Storgy

01The grounded desk

Cited answers,
not confident guesses.

Ask anything about a classic novel or play. The answer is built only from Storgy's own chapter summaries and key quotes — every claim pinned to its chapter. The footnotes are the feature.

02 — The protocol

We removed the imagination.

Language models are built to guess — plausible fiction is their default. When studying a set text, guessing is fatal.

The illusion of knowledge

Ask a general chatbot about a 500-page novel and it strings together probabilities — paragraphs that sound right, with invented quotes and blended chapters. It reads like study; it isn't.

The hazard

A hallucinated plot point cited in an essay is worse than no answer at all.

The archive of evidence

Work Q&A is a closed loop: it reads only Storgy's chapter-by-chapter summaries and key quotes for the book you're asking about, and assembles the answer with the citations attached.

The guarantee

If the catalogue doesn't hold the material, the desk says so — it never invents an answer to fill the silence.

03Pre-answered desks

Desks with answers waiting.

How an answer is built

1 · Read the questionPlot, character, theme, or language — in plain English.
2 · Search the study guideOnly this work's chapter summaries and key quotes are on the desk.
3 · Pin the citationsEach claim carries the chapter reference it came from.

05Built for the classroom

Designed for checking, not cheating.

  1. 01

    Answers, not essays

    The desk writes in an objective, academic register and answers the question asked — it gives students cited material to reason from, not finished homework.

  2. 02

    Receipts on every claim

    Citations point into the chapter-by-chapter study guide, so any claim can be followed back to the summary and key quotes it came from.

  3. 03

    It can say “I don't know”

    Ask something the catalogue doesn't cover and the desk says so, instead of inventing an answer — the refusal is part of the design.

06Questions

How is Work Q&A different from asking a chatbot?

Work Q&A answers every question using only Storgy's stored chapter summaries and key quotes for that specific work. Each answer cites the chapter reference it is based on — so you can verify the answer against the text. A generic chatbot can hallucinate plot details; Work Q&A can only answer from what is in the catalog.

What kinds of questions can I ask?

Plot questions ('What happens in Chapter 4?'), character questions ('How does Atticus change?'), theme questions ('How is power presented?'), and language questions ('What does the green light symbolise?') all work well. Very broad questions ('What is the book about?') get a broad answer; more specific questions get sharper cited answers.

What do the chapter citations mean?

Each answer includes one or more citations like 'Chapter 3' or 'Ch.3 — The Storm'. These point to the chapter in the study guide where the supporting material appears. You can follow them to the study guide to read the full chapter summary and key quotes.

Is Work Q&A free to use?

Yes. Work Q&A shares the same 2-runs-per-day free budget as the other AI tools on Storgy. No signup required. The limit resets every 24 hours.

Which works are supported?

Any work that has published chapter summaries in the Storgy catalog is supported. If the catalog doesn't yet have enough material for a given work, Work Q&A will say so rather than inventing an answer.
