Feature: Intelligent Chat Assistant with Full Manuscript Awareness

I'm a big fan of Sudowrite and currently use it to write children’s and middle grade books, with plans to move into YA and adult fiction soon. I particularly enjoy using the Story Bible tools such as Braindump and Synopsis — they suit my creative process really well.

 

However, I’d love to request a feature that would make Sudowrite even more powerful and helpful for authors working on full-length stories across a range of age groups:

 

Feature: Intelligent Chat Assistant with Full Manuscript Awareness

It would be brilliant to have a tool that:

  • Can read and understand the entire manuscript (not just one chapter at a time)

  • Allows open-ended questions like:

    • “Are there any plot holes?”

    • “Is the pacing appropriate for middle-grade readers?”

    • “Are the characters’ motivations consistent?”

    • “Which scenes drag or feel unnecessary?”

    • “Is the ending satisfying for the intended audience?”

  • Provides story-wide insight, not just paragraph-level tweaks

  • Works well without needing to use the Canvas, as I prefer a simpler, more linear workflow using the Story Bible

 

Why This Matters:

  • At the moment, I often copy and paste sections into ChatGPT to get this kind of detailed feedback, which takes time and breaks my creative flow.

  • I'd much prefer to keep everything inside Sudowrite, especially as the Story Bible already understands my tone and characters.

  • A feature like this would be incredibly helpful not only for children’s books, but also for the more layered stories I’ll be writing in YA and adult fiction.

 

Ideal Features:

  • Full access to the manuscript and its context

  • Integration with the Story Bible (characters, themes, tone)

  • A flexible chat interface for asking questions about plot, pacing, arcs, and age suitability

  • Usable without Canvas, for writers who prefer to work in a more straightforward, document-focused way

 

Thanks so much for everything you’ve built so far — Sudowrite has already transformed my writing experience, and this kind of feature would make it even more powerful for writers like me.

 

Warm regards,
[A grateful writer working across multiple age groups]
