Write
Ask in plain language — or type /
Prose works in the margin of your manuscript, never in a separate chat window. Describe what you need, or reach for a skill. Nothing lands in your book without your review.
- Stuck at chapter one?
/drafting-partnerco-drafts scenes from your beats, notes, or outline — in your book’s voice.- Lost the thread?
/continue-chapterpicks up where you stopped, using nearby chapters, your voice, and project memory.- Not sure it lands?
/beta-readerreacts like a first reader — impressions, confusion, pacing — before anyone else sees it.

Edit
Edits with surgical precision.
Prose edits are shown as reviewable diffs. See exactly what changes, then accept or reject — your voice stays yours.
- Final pass before publishing?
- Sweep a chapter for grammar, clarity, and consistency in one ask.
- Protective of your style?
- Tell Prose to fix only typos and leave the voice alone — it listens.
- Want the details?
- Every fix is labeled — grammar, word choice, formatting — with a before/after diff.
Illustrate
Pictures, made from your words.
Ask for an illustration and Prose draws artwork that belongs in your book — grounded in your chapter, saved to your assets, ready to place.
- Grounded, not generic.
- Prose reads the scene before it draws — its tea party has your Dormouse asleep between the March Hare and the Hatter.
- One style, every plate.
- From vintage engravings to modern styles — set the look once and every illustration in the book keeps it.
- Yours to place.
- Finished artwork lands in your project assets, ready to drop in with one line of Markdown.
Design
Typeset like a professional.
A real paginated preview with a full style system — fonts, spacing, alignment and footers. Set it once, and every chapter follows.
- Unlimited fonts.
- Manage which fonts you want to use — every font installed on your Mac is available.
- Paragraph spacing.
