The scene you've rewritten three times. The character who's lost their way. The ending that still doesn't feel earned. Bring it to Muse, and talk it through with a writing companion you can turn to whenever you're at the page.

You move a paragraph. Change the dialogue. Read it again. You know what the scene is supposed to do, but you can't quite see why it isn't getting there.
This is where another perspective helps. A question about what your protagonist actually wants. A note about the moment the tension drops. A conversation that gives you something to work with.
Muse puts that conversation beside your manuscript. Ask for a reader's reaction, work through a revision, then ask the next question while the scene is still fresh in your mind.
In the chapter shown above, Muse looks at how a character's reaction carries the emotional weight of the ending:
“The emotional core of the ending is right — this should be the peak of the chapter, and her reaction should signal that something between them is now serious and real. It just needs to arrive through her character rather than around it.”

Now there's something to work on. How would she show it? What would she hold back? You take the thought back to the page.
Watch Muse in action · 10 minutesYour characters, places, factions and lore become a linked encyclopedia, automatically generated from your manuscript and supporting material. As you write, Muse builds and updates it in the background. You don't have to assemble it entry by entry.
You've already put the world into your story. Muse draws those details together so you can look them up without building a separate encyclopedia by hand. Review an entry, correct a detail, then get back to the book.
Ask Muse to investigate a possible contradiction. Follow its findings back to the source passages and see what was checked, so you can decide whether the story needs a change.
The characters, the choices, the sentences you keep coming back to. You care about the work. You want help seeing it more clearly.
Muse will ask questions, offer possibilities and give you things to reconsider. It can help draft or rewrite a passage when you ask. You can also leave every word to yourself and use it entirely for feedback.
If you're looking for a machine to produce novels while you step away, Muse isn't built for that. This is a place to work on the book you want to write.
Bring your draft from Word, Markdown or Scrivener. Open a chapter and ask for help with the part that's bothering you. You don't need a finished manuscript to begin.
