AI styles: built-in, custom and saved
A style sets the rendering look of everything Tribe AI generates. Choose one of StoryTribe's, make your own with Create style (a Style element with reference images), or use No style.
Last updated Aug 29, 2026
Click Add style in the Tribe AI panel (or the style strip on the Create page) to open Choose AI style. It has a search box and three groups: Your styles, your workspace's styles when you have one, and StoryTribe styles. Pick one and it shows as a thumbnail on the panel with Remove style; No style lets the prompt decide.
Making your own
Click Create style. A style is an element in the Style category: give it a name, add a few images that show the look (frames from a film, your own artwork, a previous generation you liked) and a short description of the rendering ("loose ink lines, muted watercolour, paper texture"). It then appears under Your styles for every project, and under the workspace's styles if you saved it to a shared library.
Style vs reference
A style answers "how should it be drawn"; a reference image or Consistent element answers "what should be in it". Use both: a Style for the whole board, and elements for the cast.
