## What it is
Loom is an experimental tree-based writing interface for collaborating with GPT-3, letting users explore branching continuations of a text as a navigable tree. It supports generating multiple child continuations, editing nodes, bookmarks, chapters, and a 'block multiverse' visualization mode.

## Use cases
- write fiction collaboratively with GPT-3 by exploring branching continuations
- generate and compare multiple story continuations from one prompt
- visually explore and edit a tree of alternative text drafts
- experiment with GPT-3 generation settings per node
- save and combine branching story trees as JSON files
- visualize possible futures of a text with the block multiverse interface

## When to choose
- you want to explore many alternative continuations of a text rather than a single linear output
- you need fine-grained control over hidden memory and generation settings per node
- you are doing creative or experimental writing with GPT-3 and want tree navigation

## When to avoid
- you need a stable, well-documented production tool
- you use models other than GPT-3 or need modern LLM API support
- you want a simple linear writing app without branching complexity
