Master AI (Chat)

The Master AI is GameMasterBuddy's conversational assistant: ask it about rules, setting or lore and it answers by citing the real manuals, telling you book and page. It's built on a technique called RAG (retrieval-augmented generation): the system first searches the relevant passages inside the indexed manuals, then hands those excerpts to the language model that writes the answer. This way the AI doesn't “make things up”: it speaks from the text it actually found.

The cited sources are the heart of the tool. Every answer carries references [1], [2]… matching the retrieved passages: open them to check on the manual where a piece of information comes from. If something isn't in the manuals, the Master AI tells you instead of filling the gap.

How it works

The chain is: your question → semantic and keyword search in the manuals → re-ranking of the best hits → answer generation with the sources in view. Search is cross-language: you can ask in English about an Italian manual (or vice versa) and the system still finds the right passage and translates the answer into your language.

The setting you pick changes two things: which manuals are queried and the “voice” the AI answers with (that world's rules, tone, proper nouns). Current settings are Vulcania and D&D 5e/Eberron.

How to use it

Open the Master AI from the app menu and pick the setting.
Type your question in natural language (Italian or English).
Read the answer and open the cited references to check them on the manual.
Use the sidebar for history: conversations are saved to your account and organized in folders (create, rename, nest, move).
Switch the engine (Fast / Balanced / Deep) depending on how elaborate you want the answer.

Engines and credits

The engine selector picks the model that generates the answer: “Fast” is the quickest, “Deep” the richest but costs more. Cost is proportional to the tokens actually used (roughly, the length of question + answer), not a flat price per message.

If the engine has been idle it may take a few seconds to “warm up” on the first request: if you see “the engine is starting”, retry. Requests that fail during warm-up don't cost credits.

Good practice

Quote proper nouns exactly as written in the manual: it helps the search find the right passage.
To generate a whole adventure don't use the chat: there's One-shot Studio.
Always verify critical information against the sources: the AI is a help, not a referee.
