Core Concepts

Artifacts

Artifacts are pieces of context.

4 min read

Artifacts help Draftroom understand the material behind your work.

They can include notes, outlines, research, character sheets, source material, interview notes, lesson plans, brand guidelines, transcripts, imported content, or files.

Where Artifacts live

Artifacts live in Systems. Because Systems are reusable, their Artifacts become available to every Project connected to that System.

This is what makes Artifacts different from working notes. If you need context that travels with the work across multiple drafts and sessions, it belongs as an Artifact in the System. If you need a quick note just for this session, use the Working Notes field inside the Project.

What to add as Artifacts

  • Character sheets and profiles
  • Research notes and source summaries
  • Outlines and structure documents
  • Interview transcripts
  • Brand guidelines or style notes
  • Lesson plans and curriculum materials
  • Reference documents and imported files
  • Any material the writing depends on

Artifacts and AI

When you work in a Draft, Draftroom makes the connected Artifacts available as context. The AI understands the material behind the writing, not just the prompt in front of it.

This is what makes the difference between a tool that generates and a workspace that helps you think.
