ChatGPT answers in a thread. A novel needs a shelf: chapters, continuity notes, and edits that wait for your Accept.
Stay in ChatGPT when you are brainstorming, outlining a short piece, or pasting a paragraph for a second opinion.
Move to Typewriter when chapter twelve must remember chapter three. CoAuthor reads the open book and story bible; every suggestion waits for Accept. Bring the ChatGPT plan you already pay for under Settings → Models, or use wallet-hosted models.
