> Both are browser novel tools. Typewriter’s edge is CoAuthor that knows the bible, Planner/Auto, and one login with the rest of your CloudCrew.

## Structure plus agent

Dabble focuses on plotting chrome. Typewriter keeps structure beside propose-only AI and CloudCrew desks when you hire them.

## FAQ

### Do I need CloudCrew?

Typewriter runs as Book Author on CloudCrew. The writing desk works without hiring the full crew.

### Does Typewriter have Instant / Auto?

Yes — Auto runs idea → chapters → cover checks on your shelf. Stop anytime and keep editing.

### How is AI priced?

Desk SaaS is separate from AI. Use wallet tokens or bring ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok.
