The workspace

Built for how novels are actually written

Intent-Aware Companion

A thoughtful editorial partner that understands your project stage, asks clarifying questions, and proposes craft strategies with trade-offs.

Writer-Approved Story Bible

Characters, locations, plot threads, and themes in one canonical place. The AI can only propose — nothing enters the Bible without your explicit approval.

Continuity Audit

Proactive editorial observations grounded in your Story Bible — unresolved questions, stalled threads, and missing foils, surfaced before readers find them.

Persistent Canvas

A freeform visual space to map character relationships, plot waves, and chapter timelines — coordinates saved as you drag.
