Our native Story Analyzer reads across your chapters, your characters, your world elements, and your notes, scores the story, then identifies what's weak.
Every note is chapter-specific and character-specific, with the reference attached, not general advice. Rewrite and run it again; it reads the new version, then keeps the history so you can watch your story improve. Export the report as a PDF for your human editor.

Native AI that reshapes your paragraphs,
not built to replace you.
Type / in the editor and pick a command. Continue writing; the AI reads the paragraphs above your cursor and carries on your thread with your characters and in your own tone.
Rephrase, expand, summarize, and improve work the same way, on text you already wrote. It never produces a chapter you didn't ask for, and it stays quiet until you call it.

Her hand stopped an inch from the handle, and stayed there.
Keep it, edit it, or press undo. It never writes a chapter you didn't ask for.
Trigger
Type / anywhere in the editor.
Your context
The paragraphs you just wrote, nothing else.
Your control
You accept it, edit it, or delete it.
Training
None. Your words are never used to train the AI.
Your story stays with you,
whenever, wherever you want.

Word counts, goals,
and a streak.
Every chapter carries its own word count. Set your daily goal, and the editor tracks it as you type. Keep a streak. A year-long map fills in square by square for every day you wrote. What finishes books isn't inspiration; it's evidence that you showed up yesterday.
A heatmap of the last six months of writing days.
Per chapter. Live word counts across the manuscript.
Daily goal. Track it as you write.
Streak. Today, this week, this month, all time.
Heatmap. A year of writing days, one square each.
