Story Engine is a new all-in-one planning tool for novels. It brings your story plan, chapter outline, and draft previews together in a single interactive workspace.

Start from scratch or build on what you already have. Generate characters, synopses, story direction, and a full chapter outline. Lock the parts you like, reimagine the parts you don't, and iterate until the plan feels right.

AI Chat v2 is live!

We've rebuilt the AI Chat from the ground up. It's now smarter, more capable, and integrated even better with your project.

The assistant can now explore your project on its own — reading sheets, browsing your knowledge base, checking your notes, and even searching the web when needed. You'll see exactly what it's doing as it works, with expandable "thinking" sections that show its reasoning process.

The assistant can also access files from your File Library, so you can ask questions about research materials, reference documents, or anything else you've uploaded.

To try it out, open the Assistant panel and start typing in the chat box at the top.

Let us know what you think!

We’ve expanded ShyEditor’s feedback system to cover entire projects. Instead of submitting chapter by chapter, you can now request a single, cohesive analysis of your full manuscript.

The report covers everything from overarching plot structure and pacing to world-building, character development, and writing style - so you can see how your story holds together from start to finish.

Need more control over your exports? The new Advanced Export feature gives you precise control over what gets exported and exactly how it looks.

Choose specific sheets or folders to include, customize formatting options, and fine-tune your output settings. We've also included several presets for common styles that automatically format your work in a single click.

Folders are here, finally!

There's no limit to the number of Sheets you can store in a ShyEditor Project, which is great - but at a certain point it might become difficult to keep them organized.

Today we're launching Folders, a frequently-requested feature that will finally allow you to organize your Sheets according to the system that works for you.

We've completely remade the Knowledge Base from the ground up to make it faster, more consistent, and easier to use. Here's what changed:

- Improved UI with a streamlined layout.
- Deeper AI Assistant integration. Create new entities or expand them directly from the knowledge base. Suggestions use your existing entities as context to make sure new ideas perfectly fit your project.
- Mention tracking. See where entities are referenced across your project, then jump to those mentions to resolve inconsistencies or expand scenes.
- New entity types, including Project Details to capture high-level information about your project, such as synopsis, genre, themes, etc.
