Tips
- Be specific with your genre and tone — 'psychological horror' yields better results than just 'horror'
- Combine unexpected settings with familiar genres to create fresh premises (e.g., a romance set during a Mars colony crisis)
- Use the generated premise as a starting point and iterate — ask follow-up questions about characters, subplots, or world details
- Try generating multiple premises with the same theme but different genres to find the most compelling angle
