5.1 Writing Canvas (Primary Workspace)
The Writing Canvas is Lexor’s core environment. It behaves like an infinite page that grows as
you write, prioritizing content creation over visual formatting.
Formatting is previewed using lightweight symbols rather than full styling, keeping focus on
writing flow instead of layout.
Core Canvas Tools
5.2 Memory System (Token Optimization)
The Memory system summarizes key story events into compact references (It only reads text within the canvas). These summaries are used
instead of full text when sending context to the AI in order to reduce token usage while maintaining narrative continuity.
- Toggle with a switch in order for AI to understand the context of the entire Canvas or toggle off when doing minor edits.
- Can be auto-generated or manually edited/written.
5.3 Context Library (Knowledge Management)
The Context Library functions as an organized file system for background material such as
Characters, Lore, Locations, or other relevant documents that would be useful for the AI to reference, or simply a place to store content. Files can be toggled on or off for AI visibility.
Keyword Activation
Files can be assigned keywords/tags. When a keyword appears within the AI’s active context window, the
associated file is automatically included, ensuring accurate references without manual
intervention.
Import & Auto-Organization
Users can import zip folders of existing content. Use the Context Builder in order to analyze and organize these files into a structured library.
Context Builder — Drop, analyze, synthesize
To access the Context Builder, open the Folder Explorer → “Create Library” (wand icon), or use the Context Library upload area.
Drag and drop many files (TXT, MD, DOCX, PDF, ZIP) into the Context Builder. Lexor's AI reads, extracts entities (characters, locations, lore), creates concise summaries, and saves compact context files—perfect for giving the AI focused background without bloating requests.
Note: This is AI-driven and token‑intensive depending on the size and complexity of the files; It is good to consider the budget constraints before proceeding.
Open the Folder Explorer → “Create Library” (wand icon), or use the Context Library upload area to begin.
How to: Use the Context Builder (Drag & Drop)
Step-by-step
- Open the Context Library from the left panel, or click Explorer → Create Library (wand icon).
- Select or drop files: Click Upload to Context or drag many files (TXT, MD, DOCX, PDF, ODT) or a ZIP containing them into the upload area.
- Processing: Lexor reads, splits, and analyzes files, extracting entities and crafting concise summary files.
- Review and enable: When complete, review the compact files saved into categories and enable the ones you want the AI to include.
- Tip: Use the Auto Insert Context toggle to let selected library items be added automatically to relevant AI requests.
Why it’s great: You can drop megabytes of lore and Lexor will condense it into small, searchable context files — saving space and making AI requests faster and more accurate.
Warning: Large imports are token‑intensive. Confirm cost estimates before processing.
5.4 AI Chat
AI Chat provides a standalone conversational interface separate from the Canvas.
- Create custom AI roles (e.g., Reviewer, Editor, Worldbuilding Consultant).
- Discuss Canvas or Context Library content. You can simply toggle the context items to include them in the chat, as well as select any text in the canvas to add it to the conversation.
- Save, reset, or manage chat history.
This mode is ideal for brainstorming, critique, and planning.
5.5 Roleplay Layout
Lexor offers two interface layouts: Writer Layout (default) and Roleplay
Layout.
The Roleplay Layout allows users to interact directly with story characters. The AI can fully
embody characters, enabling dialogue testing, character consistency checks, and exploratory
roleplay.
- You can create characters or import existing ones to interact with in the Roleplay Layout.
- You can identify yourself as a custom or existing character to participate in the roleplay.
- You can use a toggle in order to switch from dialogue mode and narrative mode.
5.6 Document Tools
Lexor includes a full document workflow around the Context Library so project material can stay organized and reusable.
- Create, rename, delete, and edit documents directly inside the library.
- Import common writing and reference formats such as text, Markdown, DOCX, PDF, and ODT.
- Open documents in a larger editor view with save, undo/redo, and search/replace controls.
- Use folders and categories to keep large projects readable.
- Export documents or move Canvas content back into the library for reuse later.
5.7 Chapter Generator
The Chapter Generator is designed for long-form writing. It lets users define chapter ideas, generate each chapter, and manage progress in one place.
Outline First, Generate Faster
Use a chapter outline to guide generation
Create bullet-point outlines; the Chapter Generator expands them into connected chapters. This reduces revisions and keeps pacing consistent.
- Create a chapter-by-chapter outline before generation.
- Generate chapters individually or in sequence.
- Regenerate, stop, export, or copy completed chapters into the main workspace.
5.8 Search, Replace & Preview
Lexor includes both quick editing utilities and focused review tools for revision-heavy projects.
- Search inside the Canvas with next/previous navigation.
- Use Replace All to update repeated words or phrases faster.
- Preview Markdown-style formatting without leaving the writing environment.
- Use formatting controls for emphasis, headings, lists, links, and cleanup.
