When the AI Asks, and What It Assumes

When the AI Asks, and What It Assumes

Last updated: August 2026


An AI that keeps asking is as unhelpful as one that never does. Storyflow AI has a budget for questions and a rule about what happens when it runs out.

Two rounds, then it proceeds

Clarifying questions are capped at two rounds per turn. When the budget is spent the AI carries on rather than asking again.

A question you type past, instead of answering, spends the budget the same as one you answer.

It tells you what it filled in

When it proceeds without a full answer, it states in a card what it invented to fill the gaps — the title, the setting, the cast, the ending, whatever the request needed and did not have.

Read that card before it builds. It is the cheapest place to redirect a turn: a wrong premise costs you one sentence to correct there, instead of thirty built cards afterwards.

How the questions are written

  • Every question carries a named default, so saying nothing still moves things along
  • Options explain what they mean rather than only naming themselves
  • Questions have a scope. An answer about you is asked once and remembered. An answer about this one request is never remembered, so it cannot leak into unrelated work later.

Use Cases

  • Correct a wrong assumption in one sentence before thirty cards exist
  • Answer nothing at all and still get a sensible build from the defaults
