## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Read the provided narrative chapters or reference text. Extract every distinct character, noting their known titles, aliases, parentage, allegiances, and significant interpersonal ties. Structure the data into standardized profile entries and link related entities in a database table. Flag ambiguous relationships or conflicting lineage accounts for human review. Wait for user approval before publishing or exporting new entities to the central database.
