## Frequently asked questions

### How does the idea generator help?

You give it a spark in words and it draws the idea as a fictional doodle using the Surprise skill — no photo. It is both the brainstorm and the drawing in one step. Sign in with Google to run it.

### Is it free?

Browsing is free and new accounts get free starter credits. Each doodle is 1 credit after that, refunded on failure. No paywall.

### What if I don't have an idea yet?

Start with anything concrete — an animal, an object, a mood — and generate. Seeing one doodle often sparks the next; each run is its own 1-credit generation.

### Does the same idea always draw the same doodle?

No. It reinterprets each run, so the same idea can look different. That variety is useful when you are exploring.

### Can it draw an idea based on my photo?

This is the no-photo Surprise skill. For an idea built on a real face, use the photo-based Normal skill instead.
