# --- App Configuration ---
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**, a reliable and lightweight model, to generate creative outlines.

**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.
