The story was never the hard part
Comic people do not sit down thinking “I need an AI.” They sit down because a hallway scene will not leave them alone — the confession, the last train, the villain who finally looks tired. The hard part is turning that scene into a page a stranger can read.
Tab Story is built for that gap. You give it a chapter, not a vibe prompt. The project keeps the script, the cast, the style, and the panels together, so Tuesday’s regenerate still knows who stood in the rain on Monday.
Two doors, one book
On Create you pick a mode before anything draws.
| Mode | How it feels | When it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Classic Wizard | Style and format → confirm the script → design characters → batch panels | You want a first episode on the table tonight |
| Make Studio | Paste a novel into chat; the agent proposes style, cast, and storyboard chapter by chapter | You will rewrite dialogue and rerun one page a dozen times |
| Infinite Canvas | Upload a still, mark a region, generate only that patch | The page is almost right except the hand, the sign, or the eyes |
What stays on the project
- Chapters you typed or uploaded as TXT/PDF — recommended 1,000–2,000 characters each, because a comic chapter is a scene, not a novel dump.
- A style pack and a layout (page or webtoon scroll) so the book does not change art language mid-fight.
- Characters you can lock, refresh, or replace with an uploaded reference.
- Panels you can regenerate one at a time, or replace with an upload that joins the page history.
What it will not pretend to be
This is not Clip Studio. It will not letter a tankobon for print, and it will not ink like a weekday assistant. It will get a readable episode out of the chapter you already wrote — then let you throw away the one page that missed.
