This is the release I have been building toward. It is also the one I have been most careful about.
I do not want software that writes your novel. I want the equivalent of a sharp, patient editor who has read every page and remembers all of it. This release is my attempt at that.
It began quietly, with support for locally installed AI assistants that could list your books and revise content on your own machine, under your control. This release turns that first step into something far more capable, and keeps every one of the commitments underneath it.
The AI Line Editor applies your style guide to selected prose, showing every change as a tracked insertion or deletion so nothing is altered without your consent. The Continuity Manager runs six checks across a manuscript: scenes against their characters and locations, description drift, timeline and travel-time mismatches, world-rule compliance, and consistency across an entire series. It reports what it finds as inline comments you can triage. Profile and outline generators can draft a character or location profile from every scene it appears in, or a full book treatment for your scratch pad.
Two commitments sit underneath all of it. First, transparency: every AI operation reports its token count and estimated cost, you choose the model per task, and you can read the exact prompt before it runs. Second, your voice stays yours. The tools suggest and flag; you decide.
The release also adds inline comments for your own editorial notes, an attachments manager, and continues the cloud-sync protection that keeps an open project safe. Ambitious features deserve conservative guarantees. This release tries to earn both.
If you would rather never use any of this, nothing changes for you. It stays out of the way until you reach for it, and your book is written entirely by you either way.
