A screenplay or a novel is a project you run, not a three-hundred-page file you scroll.

Plot the story in one app. Keep characters and world in a second. Write the text in a third. Ask an AI in a fourth tab. In between: copy-paste, drift, and the feeling that you're maintaining software instead of writing.Plot the story in one app. Keep characters and world in a second. Write the text in a third.

How it works
The Story Wizard works through your story stage by stage instead of dumping a wall of text in response to a single prompt.
01
Pick the form, genre and language. Describe the premise in your own words: a paragraph, a couple of sentences, a raw thought. The wizard comes up with the title.
Pick the form — screenplay or novel — plus genre and language. Describe the premise in your own words: a paragraph, a couple of sentences, a raw thought. The wizard comes up with the title.
02
Plot, characters, structure, key events, world, episodes. At every stage the wizard creates the project's documents and files them into the structure itself. The next stage starts on your command, not by itself.
The wizard develops the story in stages and at every stage it creates the project's documents, filing them into the structure itself: character cards, locations, act synopses, episode outlines.
The result appears as it's written: text streams onto the screen, the app scrolls with it and moves you to the next document automatically. Don't like it? Ask for a revision with your notes, or regenerate the stage from scratch. Versions are kept per stage as a whole, so you can go back to an earlier one at any point.
You decide when to move on: the next stage starts on your command, not by itself.
03
The constraints lift: a document tree you rearrange, and an editor where you write scenes and chapters. Everything the AI produced is a draft you edit like your own.
Once the wizard finishes, the constraints lift. What's in front of you is an ordinary project: a document tree you rearrange by dragging, and an editor where you write scenes and chapters. Everything the AI produced is a draft you edit like your own.

The type determines the content format, editor behaviour and place in the manuscript. Numbers are assigned for you.A document's type determines everything: content format, editor behaviour, whether it belongs to the manuscript, and how it appears in the structure.
Acts are numbered in Roman numerals, episodes zero-padded, scenes in continuous order. Move a scene and the numbering recalculates.
The editor recognises the scene heading, action, character name, dialogue and parenthetical as you type. The markup panel is optional.You work with the finished look of the text rather than with markup: the editor recognises the scene heading, action, character name, dialogue and parenthetical as you type. When auto-detection isn't enough, a compact markup panel appears — and it can be switched off.

The text of the work stays yours — in authorship and in voice.The wizard doesn't hand over a finished novel at the push of a button — and doesn't pretend to. What it removes is the hardest part of starting: it turns a premise into a worked-out structure that makes clear what to write next. Every document it creates is a draft open for editing: rename a character, rewrite an act synopsis, ask for a different take on a stage. The text of the work stays yours — in authorship and in voice.

FAQ
No. The wizard develops the foundation and turns it into project documents. The text of the work you write yourself, in the editor.No, and we don't promise that. The Story Wizard develops the foundation — plot, characters, structure, world — and turns it into project documents. The text of the work you write yourself, in the editor. Everything generated is editable like any other document.
You do. The whole project exports as an archive of files in open formats: .fountain for scenes, .md for everything else. The manuscript also renders to a single file.
No, Writer Assistant runs in the browser. The app adapts to screen width; you need to be online.
Only on AI generation in the Story Wizard: starting a stage, regenerating, asking for another take. The editor, project tree, statistics and export cost nothing. Your balance is checked before an action starts — if credits are short, the app says so and offers a top-up, and a generation already running is never cut off.
No, they have no expiry date.
No. Generation works out of the box: no signing up with a model provider, no API key to issue, no model to pick in settings.
Not at launch. Credits are bought as a pack at a fixed price, as a one-off.
Nothing breaks. Generation runs on the server and isn't tied to the tab: come back and you'll find the finished result, or work still in progress.
Importing existing text isn't in the first release — it's on the roadmap. You can start from an empty project and move text in manually.
Yes. The interface is English or Russian, the language of the work is set when you create the project, and the AI works in it.
We will set out how texts are handled in the privacy policy before launch — and announce it separately.
