Writing and Editing with AI Assistance
How does AI assistance work for an author on Book Writer?
The AI acts as a co-author or editor. You write the story yourself, but you can use the Slash Command menu or Scene Beat tools to ask the AI to expand on a specific idea, describe a setting, or bridge two scenes. You can also use the Rephrase tool to polish sentences you’ve already written.
Can I ask the AI for suggestions on how to continue?
Yes. If you hit a wall, you can ask the AI for a "Scene Beat"—a short suggestion of what might happen next—which you can then expand upon yourself.
Is this tool meant for the AI to write the whole story for me?
While the AI can generate large amounts of text, Book Writer is optimized for human-led writing. The best results come when you write the core narrative and use the AI to handle repetitive tasks, optimize prose, or generate ideas for specific scenes.
Can I edit the AI-generated content?
Absolutely. AI output is just a draft. You are expected to edit, refine, and rewrite the content to match your unique voice.
How do I use the Rephrase tool?
Highlight any paragraph or sentence you have written, and select "Rephrase." You can instruct the AI to make it "more descriptive," "shorter," "funnier," or "more dramatic."
Can I control the creativity of the AI?
Yes, by adjusting the Temperature setting. Higher temperature makes the AI more inventive and unpredictable; lower temperature makes it more logical and focused.
Can the AI help with character names and descriptions?
Yes. You can use the Codex or input fields to ask the AI to generate character profiles or names, which you can then incorporate into your writing.
What are the best practices for using Book Writer?
Treat the AI as a junior writing partner. Give it clear instructions (e.g., "Write a dialogue where they argue about money"), review its output critically, and rewrite the results to ensure the soul of the story remains yours.
How does the AI adapt to my tone?
The AI analyzes the text you have already written (the context) to mimic your style. The more you write, the better the AI becomes at matching your voice.
Can the AI help with writer's block?
This is one of its primary functions. If you are stuck, ask the AI to "brainstorm 3 possible plot twists" or "describe the room in detail" to get your creative gears turning again.
How does Book Writer handle content guidelines?
Authors are responsible for the content they create. While the AI has safety filters, you should ensure your story adheres to community standards if you choose to publish it publicly.
Is there a limit to story length?
No. You can write epics of any length. The only limit is your credit balance for AI usage.
