MechaSquid

An assistant that knows your book.

If you already use Claude or ChatGPT, connect it to MechaSquid once. From then on it can read your outline, your story bible and your timeline, on every device, with the subscription you already have. MechaSquid uses MCP, the open standard for connecting assistants to tools, so other assistants work too.

It is entirely optional. Everything in MechaSquid works without an assistant.

    Talk about your book

    Ask when two characters last met, save an idea before it slips away, or plan the next chapter together. It works on your phone too.

How it can help

Plan with you
Talk through a plot problem, sketch the next chapters as planned scenes, or build out a place, a faction or a character's history.
Remember for you
Find what you decided about a place, what a character knows at a given moment, or how long a journey takes.
Check the book
Look for contradictions in the timeline, point out names that have no page yet, and raise a question on the sentence it concerns.
Keep your story bible up to date
Find new names in what you wrote, link them to their pages, and describe the pages from your text.
Read like a first reader
Leave comments on your chapters and suggest changes for you to accept or turn down.

What stays in your hands

  • You decide how much it may change, separately for your manuscript and your world pages: only suggest, change when you agree in the conversation, or change directly.
  • Every change it makes to your text is recorded, and you can undo it on the Revisions page. New pages and relationships it adds are listed on the book's Overview.
  • Once a book is marked as published, its chapters are closed to assistants.
  • It sees only your own books, and it loses access the moment you disconnect it.

Building your own agent? It can use an API key and the same tools. Create a key in your book's Settings.

Give your assistant a memory for your book.
