Skill Leveling

HI! I think Suduwrite is a great tool for people who want to write, people who do write and for people who are learning to write. However, I think that the level of skill differs from person to person, so I think the level of creative freedom for the AI should also vary. I am a writer, I generally use Sudo because sometimes it's hard for me to articulate my ideas cohesively. A few times I’ve gotten frustrated with generations. For example, I basically tell every single conversation/dialogue, interaction, setting, emotions of the characters in the outline summary of a chapter. When I click generate scenes, I expect, especially since the scenes are how the story is being told, for the scenes to be more detailed if not as detailed and not generalized or generic. However, I have to edit heavily and put back specific details that I already shared in the chapter outline summary section. I understand that there are people who have Sudo create the story for them, but I am an author who brings my already concepted WIPS here and I was just hoping that there could be something to aid in that? I don’t know if I am explaining this correctly. But I’ll post anyway, just in case someone understands what I mean. Thank you XOXO

Automatic Chapter-Document Linking/Title refresh

It is incredibly time consuming to go through and reconnect every individual chapter after adding a chapter to the outline. If the other chapter titles haven’t changed, why can’t you program the system to keep the document connections simply resequencing the chapter numbers? If you have 40 chapters and add one in the middle (or split a chapter), manually reconnecting 41 chapters is intensely slow and is a wasted hour that is spent grumbling about Sudowrite and considering finding other software to use that doesn’t work against my process, especially when the feature is already half there because “once links are set, they remain saved even if you edit or move content within your project.”. P.S. It would be lovely if the document names would also auto-refresh to match there connector chapter in the outline. :) From chat help for additional context: Automatic linking happens only when new chapters are created from the Outline or from the project’s + New menu. In those cases, Sudowrite links them sequentially, attaching the Outline’s chapter summary and connecting to the most recent related chapter. Manual linking is needed when a new document is added later or if chapter order or structure changes after creation. You can manage this by opening the More (•••) menu next to each document’s title and using the Document Linking Menu to connect or disconnect chapters as needed. For now, reconnecting documents must be done individually, but once links are set, they remain saved even if you edit or move content within your project. If you’d like to see a feature that automatically refreshes or reestablishes all document links after Outline changes, I’d recommend sharing that feedback through Sudowrite’s in-app support chat — the team actively collects ideas like this for future updates

Inserting pictures

Something that is missing in Sudowrite is the option to insert a picture (for your own use or even for the AI to read it). Uploading the cover is one thing, but sometimes a picture gives context which is vital for the story. A map, a layout of a place, a character - all these things could be communicated to Sudowrite’s AI through an image created by the writer. I think it is a vital addition if you want to take Sudowrite to the next level.

AI Consistency & Workflow Limitations Overview

AI Consistency & Workflow Limitations Overview This report outlines significant challenges encountered when using Sudowrite for long‑form fiction writing. The issues primarily relate to context retention, continuity, instruction adherence, and workflow disruption, all of which directly impact writing efficiency and creative flow. 1. Inconsistent Context Retention Across Scenes and Chapters Despite providing detailed outlines, explicit instructions, and directions for each chapter, the AI frequently fails to maintain continuity. Specific issues include: Forgetting what was written in previous scenes or chapters Ignoring established facts, character knowledge, or worldbuilding rules Reintroducing contradictions even after being corrected Losing track of emotional arcs, tone, and pacing previously set This results in the need to repeatedly restate the same information, which significantly slows down the writing process. 2. Failure to Follow Explicit Instructions The AI often disregards direct, clear guidance, such as: Characters not knowing they are on the same planet or in the same room Characters not recognizing or sensing anything familiar about each other Maintaining uncertainty about whether a rift was natural or artificial Even when these constraints are emphasized, the AI introduces: Hints of recognition between characters Knowledge the characters should not possess Retcons that contradict earlier chapters This forces manual rewrites and undermines the intended narrative structure. 3. Continuity Errors in Worldbuilding and Plot Logic Examples of recurring continuity issues include: Characters suddenly “knowing” the rift was artificially created, despite earlier chapters establishing that they believed it was natural Shifts in plot logic that contradict the outline or previously generated content Scene‑to‑scene inconsistencies that break immersion and disrupt the story’s internal logic These errors require extensive correction and reduce the usefulness of the AI for long‑form storytelling. 4. Workflow Disruption Due to Chat Reset Limitations When the system indicates that a chat is full and requires starting a new one, all prior context is lost. This creates several problems: The entire plot, worldbuilding, and character knowledge must be re‑explained The direction for the chapter must be restated from scratch Previously established tone, style, and narrative goals must be reintroduced Creative flow is interrupted, making it difficult to maintain momentum This significantly increases the time required to produce a chapter and reduces the effectiveness of the tool for ongoing projects. 5. Impact on Productivity and User Experience The cumulative effect of these issues is substantial: More time is spent correcting the AI than writing with it Creative momentum is repeatedly broken The tool becomes unreliable for long‑form fiction The user is often forced to write scenes manually after multiple failed attempts The overall experience becomes frustrating rather than supportive For writers who already provide detailed outlines, worldbuilding, and direction, the expectation is that the AI should support the process—not require constant correction. 6. Recommendation: Need for Robust Consistency & Memory Tools To address these challenges, the following capabilities would be highly valuable: A Consistency Checker that tracks character knowledge, world rules, timelines, and prior events A Chapter Memory or “Read Previous Chapter” function that reliably retains context Stronger adherence to explicit user instructions Improved long‑form continuity across scenes and chapters Better handling of multi‑chapter projects without losing context when chats reset These improvements would dramatically enhance the tool’s usefulness for fiction writers and reduce the need for repeated manual intervention.

Chat with plugins

This is a feature request to allow replies to feedback generated by analysis and edit plugins. When a plugin generates an analysis, I’ve found myself wishing to ask follow-up questions. I find that the chat feature currently leaves much to be desired. I think it would greatly improve the experience with both plugins and the chat feature to be able to apply plugins to the chat. As an example, I made a plugin called the Plot Genie, which analyzes themes across an entire manuscript. It can be prompted to answer pointed questions, but it would be even more useful as a conversation tool.

Credit Refunds

I suggest that you provide some way for users to recover wasted credits due to issues with the app. As you are aware, even when a writer provides clear directions via the story bible and scene descriptions the draft will sometimes go off on its own. I’ve had this happen where adjustments in the creativity level or a change in the AI is necessary. When I’ve done everything correct but the app doesn’t follow directions resulting in the use of additional credits for write attempts, there should be a way to receive at least a partial credit refund. .

Refunds for when the AI screws it up

There should be some kind of refund system for when you generate a scene, and the AI completely goes off on its own and rewrites what you told it in the Draft, completely messing up the scene. I use Muse, and tell it exactly how I want the scene to play out. But when I hit Generate, sometimes it just goes off and does its own thing, almost completely ignoring what I told it to do, completely screwing up the scene as I wanted it. And all of a sudden, I am out 20,000 credits on a scene that completely bungled what I told Muse to write. It is bloody frustrating. Sudowrite should offer some kind of system that lets you get your credits back so you can do-over the scene that Muse completely screwed up.
