AI Assistant for Writers

Beat the blank page

Writing is hard. An AI assistant helps with research, brainstorming, and organization so you can focus on the creative work.

Get Started Free

Sound familiar?

These are the daily frustrations that drain your energy and steal your time.

😫

Staring at blank pages

You sit down to write, cursor blinking, and... nothing. The ideas that seemed so vivid in the shower have evaporated. Getting started is the hardest part, and you face it every single day.

😫

Research rabbit holes

You need one fact and three hours later you're reading about medieval farming techniques. Research is necessary but dangerous. It's easy to convince yourself you're working when you're just avoiding the writing.

😫

Losing track of ideas

The perfect line comes to you at 2am, in the shower, on a walk. By the time you can write it down, it's gone. You have notes scattered across apps, notebooks, and napkins, but finding them when you need them? Impossible.

😫

Deadline anxiety

The deadline is next week. Or next month. Far enough away to ignore, until suddenly it's tomorrow. The pressure builds until writing becomes a panic-fueled sprint instead of a craft.

😫

Editing paralysis

Is this good? Is this terrible? Should you rewrite the whole thing? You've read it so many times the words have lost meaning. You need a fresh perspective but hate sharing rough work.

😫

The loneliness of writing

Writing is solitary by nature. No teammates to bounce ideas off, no office chatter, no one to commiserate with when the words won't come. It's just you and the page, day after day.

With an AI assistant, you can...

Transform how you work. Here's what becomes possible.

Brainstorm ideas anytime via chat

Stuck? Talk to your AI. Describe what you're working on and explore angles together. It's like having a creative partner who's always available and never judges your rough ideas.

Example:

'I'm writing about a character who discovers their grandmother was a spy. What's an interesting way to reveal this?' AI: 'Here are five options: finding coded letters, a mysterious safety deposit box, a stranger at the funeral, a deathbed confession, or a historian who calls asking about her...'

Research summaries delivered to you

Need background on Renaissance poisoning methods? The economy of 1920s Chicago? Ask your AI. It gathers relevant information and summarizes it, keeping you out of the rabbit hole.

Example:

'I need to understand Victorian mourning customs for my novel.' AI: 'Here's a summary: mourning periods, dress codes, jewelry traditions, and social expectations. Should I go deeper on any of these?'

Capture ideas on the go (voice notes)

Send your AI a voice note from anywhere. It transcribes, categorizes, and saves your idea with the right project. No more lost flashes of inspiration.

Example:

Walking your dog, you mumble into your phone: 'What if the detective's partner is secretly the killer's brother?' Your AI saves it under your mystery novel notes with the timestamp and context.

Stay on track with writing sprints

Set writing goals and your AI holds you accountable. Daily word counts, project milestones, deadline tracking. Gentle nudges when you're falling behind, celebration when you're crushing it.

Example:

'I need to write 50,000 words by end of month.' AI: 'That's 1,667 words per day. Want me to check in each evening? I'll track your progress and adjust the target if you fall behind.'

Instant access to all your notes

Remember that character detail you wrote down months ago? The plot twist you considered and rejected? Ask your AI. It searches all your notes and surfaces exactly what you need.

Example:

'What did I decide about Sarah's backstory?' AI: 'In your notes from December, you wrote that she grew up in foster care after her parents died in a car accident. You later considered making her an only child, but then decided she has an estranged brother.'

First-draft feedback without vulnerability

Share rough work with your AI for initial feedback. It won't judge, won't remember your failures, and can point out inconsistencies or unclear passages before you show anyone else.

A day in the life

Here's how an AI assistant supports a writer's creative process:

7:00 AM

Morning message: 'Good morning! You're at 32,450 words, 67% toward your 50k goal. Today's target: 1,500 words. You left off mid-scene where Elena discovers the letter. Ready to pick up there?'

9:00 AM

Stuck on a plot point. Ask your AI: 'Why would someone in 1890s London send an anonymous letter?' You get five historically plausible scenarios to consider.

11:00 AM

Voice note while making coffee: 'The letter should be in French. Elena doesn't speak French. This creates tension.' AI saves it under Chapter 12 notes.

2:00 PM

Need a quick fact. 'What flowers bloom in English gardens in June?' AI: 'Roses, peonies, lavender, foxgloves, and delphiniums are all common.' You pick peonies for your scene.

5:00 PM

Done writing for the day. AI: 'Great session! 1,782 words today. You're now ahead of schedule. Tomorrow's target can be lighter if you want.'

9:00 PM

Idea strikes while reading. Quick text to AI: 'What if the detective knows more than he's letting on?' Saved to plot twist ideas.

💬

Having somewhere to dump ideas anytime and actually find them later changed my writing process. I used to have sticky notes everywhere. Now I just text my AI and everything is searchable. My novel is finally moving forward.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from writers like you.

Can the AI write for me?

It can help you write: brainstorming, outlining, editing suggestions, research. But the creative work is yours. Think of it as a tool, not a replacement. Most writers find AI-generated prose lacks their voice.

What about plagiarism and ownership?

Ideas generated in conversation with AI are yours to use. The AI doesn't publish or share your work. If you're concerned about specific outputs, consider running them through plagiarism checkers before publication.

How does it handle different projects?

You can organize notes, ideas, and research by project. Ask your AI to only reference one project at a time, or let it make connections across your work.

Can it read and give feedback on my manuscript?

Yes. Share text and ask for feedback on pacing, dialogue, inconsistencies, or whatever you need. It won't replace a human editor but can catch issues before you share with others.
