ShyEditor

ShyEditor positions itself not as a chatbot bolted onto a text editor but as a purpose-built environment for writing whole books. A Story Engine takes a premise and produces a synopsis plus a chapter-by-chapter outline, while a knowledge base automatically captures characters, locations, and events (or builds itself from an imported draft) so details stay consistent as the manuscript grows. The editor itself is deliberately plain: press Tab and the AI suggests the next sentence in your established voice, and the grammar checker is configured to tolerate invented names.

For revision, ShyEditor can critique a single chapter or generate a full editorial letter that spans plot logic and prose style, quotes your own pages, calls out strengths, and ranks problems by severity with a step-by-step revision plan. A contextual chat can be pointed at the manuscript to check timelines, track a character across chapters, or hunt for plot holes, and an always-on advice panel flags contradictions, overused words, and new characters it discovers.

Completion features include one-click format presets for novels, APA, and MLA, configurable fonts and layout, DOCX/PDF/Markdown export on paid plans, a marketability report with comparable titles, and shareable read-only chapter links for beta readers. ShyEditor stores writing locally for offline work with sync, keeps version snapshots, and offers 17 themes. The company states that user writing is never used to train models.
