NovelWriter is a web-based novel writing app with AI-powered analysis tools built directly into the writing experience.

It combines a full writing environment (chapters, scenes, characters, plot planning) with intelligent systems that read your manuscript and help you understand your story as you write it.

What It Can Do

As you write, NovelWriter can automatically:

• Plan and refine your story using the Novel Agent panel (4 modes)
• Build a visual Event Line of your story
• Detect open plot lines and possible plot holes
• Create a Connection Web between characters, places, and plot points
• Graph pacing, tension, atmosphere, and depth (Story Pulse)
• Gives you detailed Agent analysis of parts of your manuscript.
• Use Novel Agent tools to refine specific scenes through inline suggestions.
• Generate summaries and world information
• Simulate reader reactions in the Echo Chamber (optional)
• Show live mood and remarks while you type (optional)

All of this works directly from your manuscript.
