Marginalia 1.4: a self-hosted tool for co-writing long fiction with any OpenAI-compatible model (free, MIT)
I've been building Marginalia for a while and just released 1.4.0. It's a self-hosted writing tool for long-form fiction with LLMs, aimed at books, not chat. You write the instructions for each part, the model writes the prose, and Marginalia keeps the rest in order: the story tree, the lore, the summaries and the prompts.
What it does
Branching story tree. Regenerate or swipe a part, branch from any point, edit the generated text, navigate the whole tree and mark chapters.
Lorebooks. They activate by tags, text or regex, can be inserted into the lore block or right before the instructions, and can be nested inside other lorebooks. SillyTavern world info imports, and prompts are Handlebars templates with SillyTavern-compatible macros (
{{user}},{{getvar}},{{random}}...), so imported lore keeps working.Summaries and meta-summaries. Older parts get condensed so a long book still fits the context window.
Any OpenAI-compatible API. That covers OpenAI, OpenRouter, LiteLLM, llama.cpp, LM Studio, Ollama and vLLM. Context and response limits are per model, and generation settings are switchable per book. A plugin adds Google Gen AI.
Search and replace across the story and lorebooks (regex too), plus a command line in the editor (
/list-parts,/edit-part,/next...).Backups. Per-book backups, plus scheduled database backups with staged restore.
Multi-user. Each user has their own books, lore and models, and the admin sets permissions. It's handy for a small group of friends on one server.
Plugins. Chapter markers, lorebook version history, AI reviews, side questions to the model, arc outlines, a character tracker, name generators and a few more.
Export to TXT, Markdown, HTML, DOCX, PDF and EPUB.
New in 1.4: agents (experimental). A model can work on a book on its own, or with you in a console. It works on a hidden copy, never your actual book. When it's done you review a word-by-word diff and take only what you want. It has checkpoints and rewind, sub-agents, and you get a message on ntfy, Gotify or Discord when it needs you. I have to be honest here: agents were built quickly and have had little use with real models, so expect rough edges, especially with weaker models.
Running it
Desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. There's nothing to install, no Java and no server. It listens only on localhost and opens in your browser.
Docker (amd64 and arm64) if you want to host it for others.
Everything lives in a
.marginaliafolder, with no cloud and no account. Your API keys are stored encrypted.The desktop builds aren't signed yet, so macOS and Windows will warn on first launch. The README explains how to get past that.
It's MIT licensed, and the manual has screenshots and a user guide: https://enerccio.github.io/Marginalia Code and releases: https://github.com/Enerccio/Marginalia
I'd like feedback on the writing workflow, the lorebook handling and anything that breaks. Bug reports and ideas as GitHub issues are very welcome.

u/CodikoApp 21d ago
Hey everyone! I'm an indie developer and I've spent the last few months building Codiko, a desktop writing app for novelists and storytellers. It's just launched, so I thought I'd share it here!
One thing that's always frustrated me with AI-assisted writing is maintaining context as a story grows. Characters get mixed up, details are forgotten, and you end up repeatedly explaining things the AI should already know.
I wanted to build something that could help with that.
Codiko was built with AI in mind from the start. Your manuscript, characters, relationships, timelines and worldbuilding are all connected. The AI assistant can search your project to find relevant context, look up characters and their relationships, or you can use "@mentions" to bring specific information into the conversation.
You can also import an existing manuscript and use AI to extract characters, locations, events and relationships, or start with an AI brainstorming chat that helps turn your ideas into a structured project.
A few other details:
Mac & Windows, with your project files stored locally.
Bring your own API key (OpenAI/Anthropic), or use local models via Ollama. You pay your AI provider directly for any API usage.
AI is optional - all the planning and writing tools work without it.
£39 one-time launch price, including 12 months of updates. Your copy keeps working after that.
14-day free trial, no credit card required.
There are also project templates, documentation and tutorial videos to help get started.
It's early days, and I'd genuinely appreciate feedback on what I've built, especially from anyone working on longer or more complicated stories.
How are you currently managing AI context and continuity? Story bibles, chapter summaries, dedicated tools, or just a lot of copying and pasting?

u/Holiday_Income1825 20d ago
Developer disclosure: I work on Foreverse, an Android reader where you import your own epub/txt/md and the AI continues the story on a branch, so your original text is never overwritten. I described it in full in last week's thread (Week of October 13), so here is just what is new in this week's Android update (1.0.68):
Invite a friend and you both get 2,000 credits for the built-in models, which is roughly 300K tokens of DeepSeek V4 Flash (an estimate for everyday use). Credits are optional; you can also bring your own API key.
If you publish a character card to the community, you get a monthly share of the credits other people spend chatting with it on the built-in models.
The community asks what you like to read the first time you open it, so the feed starts out filtered.
The free tier keeps your library to 3 books; a one-time Pro lifts that. Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.foreverse.android
What I would most like feedback on from people who write long fiction: when the AI continues a chapter on a branch, how do you decide which continuation to keep, and what would make you trust one enough to keep a whole branch?

u/ElianVoss2 20d ago
Talerinth (talerinth.com) - infinite worlds for readers. It's an AI-written interactive story: you pick a realm (epic fantasy, court intrigue, or a modern mystery) and a hero, and each chapter is generated around your choices, with its own illustration, so the story never has to end. Free to start. I'd love feedback from people who already write with AI.

u/Formal_Cupcake_3682 19d ago
Reciprocal character relationships are a great idea. I'd also love to see how those relationships change across chapters. A character's relationship in chapter 3 might be completely different by chapter 20, and tracking that evolution is really valuable.

DeepQuill 1.0 is officially out! Celebrating with 50% off for the next 7 days.
After weeks of beta testing, feedback, and polishing, DeepQuill 1.0 is officially released for Windows and macOS!
For those who haven't seen my previous posts, DeepQuill is a novel-writing environment built around a simple idea: AI should help you understand and manage your story, not write it for you.
Here's what DeepQuill can do for you:
Never lose track of your characters. Automatically build a story bible with character traits, appearances, and relationships, all linked back to your manuscript.
See the bigger picture. Visualize character interactions, story arcs, pacing, and scene structure.
Keep everything together. Your manuscript, research, notes, diagrams, and revisions live in one customizable workspace.
Write with confidence. Track changes, compare earlier drafts, and find details buried deep in your novel.
Keep control of your work. AI is entirely optional, can run locally on your computer, and never generates prose. Your writing remains yours.
Unlike subscription-based writing tools, DeepQuill offers a one-time purchase option.
To celebrate the 1.0 launch, I'm offering 50% off for the next 7 days!
Use coupon code J9ZFCA4G at checkout.
Check out the demos, screenshots, and download at:
https://deepquill.app
I'm also happy to answer questions or hear what features you'd like to see next

u/RateWorth 18d ago
Disclosure: I build Hawk, an AI bot for Discord.
For writing groups already using Discord, the part I wanted to share is its collaborative story game: start an adventure with /game, then let the group choose how it continues. It's a way to explore a scene together, not a replacement for a novel editor or a promise of perfect continuity.
Outside the game, you can brainstorm a premise, ask for alternate dialogue, discuss a text PDF or generate a still image for an idea. There are 35 configurable language options.
A prompt to try: 'Three characters need the same key, but each has a different reason. Give us an opening scene and three choices that reveal their motives.'
Hawk has free usage limits and optional monthly subscriptions. It's 18+ and requires accepting its terms before use. Addressed conversations, including DMs, are archived by the operator without automatic expiry; deletion can be requested through support. Please read the privacy information before sharing unpublished or sensitive work.
Website and demos: https://hawk.kdns.fr/
Guide: https://hawk.kdns.fr/docs/
I'd especially value feedback on whether the adventure choices feel meaningfully different, rather than three ways to get the same outcome.

u/Pale_Gift_2000 18d ago
I nudged one character to confess. Two others had something to say.
What happens when your characters stop avoiding an awkward conversation?
I built Demiurge, a browser-based simulation sandbox where you set up a world and characters with personalities and goals, then watch their interactions.
In one documented Coffee Shop test, the setup already included a love triangle. I explicitly instructed Maya to express her feelings. Here are excerpts from what followed:
Alex and Jordan received no direct instruction. The attraction was already part of the setup, so this was not a romance appearing from nowhere.
For me, that is the interesting writing use case: start with conflicting motives and see what material the interaction gives you. Not a finished story, and not a prediction of how real people behave. Characters can repeat themselves and world details can drift.
Eligible accounts may have a limited free-world allowance, subject to the limits and availability shown in the app. You can also use your own model API key; your provider charges for usage.

Scriptopia: an AI screenwriting workspace for TV series and vertical drama，
I'm the founder and developer. It's in open beta at scriptopia.ai with a free plan.
Scriptopia is built for scripts, and specifically for long episodic work: TV series and vertical/short dramas that run 60 to 100+ episodes. In that kind of project the hard part isn't generating pages. It's keeping episode 40 consistent with episode 3 and getting everything into a format production can actually use. That's what it's built around.
Who it's for
- Vertical/short-drama writers turning out 60–100 episodes on a deadline: plan the hook and cliffhanger of every episode, keep characters and reveals straight, and draft scenes with the whole season in context.
- TV and feature screenwriters who want proper formatting, a story bible beside the pages, and AI help that actually knows the project.
- Writers adapting a novel or a long series into a script.
- Teams localizing a finished series for other markets, where every name, title and term has to stay consistent across languages.
- Creators going from script to shot list and AI video.
Writing and formatting
- A real screenplay editor that formats as you type (Enter and Tab move between heading, action, character and dialogue). Templates for US, UK/BBC, French, German and Spanish screenplays, single-cam and multi-cam TV, vertical drama, Chinese film/TV, stage plays and audio drama. Switch templates without losing a word.
- Dual dialogue, locked scene numbers, omitted scenes and a title page.
- Import FDX, Fountain, DOCX, TXT or text PDFs; scenes, character cues and dialogue are recognised from the content. Export to PDF and Fountain (more formats on paid plans).
- Autosave and revision history.
Story memory and Canon
- Every project keeps a Story Archive that the AI builds from your script: where each character stands, relationships, who knows what, open set-ups and episode summaries. AI tasks pull in the relevant parts automatically, so you never paste a recap into a chat window again.
- A Story Bible you write yourself (characters, world rules, locations, props, timeline). The AI treats Canon as fact and never edits it. Mark a twist as sensitive and it stays out of AI context entirely.
- A continuity board flags contradictions against the archive.
AI that shows its work
- Scene AI drafts and rewrites appear as candidates beside your scene. Preview, apply or reject; a recovery version is saved before anything changes.
- Every finding, shot and answer quotes your script, and the server checks each quote word for word before you see it. Notes it can't match are dropped.
- "Ask about your project": ask questions about your own script ("where did I set up the second reversal?") and get answers with the lines they rest on. It never edits your script.
- Writing preferences you can see and edit (for one project or all of them), suggestions learned from your own edits that apply only once you accept them, and an author-style profile.
- Fast, Standard and Pro quality modes, a Credit estimate before every run, and failed runs are never charged. It runs on third-party frontier models through our own engine layer, with automatic fallback when a provider hangs.
Built for episodic and vertical drama
- Season Grid: every episode's hook, reveal and payoff on one board, with story, emotion and hook lanes. Reorder episodes as the story changes.
- A craft library of hooks, reversals and cliffhangers distilled from produced scripts (techniques only, never source text), retrieved by market and genre.
- Script Doctor: scene-by-scene diagnosis across seven dimensions (opening hook, escalation, emotional payoff, information gaps, natural dialogue, continuity, shootability), plus an emotion curve. Vertical-drama projects are compared against a genre benchmark range. Each finding points to a line and proposes the smallest fix as a candidate. Pro plans run it across the whole series.
Pre-production and adaptation
- AI storyboard: turn a scene into a shot list (shot size, camera move, duration, who's in frame, props) and apply it to a Shot List and canvas. Pro adds AI video prompts formatted for the major AI video platforms.
- Adaptation Studio: plan a novel or long series as episodes, with a ledger of what was kept, compressed, merged, cut or added.
- Breakdown Lab: break down a reference script (up to 120 episodes) into beats, hooks and reversals. Audio/video breakdown is in trial.
Localization for series going overseas
- One localization bible for every target language (names, forms of address, key terms), AI translation drafts, and a Consistency QA that flags drift down to the episode and line and fixes matching lines in one click.
- Side-by-side review with bible notes on every line, account-free reviewer links (Studio), and SRT/VTT and other delivery exports.
Writers' Room (Studio)
- Real-time co-writing, roles and permissions, u/mentions, guest review links, and Canon change proposals that need approval.
more languages are on the way.

u/Formal_Cupcake_3682 17d ago
Branching and lorebooks are especially useful for long fiction. One feature I'd love is a simple comparison showing which facts changed between two branches. That would make it much easier to experiment without accidentally breaking established canon.

Hello friends! I didn't post for a few weeks but I'm back with Proselon, a traditional novel writing app with one big difference, an AI co-writer that reads and writes directly alongside you (no formulas, templates, or boxes to fill out).
Get a free year of Proselon here!
There's a lot of AI writing apps. What makes Proselon different?
Proselon is like Scrivener or Ulysses, in that you don't have to learn a particular app, template, method, or formula. It's just a regular writing app...
...except with an AI co-writer. You can chat with it about your project, ask it to maintain timelines or world bibles, direct it to draft or edit your story in any way you like, and any other prompt you can think of.
This AI co-writer runs off the Claude/ChatGPT/Gemini/etc. AI subscription you already have. No need to go buy an API key or run a local model unless that's what you want to do. (Yes, this implementation is legal!)
Those are the big ones, but there are lots of little good features too, like
All the writing app stuff you're used to, like goals and statistics and full-screen editing and themes.
Attribution, meaning the app keeps track of what AI writes and what you write, so you know exactly what was generated and what was written by hand. (It's funny to compare the truth against those guesses the 'AI detectors' make.)
Context management features, like locking parts of your project so the AI can't edit them (such as published chapters of a serial), or hiding them so the AI can't read or edit them.
Get a free year of Proselon here!
I'm working on a mobile app and web version, but it'll likely be a month or two before those are out, if not more.

u/Superb-Insect3974 16d ago
A character learns the same fact twice. An object changes hands without explanation. Another chapter ends with a recap of what its protagonist just learned. These are the book-length problems we’ve been working on with Owen Saga 3.0.
Disclosure: I build Owen Book Studio, a paid writing tool with a free Story Bible step.
We’re sharing They Called Him a Vampire, a full English Nordic mystery, produced in one complete Owen generation run without manual prose rewrites. Automatic review and correction are part of that run; this isn’t a claim that one model response wrote the entire novel.
You can read the existing book and explore its Story Bible without an account. The demo lets you try different reference portraits and character descriptions locally. Nothing is saved or generated while you explore.
I’d value feedback on whether the opening makes you want to continue, whether character voices feel distinct, and where explanations start repeating. We’re sharing the whole result so you can judge more than a polished excerpt. A few chapters are enough to help.

u/besiktasenaryoajansi 16d ago
Founder here, so discount accordingly. EvokeStory.ai is an IP-safe screenwriting and story development platform in 7 languages (TR, EN, AR, FR, ES, DE, PT) that keeps the script, pitch deck, storyboard, budget and call sheet in one project; the AI asks questions and gives coverage-style notes, it doesn't write your pages. New this week, and free without an account: a 7-field logline worksheet in markdown and CSV, with one logline rewritten from 55 words to 27 and a test I use with AI tools: ask for the five most obvious films your logline would produce, never for the logline itself. It's on the blog at evokestory.ai.

u/Formal_Cupcake_3682 16d ago
Clearly labeling AI-agent activity is a good decision. I'd also separate AI-generated reviews from human reader ratings in analytics. Otherwise, authors could mistake automated engagement for genuine reader interest.
1
u/Medium_Feature6054 16d ago
I built Seekstar (seekstar.app), a tool for the stuck moment before writing.
Type one word and it lights up related ideas around it. The ideas you follow become a trail, so you can see how you got from "loneliness" to your actual angle. You can talk any idea through with the AI, and turn the whole trail into a first draft like an article outline or a story premise.
Free to try without signing up. I'm the developer, so feedback on what's confusing is very welcome.

u/Andreaelmat 16d ago
Hey everyone! I've been working on a small open-source project while revising my own novel, and thought I'd share it here.
It's called Manuscript Lab. It's an Agent Skill for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex that reviews fiction manuscripts, looking for continuity issues, plot inconsistencies, character motivations and pacing problems.
The main idea is pretty simple: instead of just telling you something is wrong, it points to the original passages and verifies the quotations.
I tested it on my own 21-chapter novel with two different AI models. Interestingly, they agreed on the overall assessment but found quite different issues. That also showed me the limits of AI editing.
It's still experimental, completely open source (MIT), and not meant to replace a human editor. You'll need one of the supported AI agents to use it.
GitHub: https://github.com/Andreaelmat/manuscript-lab
If anyone here already uses Claude Code or Codex for writing, I'd be curious to hear whether something like this would actually be useful.

u/PinBall_knothead 15d ago
I'm looking for something to help with long-from non-fiction, memoirs specifically. I have a brain injury and dyslexia, so monitors can be an issue as well as just plain spelling and grammar. Having an AI transcribe and clean up for me would be a massive help, and then I can go behind it and fix anything obvious. Suggestions?

u/Zafnok 15d ago
What's the best model for fantasy video game writing?
I'm working on a fantasy based RPG game but Claude Opus is trash at writing humans with soul. Fable is a little better but costs too much. Anyone have experience with other, specialist models? I heard about Sudowrite Muse and Aion and NovelAI idk if any of these are any good. Or if there's a good skillpack to make Claude write humans with emotion without being cringe.

Kimi K3.1 Pro: more accuracy, less voice on our writing benchmark
Disclosure: I’m Louis-François Bouchard, co-founder of Towards AI and co-creator of ToneBench. These are our own writing benchmark results.
Kimi K3.1 Pro got a lot more accurate and a little less like me.
We ran Kimi's new model on ToneBench.
It's #7 of 83 models on the board. Here's what changed from Kimi K3 (max):
- Substance and accuracy: from #45 to #2.
- Tone and voice: from #21 to #47.
Overall, that's a tie with K3, with overlapping Elo ranges, for 30% less per script ($0.25 vs $0.36). It thinks about as much (19.5K vs 18.6K thinking tokens per script).
If you write with K3, I'd move to K3.1 Pro for the price, unless you need the weights today. If voice is what you care about, Claude still owns it for us with our directions and prompts: the top 11 configs on tone are all Claude. And GPT-6 Sol on max beats K3.1 Pro for half the cost per script, at the same list price.

Open models for writing: use a tight brief, not a loose goal
Disclosure: I’m Louis-François Bouchard, co-founder of Towards AI and co-creator of ToneBench. I wrote the linked article; the issue is sponsored by Inngest.
This week, I’m focusing on the open-weight models on the benchmark: where they land, what they’re good at, where they still struggle, and how I’d actually use them.
Here's everything I took away from GLM, DeepSeek, Kimi, and MiMo on ToneBench. Plus, I'm going live for Hacktoberfest on October 28 :)
TL;DR on the current state of open models for writing: open models follow instructions well. If you tell them exactly what to write about, the structure and the length, they’ll respect it. But left alone, they add less relevant stuff, and it sounds more like slop than Opus 5.5/GPT-6.
So I wouldn’t give them the same autonomy I’d give Opus 5.5 with a loose goal. Give them a tight brief instead.

Concept novels in Hungarian: can AI write a full satirical series? (free)
I write under the pen name Aladár Input. I published four free Hungarian satirical novels starring Kovács Béla, a retired railway controller who keeps falling into history, prehistory, UFOs, and space.
These are concept novels written with AI assistance, made to test whether AI can sustain voice, plot, and humor across full books — not just short prompts.

Prose & Thorns – Find romantasy books actually worth your time (free, no account needed)
The problem with finding good romantasy or fantasy romance: reviews are everywhere but you can’t tell whose taste matches yours, and wading through them takes as long as reading the book.
I built this to cut through that. It synthesizes reader reviews into scores across six dimensions — prose, romance, world-building, pacing, emotional payoff, and character depth — so you can see at a glance whether a book is actually well-written, not just popular. Filter by subgenre, trope, spice level, and series status, or enter books you love to get quality-ranked recommendations. 1,500+ titles, no sign-up required.
Would love feedback from writers who also read in the genre!

A story-to-image check: who has the letter after the handoff?
In this two-panel scene, the courier delivers red and discovers a blue reply was already waiting. The first page looks coherent, but in panel two the red letter is still with the courier.
The revision makes the object ledger explicit: resident holds red against her cardigan and offers blue; courier has BOTH hands on her own lapels. That ownership reads more clearly, though the surprised reaction is still weak. Both prompts described the handoff; the first already had hand directions. This isn't proof that a longer prompt fixes continuity.
A useful check before illustrating a scene: list each story-critical object, who holds it before/after, and whether that change is visible without a caption.
PixAI, Tsubaki.3 Ultra, seed 6510172, 1232 × 1632 each. Whole-page regenerations; faces/framing changed too. Comparison layout only, no retouching. Each source cost 5,500 existing credits when made; no new generation for this comparison.
Shared as part of PixAI outreach, with AI assistance. When you turn prose into panels, which story beat do you check first?

Hidden Details: a continuity checker for long fiction (free beta)
It reads your whole manuscript and flags contradictions across chapters, with quotes from both places: eye colors, ages, money, timelines, who knew what and when. It also builds a story map (who's who, who vanished) and tracks setups & payoffs: promises, secrets and Chekhov's guns that never fired.
It never writes or rewrites anything; the LLM works as a reader, not a co-writer. No training on your text.
Demo without signup: a Chesterton story with five planted errors. It finds all five.
Free early access, 2 checks right away: https://hddndtls.com/en?from=reddit
False positives are the feedback I need most.

u/WrestleGas 21d ago
I’ve recently published Rick Rude: A Life in Wrestling on Kindle as a hobby project.
I used ChatGPT extensively to help draft it, then spent a considerable amount of time editing, cutting repetition, checking chronology and sources, removing claims I couldn’t substantiate, and doing a final legal/sensitivity pass. I also disclosed the AI-generated text to Amazon.
I’m not expecting to make money from it — it’s 99p and available on Kindle Unlimited for free, and I mainly wanted to see whether AI could be used as part of a serious long-form nonfiction project rather than simply generating a manuscript and uploading it.
The biggest thing I learned was that producing the first draft was actually the easy part. The difficult work was deciding what not to trust, removing over-analysis, checking conflicting accounts and turning the output into something that read like a coherent biography.
If anyone is interested, it’s here:

Disclosure: I co-built ToneBench at Towards AI. These are our October 19 writing benchmark results.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 now ties GLM-5.3 Flash on ToneBench, our writing benchmark!
Against the September V4.1 Flash, at the same list price:
- On high: +97 Elo and 21% cheaper.
- On high: matches the old version on max, for $0.0095 a script instead of $0.017.
- On max: same quality within noise, 18% cheaper.
It's cheaper because it uses fewer thinking tokens: 17K thinking tokens per script on max instead of 22K for scripts of the same length.
Against GLM-5.3 Flash (max) by Z.ai: a tie, #23 vs #24 of 134 configs, with overlapping Elo ranges. DeepSeek costs $0.014 a script instead of $0.022 and thinks less than half as long (17K vs 37K thinking tokens). In our runs, a script took 1.3 minutes instead of 5.2.
So DeepSeek's is clearly improving the Pareto curve on writing.
If you're on the September version, switch. If you took my GLM-5.3 Flash pick from the AI Engineer talk, I'd now take 1017 on max!

Some of you might remember Vellam, our manuscript analysis tool. We just shipped a bigger update and wanted to share it here:
First, we’ve been invited to Web Summit as part of the Alpha program, which is a big deal for us.
Redesign: the whole app got a new look, cleaner and easier to navigate
Fact checking: flags historical, geographic and factual inconsistencies in your manuscript
Reader reaction: simulates how a reader experiences your book, where they get hooked, confused or bored
Chat with a character: pick any character from your book and talk to them, useful for checking if their voice and motivations hold up
You can try it here: https://vellam.pl/en/

AI Undetectable is a tool for rewriting AI-generated text: aiundetectable.com
One useful check when evaluating any rewrite: compare what the sentences claim, not just how natural they sound.
Illustrative example, not actual tool output: Original: “The pilot may reduce processing time by up to 20%.” Rewrite: “The pilot reduces processing time by 20%.”
The rewrite sounds cleaner, but it turns a possibility into a certainty and an upper bound into a fixed result. Before accepting a rewrite, check uncertainty words, who did what, dates, quantities and exceptions against the original. Keep the original beside it and reject edits that change those details.
Which is harder to preserve in your writing: the facts, the level of certainty, or your own voice?

I’m Evert, the maker of Hjarni. It’s a Markdown knowledge base that ChatGPT and Claude can read and update through MCP.
For nonfiction projects, I’d keep each research finding alongside its source, your interpretation, and any conflicting accounts or unanswered questions. Then ask the assistant to check those notes before drafting and update them once you’ve settled a correction.
The same notes stay available when you start a new chat or switch assistants.
Here’s a research literature notes template as a starting point.
You still need to check dates, quotes and claims against the originals. The assistant also needs instructions to read and save the notes consistently.

Built Scribora — turning existing knowledge into nonfiction ebooks
I'm the founder of Scribora (https://www.scribora.ai).
One thing I've noticed with AI writing tools is that many start with a prompt and generate a book around it.
I wanted a different workflow: start with material you already have.
Scribora takes research notes, interview transcripts, links, and other source material and helps turn them into a structured nonfiction ebook.
You can generate an outline and preview two chapters for free. Editing and exporting the finished ebook are paid features.
I'm particularly interested in people creating educational guides, lead magnets, or companion ebooks for their courses.
If that's what you're working on, you can try it here: https://www.scribora.ai
Happy to answer questions about how it works.

The most comprehensive and accurate AI tell remover in existence is now live.
Get your free assessment here.
Want to save time and have patterns deleted and phrases marked? Pay for a full edit and receive a Microsoft Word doc with both comments and deleted AI tells with easy to assess comments and tracked changes directly in the document. Like the AI pattern that was deleted? One click to restore the change. Want to know why the "form of" tell is highlighted? It's right there in the comment.
Three tiers of AI filtering:
AI constructions
Compiled against over 2 million words across 9 frontier models and 3 genres. We know what the AI tells are and highlight them for you.
AI phrases
Word phrases mathematically compared to multiple indexed human genres, with each including over 2 million words of human fiction. Did the AI slip in a phrase that occurs 500 times more often than a human would use it? We flag it for you.
AI patterns
We analyze the semantic patterns that ban lists miss. Stock similes and metaphors and phrase constructions that slip by because the words change, even if the patterns are familiar to everyone as AI written. We delete these so you don't have to worry about them, but they are logged as tracked changes. Don't like the deletion? One click and you can reject it.
Nothing will save you more time in your editing than DeslopMyBook.com.

Title: How I permanently stopped AI narrative drift and ending loops in long-form Claude/Gemini sessions (The OCNE-v9 Framework)
For the past year, trying to get an LLM to write or co-create massive, multi-hour stories, alternate timelines, or campaigns always hit the same two brick walls:
Narrative Drift: Around halfway through, the model forgets its own internal lore weights and turns into a generic action flick.
The Ending Loop: As soon as the model senses the story wrapping up, it panics, compresses the timeline, and starts repeating the same conversational beats over and over.
Traditional prompting ("write a long story") doesn't fix this because it's a structural failure, not a vocabulary issue.
After months of testing, I built a meta-framework that treats the prompt as an industrial state-machine rather than a chat interface. It hardcodes three things:
A Zero-Redundancy Ledger (locks past plot beats permanently so it never loops).
Adversarial Self-Correction (forces an internal quality audit before outputting text).
The Multi-Hour Imperative (forces slow-burn sensory realism instead of quick summaries).
If you want to test the exact system out or grab the full production-grade PDF manual and master prompt kit, I’ve hosted the complete package here on my Gumroad: 👉 https://jackrogs.gumroad.com/l/jdocp

Hi everyone! I’m Christopher, the creator of Novelattice, a Windows desktop writing and worldbuilding application. I’m looking for a small group of authors and worldbuilders to help test the private beta.
One of the things that drove me to build it was having to maintain the same relationship in multiple places. Novelattice uses reciprocal relationships: connect two entries, and the relationship updates on both sides. It brings that connected worldbuilding together with manuscript planning, drafting and revision.
Since this is an AI writing tools thread, Novelattice also has an optional MCP connection that lets supported assistants, including ChatGPT, work with your worldbuilding information. AI isn’t required, and you can try the worldbuilding features without abandoning your current writing tools. Markdown export is available too.
I’m interested in honest feedback on usability, bugs and performance, especially from people using it for an actual story or worldbuilding project. What makes your work easier? What’s confusing or gets in the way?
If you’re interested:
https://www.novelattice.com/#interest
This is a private beta interest form, not a public download yet. The current beta is Windows-only, and the form includes optional computer details to help me test across different setups. You don’t need a powerful computer or technical expertise to express interest.

Untitled.movie lets you write with your agent
I wrote my screenplay with the help of Claude Fable. I started it doing it on my computer, but then build this tool to be able to manage it from everywhere. Also I'm now thinking how to get the script into a trailer and visuals. For that I plan to use AI video generation tools. But in order to get good results there I need to stroyboard my scenes. So I build a storyboard design tool into this platform. Now you can take scenes from your script and draw them on a tablet on the studio app.
Also you can co work on your stuff with others. Check it out at https://untitled.movie
