Overview
Why multi-agent matters
Before any prose is generated, your agents meet in a pre-draft scratchpad. The Scene Director sets the scene's goal. The Pacing Strategist scores its tension. The Psychologist checks that every character's motivation holds. The Continuity Keeper validates it against your canon. Only then does the Prose Stylist write — with every agent's notes in hand. That's why Neural Novelist prose reads as deliberate, not auto-generated.
The 15 agents
Structura (Architect) — pacing curves, plot holes, act breaks, tension sequencing
CharacterPsychologist — wound / lie / need frameworks and Big Five (OCEAN) models
Jasper (Critique Gate) — auto-rejects weak prose before it reaches your manuscript
ReaderSimulator — flags exactly where a real reader would put the book down
Nexus (Continuity Keeper) — tracks every eye color, timeline, and Chekhov's gun across 100+ chapters
Subtext (Theme Weaver) — motifs and symbolic resonance
Velocity (Pacing Strategist) — Sprint / Jog / Walk / Rest scene-density scoring
DialogueDoctor — subtext, power dynamics, distinct character voices
ProseStylist — extracts your Style DNA and writes in your voice
SceneDirector — character goals, emotional arcs, dialogue cues
Demiurge (World Builder) — rule-bound settings with real plot consequences
ShowDontTellCop — converts telling into scene-based showing
AntiPurpleCop — catches melodrama and cliché
VoiceConsistencyChecker — holds your voice steady across chapters
TensionArchitect — builds and releases narrative tension
A guided workflow, not a blank page
Move through four clear phases — Ideation → Outlining → Drafting → Revision. Start at the Foundation: title, theme, premise, one of 25 genres, your drafting mode (full-chapter or beat-by-beat), and a creativity dial. Then pick your engine — Gemini 3.1 Pro for highest-quality prose, 3.5 Flash for fast and creative, lean budget tiers for high volume, or your own fine-tuned model.
Story Bible — your novel's single source of truth
Characters — generate a cast from your premise, deepen each with motivation / fear / wound psychology and OCEAN personality models, then lock in narrative arcs and a per-character Voice DNA card (lexical + syntactic fingerprints).
World — summon the World Architect to build rule-bound settings: the Cost, the Scarcity, the Hazard, plus society, tech/magic, and geography — every rule carrying plot consequences.
Outline — choose a framework (Mythic Quest, Cinematic Beats, or Three-Act) and get a beat-by-beat outline built on BUT/THEREFORE causal logic, visualized as a live tension curve.
Codex — a searchable database of characters, locations, items, and lore.
Knowledge graph with dynamic entity tracking across the whole manuscript.
Reverse Engineering Lab
Paste any excerpt and run a 3-phase teardown: Scene Autopsy → Universal Story Code extraction → a reusable DNA blueprint you can reincarnate as a fresh outline. Import a DNA file or a full archive, and run Deep Voice Analysis to extract POV, tense, and prose technique — then apply that voice to your own drafting.
Discovery Mode (built for pantsers)
Write freely with no outline, then reverse-engineer your own structure in one click — auto-extracting characters, world-building, and chapter outlines with confidence scoring.
Neural Link Graph
An interactive 3D force-directed graph mapping every character, location, faction, and plot beat in your story.
8-Agent Revision Suite
Batch-revise an entire manuscript across structure, line, show-don't-tell, dialogue, continuity, tension, theme, and voice — with a diff viewer and reconciliation panel, so you stay in control of every change.
Authorship transparency
A git-style chain-of-custody view shows human vs. AI contribution per chapter, with a built-in KDP disclosure export.
80+ writing tools
Curated prompt templates across 11 categories — expansion, pacing, show-don't-tell, dialogue, specificity, emotion, character depth, setting, tension, polish, and voice.
