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
