Let The User Decide What The AI Looks At—Everywhere
Feature Request A user shouldn’t have to wonder what the AI is looking at, and we should have settings to tell it exactly what to refer to. Everywhere. Other AI programs already utilize this. This feature would nullify it looking at incorrect things, spoilers, or not looking at needed information. And it shouldn’t be decided by someone else what they think the AI should reference for an author’s work. Style has been left out of referencing for entirely too much when it’s arguably THE most important thing and should impact how everything gets written. As it is, extra work is created because the user has to rewrite every single box or risk all of those cliches and AI-wording being brought in, which it will be if not corrected. Another issue this solves is conflicting information when we are told the AI does or doesn’t look at something. More than once, a statement has been casually made about a particular element being looked at to generate something, however, we were never told that or even told the opposite prior. As a teacher, this makes it worse because now I’m passing along faulty information. If the user is deciding, there’s no wondering for anyone. Put it in the hands of the users. A gear icon on each Story Bible box can open up a menu for users to toggle on or off. Want Outline to influence Characters so an arc can be created? Toggle the Characters option on. Want it simple? If a box toggle is on, it influences what you’re generating; if it’s off, the AI doesn’t see it. As a plus, this also lets the AI read backwards and forwards, resulting in the user being able to best utilize each box for their own workflow. And bonus, there could be a toggle by each document to have it read or not, which is helpful for say a large world-building document or glossary. It’s also simpler and quicker than the three dots menu for continuity. Example use: Instead of the user needing to create templates and fill out traits, information could be contained in the document, thus allowing yet more flexibility in the user’s workflow. The icing on the cake would be that if the other tools were hooked up to Story Bible—and for those that currently are—the user would be able to decide what gets looked at. Want Rewrite to see your entire outline so it can foreshadow or callback properly when it rewrites the current scene? Done. Want Quick Edit or Quick Chat to look at certain documents or Story Bible elements? Toggle it on. The bottom line is this puts the user in control, and they can decide how much or how little to give the AI while also making it very flexible and upfront about what is being looked at.

Basic feature we badly need.
We desperately need a feature that lets us forbid certain words. I have tried everything I can think of but half the time I click the generate button a specific character is given a tail that swishes around to show emotion despite multiple attempts to make it stop. The AI also seems to occasionally get stuck on certain words like “strategic” and attempts to put them in every other sentence for no reason.

I’d like to be able to export all documents linked by Chapter Continuity (and only those documents) to a single Word doc, with the docs appearing in the order specified by the Chapter Continuity feature.

Adding Visualize option to character description.
While it is nice to be able to have pictures generated in the main story, it would help me if I could have the pictures in the Story Bible as well. You can’t even select text in there to generate anything and that is where I put my most detailed descriptions long before they make it into the story itself.

Sudowrite Live Editor
My previous suggestion was somehow removed from the system so I’m making it again since it was pretty popular. I would like a live editor incorporated into Sudowrite. This would act similar to Grammarly and PWA at its most basic, but without bugging out like those extensions tend to do inside Sudowrite. The basic version could help with grammar, punctuation, and simple rephrasing. Perhaps even formatting on a simple level? Example: “This is a great opening hook for the next chapter.” or “This makes an excellent stopping point for this scene/chapter to keep the reader turning the page.” In-between basic and advanced would be all of those things Quick Chat can currently do; helping with hook suggestions, refining plot points, revising, etc. The advanced version would be a full-on editor that makes notes and comments on things as you work inside Sudowrite. Examples: When you draft a chapter, it could say something like, "This action doesn't align with your character's personality or motivation." Or... "Hey, you were suppose to have this happen in this chapter, but you left your reader hanging with no real action." When you work on characters, it could help with archetypes and character arcs. It can look at the genre and mention any necessary story elements you are still lacking. It can look at the climax of your story and remark if there is enough happening or if it feels anti-climactic. It can see if the events of your story leading up to the climax flow properly, and see if the events after the climax tie up everything. It would be able to spot any plot holes or characters that got left behind and forgotten about. Did you develop this character properly with backstory and other things to make them feel real, thought out, and a contributing part of the story? When you write a scene, it would make sure everything is aligned with the genre expectations, your style and instructions, and also ensure that all plot points were hit and not just glanced over with the shallow tendencies of AI-written prose. Writing a series? It could look at all of your book outlines and make sure things such as relationship arcs, mysteries, and plot threads are thorough and completed. New writers could benefit from this feature knowing all of the necessary story elements—which AI does—and walking them through the steps needed to write their chosen genre. Example: “Let’s figure out the main mystery.” “Ah, you’re writing romance. Let’s create your love interests and establish their flaws, beliefs, and how they meet.” Lastly, this version needs to be critical in its assessment; no fluffy, feel-good, kiss up comments that don’t add value and don’t point out flaws unless you bring them up. “You’re writing a psychological thriller, but this reads like a middle-school detective novel. Let’s discuss the protagonist’s fears and the antagonist’s motivations and goals.” “Are you really going to go with the cell phone battery dying to up the tension here? Let’s come up with something more creative.” “This is a MC romance novel. Do you know what those readers want? Because this isn’t it, babe.” Essentially, this would (ideally) be a “live” editor, watching you create your story and helping you make each step the best it can be. If it finds something lacking, it can point out the flaws and offer suggestions. It would perform a comprehensive developmental edit AS you write the story. Bonus: This would save writers money with real editors and time because I currently run a developmental edit prompt AFTER I write and before I send to my editor. Extra props for us being able to customize how it talks to us; for those who NEED the friendly, “you’re doing great!” comments and those that want the, “Are you even trying?” version.

Story Timeline
I appreciate the continuity changes you’ve made, but when pulling from the synopsis or outline or characters it doesn’t always work. One of my characters for example dies. The characters are making reference to this character dying, and honoring them before it’s actually happened in the story. It would be great to have a continuity timeline in the story bible, or a calendar where you can select what it going on with each character. This could go alongside the outline, or you could place the outline in the timeline to help with your current continuity method.

I’m new to SudoWrite so this may exist, and I may not know how to enable it. The editor should refer to the bible and spell check the document based upon what exists there. Highlighting all words that are not standard English, and also not defined in the bible. I know I can add them to the local dictionary in the browser, but then the words are available across all books I am working on, and that’s not what I need.

Optional Longer Readback for Continuity (with warning for high credit usage?)
I was wondering if there is any possibility of getting the draft feature to have an option to uncap the 20k word readback for continuity, and instead read as far back as it can with a warning or something to alert that it will have very high credit cost? I’m just really interested in seeing how the AI could handle reading back my entire book as a I try to write it, as my individual chapters are sometimes 15k words long and using a TON of credits at once isn’t a concern for me. (I don’t know much about the AI though, so I didn’t know if the 20k limit was a hard limit or not on the tech side, so I figured I’d ask.)

Chat interface for writing
I use Guided Write a lot. AutoComplete is too likely to go in a different direction than I had in mind. However, the current card-based workflow is inconvenient and breaks the creative flow, because the text appears in a separate place so you cannot immediately see how it fits into the preceding text. What I would like to have is a separate chat input field below the prose window, where I can enter what happens (i.e. the input to Guided Write). Then the text would appear at the cursor location in the prose window in a slightly different color, just like text inserted from a card currently does, and not yet editable. In the chat input field there would also be forward and backward icons and the version currently being viewed (“< 1/2 >”), which allows you to create a new version for the current generated text and to switch between generated versions, and a length selector similar to current Guided Write. Finally the chat input field would have an Accept button that accepts the generated text, which adds it to the prose (changing color to the normal color of prose, and making it editable). Below is a quick mock-up to illustrate the concept:

Obsidian Plug-in
Hi Sudowrite team! I’d love to suggest a feature that could make Sudowrite vastly more usable for longform writers working in Obsidian, where our notes and drafts are already structured, canonical, and local-first. 💡 Problem Sudowrite is amazing for generative narrative tooling—but using it alongside Obsidian means constant copy/paste friction. Writers like me keep Obsidian as our canonical source of truth, and switching back and forth makes adoption clunky and error-prone. I don’t mind Sudowrite having access to my content—I just want to keep writing where I live. 🔧 Solution: Lightweight Obsidian Plugin Build a minimal plugin that adds Sudowrite integration via: ✅ Context-aware Ingestion via Frontmatter Let users opt-in by tagging files like this: --- sudowrite: world label: "Tatooine Moisture Farms" tags: [world, farming] --- --- sudowrite: story scene: 4.2 character_focus: ["Luke Skywalker", "Ben Kenobi"] priority: high --- This could be paired with keyboard shortcuts or an Obsidian ribbon UI to send selected text or entire files to Sudowrite on demand. ✨ Optional Bonus Features File-level “sync” toggle (manual push/pull to avoid unexpected overwrites) Highlight text and run inline actions (rewrite, tone shift, etc.) Markdown-friendly output returned directly into the vault 🔒 Privacy + Alignment This design keeps authors in control: No background scraping or vault-wide scanning. No disruption to Obsidian’s local-first architecture. Explicit authorial intent via frontmatter = clean integration point. 🎯 Why It Matters There’s a growing base of longform writers who: Draft and manage stories entirely in Obsidian Want to use AI tools without abandoning their infrastructure Are not worried about data access, but do care deeply about document sovereignty This plugin would be a huge quality-of-life improvement, and a low-friction way to expand Sudowrite’s reach into serious, structured creative workflows. Happy to help test or prototype. Thanks for the amazing tool, and for listening!

Add an option for serialized outline structures.
In Outline, we currently have the options of: Novel Outline The Hero's Journey Hollywood Beats Story Circle Romance Outline Custom Outline I propose that we add an option for Serialized Outline. It would be designed for superhero comic books, children’s book series, short story anthologies, and anything where each chapter partially stands alone but is still connected to the whole by common theme, common timeline, common setting or other through-all. Such outlines would not have a typical ending as they would be left open ended for the possibility of adding even more chapters but the outline generator should still suggest at least thirty chapters for the outline. For example: chapter 1: origin, chapter 2: Eric’s recovery, chapter 3: the rise of John, chapter 4: the discovery, chapter 5: the rookie, chapter 6: Eric and Jason reconcile, chapter 7: the rise of Rebecah, chapter 8: internal conflict, chapter 9: Bobby’s dilemma, chapter 10: Julie’s performance, chapter 11: the diplomat arrives, chapter 12: Marcie’s tragedy, chapter 13: Jason nearly dies, chapter 14: Juan is chosen, chapter 15: Joshua makes amends, chapter 16: the program, chapter 17: practicing his aim, chapter 18: sibling rivalry, chapter 19: the doctor’s journey, chapter 20: history lessons, chapter 21: the crossover, chapter 22: prison, chapter 23: Roy is found, chapter 24: Eric confronts Duster, chapter 25: Robert is away, chapter 26: Robert reappears, chapter 27: the mutiny, chapter 28: the gang, chapter 29: the stars, chapter 30: Z . . . (Although based on my own superhero story, I will be doing major rearranging, overhauling and revision before this is finalized.) As you can see, the point is not to have an overarching structure but to make each chapter interesting in it’s own right. Examples of stories this would be good for : Spiderman, Anne of Green Gables, The Joy Luck Club, Little House on the Prairie, Star Trek, Babylon 5 . . .

I would love to be able to generate a synopsis using input from the characters and worldbuilding sections. I most often start with the characters and the worldbuilding and then write the plot. So after I have entered all of the data for my character and worldbuilding data, I move on to the synopsis. But when I generate the synopsis, it invents a bunch of material that has nothing to do with the intended setting and actors. In order to ensure the synopsis has the right information, I basically have to copy/paste all of my character and worldbuilding information into the braindump and then reformat it. It would be really nice if this could just automatically connect or be toggled somehow.
