Improvement
Fix
Some fresh improvements to report: a nice price drop on a couple of our OpenAI models, and another round of Chat improvements based on your feedback.
OpenAI recently lowered its prices on some of its models, and we're passing the savings on to you. GPT‑5.6 Luna now uses 70% fewer credits on Sudowrite, while GPT‑5.6 Terra uses 10% fewer. We tweaked GPT‑5.5 while we were at it, and it now uses about 12% fewer credits. You don’t have to change anything to benefit from this—if you write with any of these AI models in Write, Draft, or Plugins, your credits will just go further now.
We remain hard at work, making Chat behave the way you expect:
See Chat's thought process in Chat Only — The “working” box now shows up in Chat Only mode, just like in Allow Edits.
Narrow questions stay narrow — Asking about one specific thing no longer kicks off a full Feedback sweep across every review type, so you won't burn credits you didn't mean to spend.
Resend actually resends — If a response stalled, hitting Resend could sometimes throw an error instead of retrying. It now consistently retries.
More accurate document edits — We made it so when Chat inserts changes into your manuscript, it places them more precisely.
Fewer false "stuck in a loop" messages — Chat would occasionally claim it was stuck in a loop even after finishing the task. We've cut those way down.
Story Bible shortcuts in your current chat — Hitting a generate button in Story Bible no longer creates a brand-new chat thread. We made it so the prompt box now pops into your current chat.
Generate Scenes costs less on long projects — We’ve optimized the Generate Scenes feature. It now pulls less redundant context, which reduces the cost of scene generation on longer projects.
Clearer Draft limit warning — We reworded the Draft input‑limit warning—occasionally triggered in super large projects—so it's less alarming and easier to address.
Resizable comment column — We changed the comment column so that it’s fully resizable. Just drag it to your preferred width and it’ll stay that way.
Keep the feedback coming folks! 🫡
