AI writing assistant

An AI writing assistant you buy once, not every month

Chapter Seven

The harbour had emptied by the time Irene reached the customs house, and the lamps along the quay were already guttering in the wind.

She had rehearsed the lie for three days. It still did not sound like something she would say.

Behind her, the bell of St. Anne's counted out the hour, and she understood that whatever she said next would be the thing he remembered her by.

Assistant chat + interview any character

Ask it to find every mention of the sword or summarise each scene a character appears in, and it searches the manuscript and acts — it has read the book, not just this chapter. Or drop into the character and ask why she lied. Most assistants forget everything between sessions; this one does not.

Codex + Auto Codex

Characters, places, lore and world rules, linked across the manuscript and fed to the AI automatically. And you do not keep it by hand: finish a chapter, press once, and Auto Codex reads it back and fills the codex in with the new characters and events.

Writer's Voice, then a full review pass

Build a voice preset from your own writing so the prose reads as yours rather than as generic AI output, then point the built-in review at the finished draft for POV slips, continuity breaks, pacing and the phrase you have used nine times.

Writer's Voice
Instructions
Use lush, sensory prose, short punchy dialogue, and metaphor that reveals character intent. Avoid adverbs. Prefer strong verbs.

No subscription, and no data leaving

No subscription, and no Wi-Fi either

Use a local model through Ollama or LM Studio and nothing crosses the network — the assistant works with the connection off. Or bring your own API key for Claude or GPT-4 and pay only that provider, never a monthly fee to us.
