Adaptive Intake: Questions That Adapt to Your Book
Inkloom asks 4 to 6 specific questions about your book, only things it does not already know. Your answers become part of the canonical project record. Each question offers three genuinely distinct suggested answers.
Why this is hard
Long manuscripts have problems that short documents do not.
Generic intake forms ask the same questions regardless of what you are writing. A fiction author does not need the same questions as a training manual author.
A good intake question reveals something the tool does not already know from the concept fields. It should be specific enough that the answer matters, not so generic that any book would produce the same response.
Inkloom reads your concept fields and generates 4 to 6 questions about things it does not already know. For each question, you can click Suggest answers and get three genuinely distinct draft answers, each taking a different position so the choice means something. The prompt obeys the question form: a single-sentence question gets single-sentence answers, a one-word question gets one word.
You pick one suggested answer, edit it, or write your own. Rejected options are archived but still visible. Your answers become canonical project record that Blueprint generation reads.
