What You'll Learn
Discover how to give your AI characters consistent memory, history, or expertise using StoryChain's Public Knowledge feature. This powerful tool ensures your characters always know specific information across all their chats and scenarios.
Understanding Public Knowledge
Character public knowledge is perfect for:
Fictional or real-world knowledge that your character should always possess
Backstory details that aren't included in the main description
Technical knowledge about specific projects or domains
Secret information about other characters or plot elements
Fixed details that should remain consistent across all interactions
Step-by-Step Process Covered:

Notice when answers are inconsistent or vague
Identify details that need to be fixed and consistent
Adding Public Knowledge

Navigate to the Public Knowledge section
Enter specific information (e.g., "Stationed at the Sun–Earth Lagrange Point 2 (L2)")
Save the changes
