Asking your world
Two parts of the Companion work by meaning rather than by links, and one notices when two accounts drift apart. All three share one rule: they only ever show you things you already wrote.
They work off an index of your wiki pages — see Does the Companion use AI? for exactly what that involves and what gets sent where.
The sparkle icon opens a question box. Ask in your own words — “who has a grudge against the harbour guild” — and you get back passages from your own wiki pages and actor sheets, each with the page it came from.
The passage comes first and the source underneath, because the passage is the answer. Click a result to focus it in the Companion, like any other row.
Akin to
Section titled “Akin to”In the normal Companion view you may see a group called Akin to. These are pages about similar things that have no link between them at all — two articles circling the same idea that nobody has thought to connect yet.
Each row shows the passage that made it a match, so you can see why it’s there. There’s no relationship label, because there’s no relationship — that’s the point of the group.
Two accounts that differ
Section titled “Two accounts that differ”Occasionally the Companion will note that two pages describe something quite differently, and offer to show them side by side.
It is not telling you they contradict — it can’t know that. It has measured that two accounts of the same subject read very unlike each other, which is often just two different scenes, and occasionally a detail you changed your mind about and only updated in one place. You decide which is right, and the Companion never edits either.
