When working up ideas in the Story Bible it would be very helpful and time saving to be able to identify (highlight) an item and change its name across the whole project so that the story bible does not finish up with conflicting names for a single item or character?

It would be nice if you had a “go to end of prose” shortcut or button for when you open a project.

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.

When I am in the middle of a chapter I sometimes have the reference and early chapter. When I click out and back it takes me to the start of the chapter, rather where I exited from. It’s then very frustrating to have to scroll through the chapters to find where I was. Can it navigate back automatically.

One of the most annoying things about SudoWriter is that “New Documents” are placed waaaaaaay down at the bottom of the TOC rather than just under the current highlighted title. This is particularly irritating if the ‘New document’ belongs somewhere toward the top of the list. Drag-and-Drop can be messy when there are many titles.

One of the elements that I love about Scrivener that I wish Sudowrite could incorporate is the ability to have split screens open so I can write/edit things in one document, while simultaneously looking at a second document next to it so I can refer to it while writing my stuff in the first document. I hate having to scroll back and forth across Scrivener whenever I need to refer to something in a worldbuilding card/character card when doing brainstorming in an unrelated document, working on the outline, writing my chapter, etc. If I could have side by side split screens so I could avoid doing this, it would make things so much easier for me!

It would be nice if there was an option to change what the side panels showed. Like to be able to scroll through the story bible next to the chapter you are working in for reference instead of opening it in a new window or scrolling back and forth.

It’s hard to believe that a story processor that is as good as SudoWrite does not have even a rudimentary spell checker! WTF? I have the Language Tool spell/grammar checker (free version) extension for my browser (Firefox) which works just fine for _everything_except_ the SudoWrite main editor for some strange reason. (It’s even working here in this reply box.) Why not in the SW editor? That could be a quick fix !!

Sudowrite misses/leaves out characters when generating scenes and prose. Wasting credits. Maybe add a way for it to specify which characters you want in a chapter?

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

One feature that would significantly improve the experience would be an audio function that allows users to listen to their text. Being able to hear a story read aloud would make it easier to catch inconsistencies, improve flow, and reduce the need to reread the same text multiple times.

Showed it my outline. Asked it if I needed to do anything special to have the prose writer pick out the scenes in my outline. It said, 'No, my outline looked great, and the prose writer would easily tell my scenes apart from the bold caps header.’ Prose writer ignores my outline, starts writing scenes entrirely after events in the chapter and costs me 5600 credits. When asked why this happened bot says scenes must be designated in the outline in a very specific way. ;(

The initial import report is incredibly useful—especially when bringing in a more developed project (for example, a 60,000-word manuscript). It provides editor-level, big-picture feedback that’s both clear and actionable. The challenge is that once you begin revising within Sudowrite, there’s no way to regenerate that same level of analysis without re-importing the manuscript. A “refresh” option for the import report would make a big difference. Since the report highlights issues like POV slips, slow chapters, and repetitive phrasing, being able to update that feedback as the draft evolves would turn it into a much more powerful tool.

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. .

I'm writing an epistolary novel, which is a series of dated journal entries, etc. I will have well over 100 ‘chapters’, each one a dated journal entry. Managing the left, ‘Table of Contents’ (TOC) frame becomes challenging with this many titles. Each one of my chapter titles is prefixed with a date/time stamp in this format: yy.ddmm-HHMM plus some words. (E.g. ‘26.0504-0947 I Lose My Hat’, which refers to May 4, 2019 at 9:47am) This format lends itself to sorting very nicely. ‘Chapter #’ designations are useless. My story is based on journal entry dates. The TOC becomes my timeline management tool. By adding or changing A title datestamp, I can easily move journal entries to chronological positions. If I SudoWriter could (optionally) sort the TOC titles, any datestamped title name changes would be automatically moved to the proper, new position in the TOC. With hundreds of titles this would be immensely helpful. One of the most annoying things about SudoWriter is that “New Documents” are placed waaaaaaay down at the bottom of the TOC rather than just under the current highlighted title.

This system is very cumbersome compared to other AI options. I had the whole idea of my book already built out, plugged it into the chat, and the chat built the outline chapter by chapter, but none of that transfers into the project chapter list. Seems like I am working with two different people who don’t talk to each other. It also wastes credits trying to figure out how to do what I already have ready to go

This is primarily for Claude, which I use most. This is something that’s been pretty constant since I’ve started using Sudowrite, from Beats to Scenes. I know it’s partially related to now creative the LLM is, but wondering if anything can be done on Sudowrite’s end. I call it “scope creep" when the LLM continues to elaborate beyond the scope of what you specify in a scene. Sometimes this is helpful for creative inspiration, other times it’s unfortunately a starting point for the LLM to veer off on a wasting-tokens fest that gets the story nowhere. I know it’s customary to break scenes on a location switch and when one doesn’t abide by this, the LLM may “jump ahead” and start writing bits of Scene B in Scene A. But realistically in fiction, you can have more than one scene in one location. Yes, you can have a double-long scene, but I have noticed that the more you cram in one scene, the less prose gets generated by the LLM. It condenses, omits, details, etc. This, by the way, is why I don’t often let the LLM summarize or rewrite scenes —- they get decimated, the details lost. It would be great to have a feature that enforced “scene separation” that you could toggle on or off.

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.

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
