# Lorebooks

Lorebooks are a powerful feature in the Miku.gg Novel Builder that allow you to create dynamic and context-aware responses from your AI characters. Essentially, a lorebook is a collection of prompts and information entries that provide the AI with specific details about your novel's world, characters, or story. By defining keywords for each entry, you ensure that the AI references this information only when it's relevant, which helps maintain an efficient use of tokens and keeps the AI's responses consistent and informed.

# Creating a Lorebook

Creating lorebooks involves defining individual entries. Each entry consists of content that describes a particular aspect of your novel's world, such as the geography of a fictional country or the background of a character, along with keywords that trigger the use of this content.

The content should have the Q-A format.
