Use AI on the book. Keep the pen.
CoAuthor suggests a line, a pin, a continuity flag. Nothing hits the page until you say yes.
The mess
ChatGPT does not know your book
Paste loops make you worse at the part only you can do.
- Forgotten eye color
- Generic literary AI
- Silent overwrite

Wired in. Propose only.

- Author DNA
- You approve
How
Do this in order
Not a feature tour. The actual path.
- 1
Write in the binder first
The manuscript is home. Import or draft. Put cast in the bible when it sprawls.
- 2
Open CoAuthor for a job
Research, plot holes, stuck scenes, outline, voice. Not 'write my novel.'
- 3
Accept or reject
Proposals only. Auto-accept is an optional draft-mode preference, never silent overnight rewrite.
- 4
Close the dock
When you are flying, it is just you and the page. Export works either way.
Questions
Straight answers
How do I use AI to help write a book without it taking over?
Use a propose-only partner inside the manuscript. CoAuthor sees binder, bible, and map, suggests, and waits. Typewriter's desk is free without opening it.
Write the book. Hardware and AI only if you want them.
Free desk forever. Optional device. CoAuthor that knocks first.
