Studio 01 · Plan

Where a book lives before it's written.

The Plan studio holds the connective tissue of your novel, outline, cast, world, beats, research. Every artifact you create here gets read by the AI in Write, Edit, Pitch, and Sell. Fill in a character once; the line editor knows their voice forever.

Chapter 01·What's inside

Six tabs. One connected story bible.

Outline

Acts and scenes with status flags. Drag to reorder, click into any scene for chapter-level notes. Reads back into the developmental editor for structural feedback.

Characters

Full profiles with goals, conflicts, arcs, voice notes, AI-generated portraits, and structured connections to other characters. The line editor uses these for voice-consistency feedback.

World building

Locations, factions, magic systems, history, culture, each with category-appropriate fields and optional AI renders. Surfaces in the dev editor's structural notes.

Research notes

Tags, folders, pinned notes. Captured facts and quick ideas live here and feed the research-tab assistant when you ask context-specific questions.

Beat sheets

Pick a framework, Save the Cat, Hero's Journey, Snowflake, 12 Acts, and fill in synopses per beat. Editable as the story changes.

Relationships canvas

One graph for every connection between characters, locations, and research notes. Drag to draw new edges; click a node to inspect it. Hidden plot threads become obvious.

Chapter 02·The compounding effect

The more you put in, the smarter every other tool gets.

Every Plan tab has a small AI assistant in its header. Same assistant on every tab , it just changes what it reads. On the research tab it can do live web searches; everywhere else it answers from your project's existing data.

When you draft a chapter in Write, the assistant there already knows your characters, your world, your beats. When the developmental editor analyzes a chapter, it reads your outline to see where the chapter fits. When you draft a query letter in Pitch, your synopsis and comps drop in automatically. Nothing is required, the tools degrade gracefully, but every piece you fill in makes the next one better.
