How can we make Sudowrite better?

Please tell us how we improve Sudowrite for you.

Agentic Chat Shortcomings

With the new agentic implementation, it is now much harder to use Chat to, well, actually chat. I do not really need the agent to edit for me (only when using the Generate or Rewrite functions), and the most frequent use cases for me are general brainstorming and working on specific lines. So, the new chat has a not so funny gimmick when it would write a completely fine and legit response, then scrap it completely and write something like ‘I need to view the manuscript’ or ‘Please switch to Allow edits so I can edit [smth] for you,’ which is just infuriating since I already saw the answer and wanted to do with it what I need. It would be very nice to implement either a switch to toggle back to classic Chat or a classifier model that would decide if the user’s instruct requires agent’s work.

Worldbuilding Groupings - Collapse, Filter and Tags

Worldbuilding is a great feature, but it quickly becomes unwieldy. I have a couple of ideas that would greatly improve it’s usability. Give the option to Group by the Role/Category. Each group would be collapsible, making it easier to see other types. My series involves a lot of travel, so there are many entries for Cities. I would quickly be able to collapse or expand all Cities. Allowing search or filter within this group would also be huge! Add a new Tags field. Let user use other bible entries as tags. Also allow custom tags to tie entries together. Allow filter Show and Hide options by tags. Now I can quickly see all locations, characters, events, etc. that are connected to a certain city, book, subplot, etc. Example: Tag “Willie’s Tools”. His toolbelt has 15 tools. I could on this tag and quickly see or hide all of his tools as needed.

Overall Making the Interface More Visual

Writers are visual thinkers, and it would be SO helpful to make the app more visual as a whole. Examples of this include: — The ability to photos (ie., book covers) as an image for each title and project folder — Change the outline chapter feature to have a “notecard” view, where chapters can be viewed as individual notecards and moved around more easily without scrolling — In the character section, allow each character to have an uploaded image next to their name so we can visualize what they look like — In the worldbuilding section, allow for images of locations, buildings, lore, etc. Thank you! Appreciate the team.

Image attachments

I'd love it if we could attach images directly to World Building entries. Like, when I'm building a character, location, faction, or magic system, it would be super helpful to just drop in reference images (concept art, photos, mood boards, etc.) right there in the entry. It makes it way easier to keep the visual concept in mind while writing, and the AI could potentially reference those images too when generating descriptions or scenes. Even just basic image upload + display in the world bible would be huge for me. Doesn't need to be fancy at first. Thanks! This would genuinely level up the world-building experience.

Panel Resize Handle (size increase)

I'd like to request the ability to resize the slider shown in the attached screenshot. I use a 34-inch ultrawide monitor at a resolution of 3440 × 1440, and the current slider is extremely small at that scale. It often takes several seconds just to position my cursor precisely over the handle before I can drag it. An option to increase the slider's size—or simply enlarge its draggable handle—would be a significant usability improvement for anyone using high-resolution or ultrawide displays.

Text to Speach

I know this has been requested before but I think its worth reiterating. For authors its a very valuable too to hear their prose read back to them. We catch not only line edit errors but things that are not quite quantifiable in a document editor. I’v tried browser plugins and most are crap. either my api key dosent work or it cannot handshake with the service provider. So far my best option is Eleven Labs Reader app for my phone. It has the best most natural sounding narration I’ve found so far. But it is a bit of a hassle to go through the steps to copy, paste into a word doc and then load it into the reader app. The Ideal thing would be just to highlight text in sudowrite and have a little icon in the pop-up show a headphone icon. One can set up the voice in the settings. I’m sure you could work a deal with Elevenlabs to integrate their technology into sudowrite. Yes I know it would cost something but I think it would be worth it.

Character Enhancement

In the Character section, I want to add the same set of trait labels to each character, however I have to add each trait label to each character one at a time. What’s more, if I do it too quickly, the labels don’t get saved. You should crate a feature that allows you to add a set of blank traits with specific trait labels to multiple or all characters at the same time.

Brainstorming feature doesn't save your work but pushes for long ideation

The standalone Brainstorm tool encourages long ideation sessions with repeated 'Generate More' prompts, but it doesn't clearly indicate that the results are ephemeral (temporary). A history panel or automatic session saving would prevent users from losing hours of creative work. I spent 4 hours obtaining excellent historical data, conversations, etc not knowing that each time I pressed another idea my information was lost forever.

Chapter outline to chapter scenes

When turning an outline into a chapter scenes you can set it to make X amount of scenes or you can just let it make how many the Ai wants like it does now. It would help because for example if I need 7 scenes for a chapter but the Ai keeps only making 4, it can be a way to make sure it spits it up into 7 scenes just like I need them to be.

💡 Feature Request

My apologies if this already exists, but I have no been able to find it. I need a tag system (explained below) that can live within the narrative/story but the AI engine (i.e. write/rewrite/muse) will ignore when generating prose. For instance, I write historical fiction, and sometimes, I need to go back and make sweeping edits to the prose to fix references to historical events, settings, etc. To do that, I typically will go to that chapter and put a XX all by itself at the beginning, post notes to me for what revisions need to happen, and a xx a by itself at the end of my comments. Exactly how code does with its comments (i.e. /* type in here what you want engine to ignore */ in TSQL - Yes, I was a DB developer in my previous life).

What is Up with Muse Being So Preachy?

I have noticed that there’s some weird undercurrent where every now and then Muse gets judgy about what is being written. I wrote a scene involving sex work, and the chat agent got real fixated on whether or not HR would approve of what was depicted or whether the W-2 forms would be correct or whether the scene was just using language of employment but was not depicting actual employment. I’ve had a similar problem where the agents—Muse is my almost exclusive choice in any place that I can choose it, so if these other agents are NOT Muse that’s a significant thing—got real judgy about my queer characters, their queer relations, family relations, kinks, and a lot more. Got lectured about “this wouldn’t be optioned for Hallmark or streaming services” and basically told that my scenario was not vanilla enough. I really should have done the write up on that session of writing because it made me real mad, and I had to walk away from Sudowrite for a few days to cool down.
