Using Sidekick across your projects

Sidekick isn't limited to the comic or video you currently have open. It can search your whole library, read another project, bring things across, and convert one kind of project into another — all from the same chat column, without you opening tabs and copying text by hand.

On web: all of the below works in both the comic editor and the Story Video studio.
On iOS: Sidekick is not available.

Searching your library from the chat

You can ask Sidekick to find things across every comic and video on your account, not just the open one. It searches titles, synopses, characters and assets.

Try:

• "which of my comics has a character called Mara?"
• "find my videos about the space station"
• "do I already have a comic set in Victorian London?"

This costs nothing — it's a lookup, not a generation.

Reading another project without leaving this one

Sidekick can open and read a different project's overview or script and bring the answer back into your current chat. Useful when you're writing a sequel or a crossover and need to check what actually happened.

Try:

• "what happens at the end of issue 2 of Nightfall?"
• "summarise the script of my Deep Harbour comic"
• "remind me how I described the Ironworks in my other series"

You stay where you are; nothing in the other project is modified.

Navigating to another project

If you'd rather go there than read a summary, just say so and Sidekick will take you:

• "open my Nightfall comic"
• "take me to the second episode of the Harbour video series"

Reusing a character or asset from another comic

This is the one people ask for most: you made a character in one comic and you want to use that same character in another one, without describing it all over again and hoping it comes out looking the same.

Sidekick can copy a character or asset from one project into another, bringing its reference art with it — so the reused character looks identical to the original rather than being re-invented from a description.

Try:

• "copy Rex from my Nightfall comic into this one"
• "reuse the cast from Deep Harbour here"
• "I already made a character called Ironworks in another series — bring it into this video"

Copying is free. The existing reference art is duplicated as-is rather than regenerated, so no credits are spent — see how credits work. The copy does count against the destination project's entity limits. The original is untouched: editing the copy later does not change the character in the source project.

If the destination already has an entity with the same name, Sidekick reuses it instead of making a duplicate — you won't end up with two Batmans.

Copying a script between projects

Sidekick can move story text wholesale — a whole script from one comic to another, or scenes from one video into another. Handy for reusing a structure, for building a remix in a different art style, or for splitting an overgrown project in two.

Try:

• "copy the script from Nightfall issue 1 into this issue"
• "bring scenes 3 through 6 from my other video into this one"

Copying text costs nothing. Rendering the pages or scenes afterwards costs the normal amount.

Turning an existing comic into a video

Sidekick can create a Story Video from a comic you already have. It reads the comic's script and cast and builds the video's scenes from them, so you're not retyping the story.

Try:

• "make a story video out of my Nightfall issue 1"
• "turn this comic into a video"

You then edit and render the scenes in the video studio as usual — see getting started with Story Videos.

Converting a one-shot into a series

If a standalone comic or video grew into something bigger, Sidekick can convert it into a series so you can add further issues or episodes to it.

Try:

• "turn this into a series"
• "convert my Deep Harbour video into a series so I can add episode 2"

The existing project becomes the first entry; new issues or episodes are added after it, and you choose which characters, assets and locations each one uses.
