Key features

  • Proof of Work Certificate: Verifiable export detailing direction history and human-to-assisted balance
  • Multiple export formats: .txt, .md, .docx, and JSON on paid plans
  • AI writing operations scoped to a passage (expand, outline, strengthen, summarize, critique, tone, plot, rewrite)
  • Long-form projects keeping notes, sources, documents, versions together
  • Voice Profile keeps whole manuscripts in consistent voice
  • Audio notes transcribed into the project
  • Long-form editor with outline navigation, word goals, focus mode, and local style statistics
What makes it different
  • True authorship through architectural direction rather than autonomous generation
  • Strict guardrails that enforce locked voice and narrative rules on every assisted line
  • Transparent word budgets with hard stops at 100% and no surprise overages
  • All writing and organization features work without AI; AI is optional
  • AI operates on your notes and sources, not a blank prompt, keeping context across sessions
  • Text never used to train AI models; all writing remains private
  • Every AI result appears as a suggestion beside the draft; nothing rewrites in place without approval
  • One project holds multiple chapters with notes and sources; suitable for book-length manuscripts
