# Magic Builder

> Create an editable verb draft from a short plain-language prompt.

## When to use it

Magic Builder is the fastest creation path when you know the concept but do not
want to fill every personality field manually. Open **Create** and choose the
Magic Builder method. Manual creation remains available for exact field control.

## Build a useful prompt

The prompt accepts up to `500` characters. Include:

* The character's role and goal
* Two or three defining traits
* Speaking style or vocabulary
* Important setting or backstory
* The audience or use case

Use a suggestion chip for a starting point or **Refine Prompt** to make an
existing idea more specific.

## Optional tools

* **Web Search** can ground the draft in fresh public information when the
  concept depends on current facts.
* **Image Generation** can create visual assets as part of the build.

Keep Web Search off for original characters and static lore. Turn Image
Generation off if you already have the correct avatar/banner or want to choose
a specific premium model later.

## What happens after submission

Creation runs as an asynchronous dashboard job. You can return to the dashboard
while Verba builds the result. When the job finishes, the new verb is a normal,
editable verb: review its personality, system instructions, visuals, model,
memory, and visibility before sharing it.

<Warning>
  Magic Builder produces a draft, not an unchangeable source of truth. Check
  generated factual claims and remove contradictory personality rules.
</Warning>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The builder rejected my request">
    Keep the prompt under `500` characters, remove unsafe or contradictory
    requirements, and try without optional web/image tools to isolate the failure.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The job takes longer than expected">
    Web search and image generation add external work. Check the dashboard job
    state before submitting the same request again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The result feels generic">
    Add concrete traits, a speaking pattern, one motivation, and one constraint,
    then edit the generated personality or create a more specific draft.
