Muse features

A place to write.
A companion to think with.

Muse brings your manuscript, story plans and worldbuilding into one writing workspace, with AI tools you can talk to as you work. Get a reading reaction, discuss a revision, untangle your plot or check a detail against your draft.

Reader & Editor
See what reached the page.

Reader

Reader is an AI reading partner. Share a chapter or paste a passage and ask how it lands: what holds attention, what raises questions, where the emotion feels distant.

You know the twist. Reader doesn't look ahead at your plot plans. It stays with the prose you share, so you can explore the reading experience before deciding what to rewrite.

Editor

Editor is your AI partner for revising the draft. Ask why a scene feels slow, whether a character's choice makes sense, or what an ending needs to earn. Discuss the feedback and work through possible changes.

Editor can bring relevant material from your project into the discussion. Take the notes that help and work them into your own revision.

Continuity Checker
Follow the detail that doesn't add up.

The Continuity Checker investigates inconsistencies in your manuscript. Ask about a character detail, a timeline or a rule of your world, or request a check of a wider section. It searches your project for possible contradictions and for passages that might explain them.

Review findings with references to source passages and visibility into what was checked. An investigation helps you assess inconsistencies; it does not certify that the book or series is error-free.

Plot & character tools
Give the next chapter somewhere to go.

Plot Builder

Plot Builder guides you through your story in conversation, helping you develop turning points and capture them in a twelve-beat outline. Bring the pieces you know and work through the connections you haven't found yet. See Plot Builder.

Character Arc Builder

The Character Arc Builder asks about your character's fears, beliefs, wants and needs, then records their arc in an editable profile. Work through who they are and how they change, with something concrete to return to as you write.

Brainstorming Partner

Explore alternative plot directions, motivations or ways into a scene with an AI thinking partner. Bring a problem, weigh the possibilities together, and choose what fits your story.

Character Chat

Have a conversation with an AI playing one of your characters, using their profile and position in the story as context. Listen for their voice or explore how they might react before you write the scene.

Prefer to plan first? Architect mode supports building the outline before you draft. Prefer to discover the story as you go? Gardener mode keeps guidance available when you ask for it. These are writing preferences you can change for each book.

World Bible
The encyclopedia that builds itself.

The World Bible is an automatically generated encyclopedia of your story world. Muse draws characters, places, factions and lore from your manuscript and supporting material, builds linked entries, and updates them in the background as you write. You don't have to build the reference by hand.

Worlds, series and books

Organise books within worlds and series, with supporting characters and documents at the appropriate level. The World Bible can collect entries with sections for individual books in a shared world.

Review and correct your entries

Open an entry to check its details, make corrections and protect verified sections. Muse's editorial tools can look up relevant project material; continuity checks return to the source passages. Each tool works with the context it needs, rather than reading every book in every conversation.

Background compilation is subject to daily and monthly processing limits. Large imports may take longer or exhaust that month's processing allowance. See plan limits.

The writing workspace
Your draft and its world, together.

Import and export

Import Word (.docx), Markdown or a zipped Scrivener project. Scrivener imports can also bring characters and research documents. Export a manuscript as Word, or individual chapters as Word or Markdown.

Manuscript editor

Draft in a rich text editor with auto-save and word counts. Arrange chapters within acts, keep outlines and worldbuilding documents, and track writing days.

Research

Research is an AI assistant with web search. Ask about historical, scientific or technical details without leaving your writing workspace, then follow the sources when a detail matters to your fiction.

Muse claims no ownership of your writing. AI requests send relevant material to external providers. Privacy · Terms

Optional AI writing tools
Try another version when you want one.

Ask for help with a passage when you want it. Write every word yourself when you don't. Feedback, planning and continuity tools are there either way.

Writer

Ask this AI writing assistant to draft or revise a passage in your document. Describe what you want to change, review the result and decide what belongs in your manuscript.

Inline continuation

Request a continuation from the cursor while you're writing. Muse offers prose directly in the editor for you to accept or discard.

Voice Profile

Give Muse examples of your prose and refine its understanding of your style through sample comparisons. The profile guides generated writing towards your preferences for rhythm, dialogue and imagery. Voice calibration is in early access.

Craft Brief

Tell Muse what you're trying to achieve with the book: the influences, tone and storytelling qualities that matter to you. It helps you shape an editable brief to guide writing and editorial conversations.

Planned features — not included in the current experience

The roadmap includes version history, focus mode, read aloud, world-map understanding, geographic continuity tools and deeper series support. These are future plans, not a promise of availability during your trial.
