat sheets in CSV/JSON.
• Layout: ready-to-flow EPUB/PDF drafts; IDML/HTML exports for book design tools.
• Art: PNG/JPG/WebP, layered PSD/ORA (when configured), SVG for diagrams.
• Reference: character sheets, location maps, and scene cards as shareable packs.

Keep your editors, DCCs, and source control. Daydream automates scaffolding and keeps everything in sync.

Agentic Pipeline

How Daydream builds a book-ready package:

1) Setting Matrix

World rules, tone board, locales, history, and sensory motifs—outputs a concise setting bible.

2) Character Forge

Protagonists, supporting cast, goals, fears, relationships, visual motifs; arc beats per act.

3) Plot & Outline

Logline → beat sheet → scene list; options for Save-the-Cat, Kishōtenketsu, episodic arcs.

4) Scene Craft

For each scene: narrative brief, shot ideas, and multiple concept illustrations exploring composition and lighting.

5) Drafting & Revisions

Chapter prose in target voice; redlines preserve changes; continuity checks across POV, tense, and lore.

6) Art Direction

Style bible (brushwork, color keys, lenses); character and location turnarounds for consistency.

7) Export & Layout

Clean exports for editing, layout, and print/digital distribution; asset BOM and credits.

What Ships on Day One

• Premise, logline, themes, and style guide.
• Setting bible, character sheets, and relationship map.
• Beat sheet, scene list, and chapter drafts.
• Per-scene concept packs (2–6 variations) with captioned briefs.
• Consistent art direction (palette, materials, lens notes) stored in a style bible.
• Standards-friendly exports (DOCX/MD/EPUB/PDF + PNG/PSD/SVG).

Limits & Guardrails

Daydream won’t overwrite human edits without approval and flags continuity risks (timeline drift, character voice shifts). It avoids imitating living artists unless explicitly authorized and surfaces sensitive-content checks for human review.

Roadmap & Early Access

Upcoming features include comic/manga layout modes, storyboard-to-animatic handoff, audiobook voice drafts, and collaborative editor comments. Apply for early access to help shape Daydream with real projects.
