What You Can Do
Talk to your manuscript like you would talk to a writing partner.
Manage Your Manuscript
Open Scrivener projects and work naturally. Read chapters, create scenes, reorganize the binder, update synopses. Tell your AI assistant what you need in plain language.
"Create a new scene called 'The Reveal' after Chapter 5"
Analyze Your Writing
Get detailed feedback on readability, pacing, style, dialogue, and emotional arc. Analysis grounded in your actual prose, not generic advice.
"Analyze the pacing of Chapter 3 and identify slow sections"
Enhance Your Prose
Apply targeted improvements: eliminate filter words, strengthen verbs, vary sentences, add sensory details, show instead of tell, tighten dialogue.
"Eliminate the filter words in Chapter 7 and strengthen the verbs"
Track Characters & Plot
Persistent character profiles and plot threads that your AI remembers across sessions. Consistency checking catches errors like a character walking briskly when they have a documented limp.
"Check Marcus for consistency issues across all chapters"
Search by Meaning
Semantic search finds passages by what they are about, not just keywords. Powered by the Holographic Memory System. Works offline, no API key required.
"Find all scenes where Elena and Marcus are alone together"
Compile & Export
Combine chapters into a single manuscript with configurable formatting, separators, and structure preservation. Ready for submission.
"Compile all chapters with scene break separators"
