The honest brief
Spiral
Goes deeper on voice-matching than generic AI writers — a stylometry-built profile of your prose keeps drafts in your register, not the model's.
- Stylometry profile of your prose
- Three parallel drafts to remix
- Agent access via MCP, CLI, API
- Built on Every's editorial standards
- No free tier
- Prose-focused; not a general assistant
Type
A full long-form editor built for book-length drafts up to 150,000 words, not just an inline AI prompt bolted onto a notes app.
- Familiar, distraction-free editor
- Character, scene & world-building tools
- Free perpetual drafts tier
- Export to DOCX, PDF, or AI audio
- Web-only — no desktop or mobile apps
- Skews to fiction over business docs
- Smaller and newer than incumbents
