How can we make Sudowrite better?

Please tell us how we improve Sudowrite for you.

One dash board but able to use it for different pen names

On the main screen after signing in, there is a main folder with pen names. When you click on that, it brings up projects for the pen name in question. So you can only see the works of that pen name instead of trying to search through endless current projects to find the right one. I currently write romance novels online and am known for them, but I am looking at writing horror as well and already have a lot romance novels but its hard enough now trying to find the write one or could we add a slot to the story bible for pen name, and book covers maybe to make it easier if we can’t have away side tap folders so it cleans up what novels go to what pen name.

Worldbuilding Changes Needed

I recently came over from an outdated platform to this solution and found that the main component of Sudowrite is amazing and light years ahead of your competition, especially when I tested out several other options writing just under 100,000 words in 3 different programs. However I am hesitant to move my current character information over. There seems to be a lack of functionality in your worldbuilding component. Even an antiquated system such as Scrivener provides more organization context within the worldbuilding format. Don’t get me wrong, comparing Sudowrite to Scrivener is similar to comparing night and day. Sudowrite is superior for writing in every way 1990’s vs 2020 technology. I would ask that some attention is given to the worldbuilding before you fall behind to another competitor as I have sampled some better worldbuilding management features from other programs. Your worldbuilding component has a great foundation with the ability to shut off visibility in each field from the AI. Its also easy to change field names or add traits. But compared to your competition that is the extent of your superiority. Once I started adding new characters and spell skills and their tiers, I found myself scrolling endlessly down a list of names and fields. What I am looking for is an organizational process to manage both the world and the characters. I have 2 books as old school fantasy novels and 2 books as LITRpg as their sequel. And here lies the problem, with one of my LITRpg characters. I have 18+ field boxes. 6 for current spells 6 non-visible fields for spell progression, background, behavior, family (No tie in option in sudowrite), Growth field for life altering events, field for plot exposed both visible and non visible, tie in boxes from the prequel books. So 19-20 fields? What Sudowrite’s needs is more organization within characters and worldbuilding. The suggestions I am mentioning are because I was unable to find fixes in your help and through you tube tutorial videos which most are outdated by a year. If I could suggest a few fixes. Adding in filters, If I want to look up historical events or LITRpg messages that I created a worldbuilding box for. I can select the custom name in the filter and it will bring up all those option. In the fantasy books in Scrivener, I have 221 characters with less than 30 that are ongoing characters. Scrolling in the current sudowrite aspect would be difficult. There I just select a drop down arrow and I pull up the characters while I am writing. Click on that character and I have more drop down options. and so forth. A multiple filtering option for LITRpg if possible. For example LITRpg, filter that category and then subcategory system messages, achievements, warnings from spell misfires for example. Characters need to be easier to manage. I don’t need to see a character that is part of a plot line from book 1 not appearing until book 5. Even though I am adding references to that character mentioned as I write. That character doesn’t need to be scrolled through every time I look for a supporting character. In Sudowrite in 109,000 words I currently have 14 characters that I don’t need to see for another book or 2. I have 21 worldbuilding events that are hints at future events. 11 LITRpg events, 6 cities I mentioned with characters referenced in them, 4 academies that are at this time only as references with professors who came from those schools and talks infrequently about them. These are things I don’t need to constantly fill my list and I should have a process to move them to avoid them from cluttering my field of my main story plot characters but easily accessible to add notes into as they are referenced. In Squibler I had a drop down option to pull cities down, then I have buildings, people, events, misc characters (incase I need a name of someone later on) and I can drop those fields down to find who or what I am looking for add the notes and done. In Sudowrite, I have to scroll through all the characters or fields to find it. Maybe an option to put it into future events so it removes it to another field like worldbuilding, characters, outline, synopsis Spell management- Killer option in Sudowrite. I think Dabble and Squibler were made by the same guy as I tested them as they are very similar but Dabble had a plot management tool which is similar to Sudowrites but A lot more easier to use and build. With every character having spells in my books (for the most part) Having to scroll through the fields is painful. In dabbler I click on the plots window and then the characters, click on the character and one of the blocks or sticky notes is the the spell fields. I open it. I have a blocks with the current spells, horizontally 1-6 and below them I have a block (closed or a single sticky note) with the spells future progression. In Squibler, I click the character name, go to the spell, click the spell and it moves me from the writing window to the spell information. Then I click on the chapter I was writing and I have my information but its not always fluid in the supposed process. In Sudowrite, I open another window on PC, scroll to the spell (I have it in both character and worldbuilding because 20 fields were too much to scroll through to get that one spell information. And I open it up and get the information. When I update it in Sudowrite I update both the character and the worldbuilding spell. Maybe drop down fields under the character to choose what I am looking for?

Story bible and editing enhancements

I see a meaningful opportunity to expand its value for authors who are in the editing and revision phase. 1. Auto-Build Story Bible from Completed Manuscripts It would be extremely valuable to have the option to extract key elements, such as characters, locations, themes, and plot threads, directly from a fully uploaded manuscript into the Story Bible. The tool successfully generated Story Bible content from the first chapter I uploaded, but it did not continue doing so as I added additional chapters. There also did not appear to be a manual option to trigger this process after uploading the remaining completed chapters. An enhancement allowing users to: Automatically build or refresh the Story Bible from the full manuscript Manually trigger extraction after additional uploads Re-scan the manuscript as revisions are made would significantly improve usability for authors working with completed drafts. 2. Direct Editing Integration Between Chat and Manuscript When requesting a full chapter review, I needed to copy and paste the chapter into the chat interface. While the AI provided excellent inline feedback within the chat, those edits were not reflected directly in the manuscript editor. Integrating chat-based feedback directly into the manuscript window, such as inline comments, suggested edits, or tracked-change style revisions, would dramatically increase the tool’s editing value. This would reduce friction and prevent the need for manual transfer of suggestions from chat back into the manuscript. For authors in the revision phase, this kind of seamless integration would make Sudowrite not just a drafting companion, but a full-spectrum manuscript development platform.

Unlimited Credits

Dear Sudo-Team, I know this request is already being considered, but I once again plead for this to actually happen. Many agree that for those of us who use Sudo-Write daily, an option with limitless credits would be perfect. You cannot use the program without credits. Everything the program offers as a tool uses credits, and if you edit only 4 chapters with 7000 to 18.000 words, 2.000.000 credits slip away with the snap of a finger. It is really frustrating, because I would LOVE to use this program frequently, but I cannot because I cannot spend hundreds of euros per month to buy credits that will be gone within hours, anyway. Right now, I use the max plan, which is $59 per month, 44 yearly. Even with the $44 I pay, I'm over $500 per year, and still cannot fully enjoy or use the program, which is sad. Very sad. I have used many authoring programs in the past few years, and none is as beautifully crafted and promising as Sudo. However, it takes the fun out if I can only use the tools in a limited way and have to constantly worry about when and which tool to use, because otherwise the credits will be gone. I won’t use the program just to write my manuscript there. I can do that in Word or Google Docs for free, but I won’t have any fancy tools. Many have been requesting this, and I’ve seen many talk about this. Another thing would be that if you were to make this happen, that the price on the unlimited credit option should still be manageable and not over the top, so it’s not affordable anymore either. For example, have the unlimited credit option be $70 per month. That would be manageable for many. Also, judging by how many would LOVE to use the unlimited option, you’d profit twice as much by offering it to us, because more people would go for it. I would. I definitely would. Greetings, and a happy New Year 2026! Julia
