An AI assistant for writers: structure, proofreading and manuscript formatting
It won't write for you — and it shouldn't. The assistant is needed where the text stalls: it keeps the structure and the timeline, proofreads, prepares the synopsis and formats the manuscript to a publisher's or platform's requirements.
What it does
- builds the plan of a book or a series and keeps it coherent
- checks the text for contradictions in fact and chronology
- prepares blurbs, descriptions and platform copy
- proofreads the manuscript for errors and repetition
- maintains a reference of characters and world details
What it does not do
The limits are set in advance
- does not write for you: the author's text stays yours
- does not decide what stays in the book and what goes
How much time it frees up
By our reviews, a writer spends roughly
12 hours a week on the routine listed above — more than a third of the working week. The assistant does not take all of it: some tasks you will still be checking. But checking something finished is faster than doing it from scratch, and the gain lies in exactly that difference.
How it works
The assistant takes on everything that stands between you and the work: correspondence, briefs, descriptions, the calendar. The creative part stays entirely yours — we do not attempt to substitute for it and do not believe it can be done.
At which stages the assistant helps an author
A timeline and characters that stopped adding up
By chapter twenty the heroine has changed eye colour twice, and the gap between two events is sometimes three days, sometimes a week. The assistant keeps the book's "bible" from your chapters: character cards, places, timeline — and when a new chapter is added it flags what contradicts what was written earlier. You decide; the assistant only shows exactly where the discrepancy is and in which chapters.
Proofreading without losing your voice
Typos, repeated words in neighbouring sentences, superfluous "was" and "which", broken punctuation in dialogue. The assistant does the first pass and returns a list of corrections with explanations, not a rewritten text. Style, rhythm and deliberate departures from the norm stay untouched — you say in advance what is never to be touched.
The synopsis and blurb you don't feel like writing
The publisher needs a two-page synopsis, the platform a 400-character blurb, and you want to "do it and forget it". The assistant assembles drafts from your own manuscript: plot lines, the twist and the ending for the synopsis, and the hook without spoilers for the blurb. Then you adjust the tone instead of building from scratch.
Formatting to requirements
Every publisher and every platform has its own requirements for font, margins, dialogue and heading layout. The assistant brings the manuscript into the required format, prepares the table of contents, numbers the chapters and assembles the file in the form that will be accepted first time.
A plan for the day when the book stalls
The text isn't flowing, and any excuse to get distracted seems important. On your request the assistant puts together a breakdown of the last scene: where the action stopped, which threads are open, what was promised to the reader and not yet delivered. It is not a hint on "what to write" but a map of what is already there — and it is usually easier to start from that.
What the dialogue looks like
You: Added chapter 14, check it against the bible.
Assistant: Read it. Two discrepancies: in chapter 9 Marta's brother left "in early September", in chapter 14 he "returned a month later" — but by the calendar chapter 14 takes place at the end of September. And the tavern in chapter 14 is called "Three Horseshoes", in chapter 6 — "Two Horseshoes". Which do you keep?
You: Two Horseshoes. I'll fix September myself.
Assistant: Corrected the name in chapter 14 and marked "Two Horseshoes" as the main one in the bible. Left the timeline with a "to clarify" note; I'll remove it when you say.
What we need from you at the start
- The manuscript or part of it in any format — the assistant will build the first version of the book's bible from it.
- A list of what does not count as an error in your text: authorial punctuation, dialect, deliberate repetition.
- The publisher's or platform's formatting requirements, if you already have them.
- How you prefer to receive corrections: a list with explanations, marks in the file, or both.
Implementation timeline
The first conversation is about what exactly slows your work down: for some it is proofreading, for others structure. Setup takes two to three days, then we go through one or two chapters together so the assistant learns what not to touch. Usually within a week it works with the manuscript without unnecessary questions.
Frequently asked questions
Won't it rewrite my text "the right way"?
No. By default the assistant returns a list of corrections with explanations, not a new version of the text. It changes the text directly only where you have explicitly allowed it — typos, for example.

Does the manuscript stay with me?
Yes. The assistant works with your files on your side; the text goes nowhere except the place you specified.

Will it work for non-fiction and articles?
Yes: structure, fact-checking against your sources, footnotes and formatting to the editorial requirements — the same set, just without the timeline and characters.

Can I start with proofreading only?
You can. That is the most common first step; the book bible and formatting are added later, once it is clear how much time has been freed up.
