TITLE = "✍️ AI Story Outliner"
DESCRIPTION = """
Enter a prompt and get 10 unique story outlines from a CPU-friendly AI model.
The app uses **DistilGPT-2** to generate creative outlines formatted in Markdown.

**How it works:**
1.  Enter your story idea.
2.  The AI will generate 10 different story outlines.
3.  Each outline has a dramatic beginning and is concise, like a song.

Create a short story outline based on this idea.

### The Hook
A dramatic opening.

### The Ballad
The main story, told concisely.

### The Finale
A clear and satisfying ending.
