Overview
Sudowrite is a purpose-built AI writing partner designed primarily for fiction writers. It offers an integrated workspace (Story Bible, Canvas, and document organization) and a suite of creative tools—Brainstorm, Describe, Write (story-aware next-text generation), Expand, Rewrite, Feedback, and Visualize—that help users move from idea to draft to revision. Sudowrite integrates a large library of Plugins (1,000+ no-code tools) to automate workflows and extend functionality, and it runs multiple LLMs with proprietary post-processing. The product emphasizes writer ownership and privacy (states it doesn’t use user content to train models), a strong UX with themes and focus modes, and cross-device access via web and mobile apps. Pricing is subscription + usage-based (credits); the company targets hobbyists through professional working authors.
