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 arrives as a before/after diff, labeled by type: grammar, word choice, formatting.
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.
- Set the look once, from vintage engravings to modern styles, and every illustration 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, footers. Set it once and every chapter follows.
