With good planning, it's possible to write your book within the trial period – I completed mine in just seven days.

Past or present tense
Language (start with English for practice)
First-person or third-person narration
Collaborative options

Step 5: Codex - Your Book's Database

The Codex helps the AI understand your book's universe. Add detailed descriptions of your characters (e.g., the protagonist, Jacob), the world, objects, lore, and genre. This will guide the AI in generating accurate text.

Step 6: Plan Your Chapters

The "Plan" tab lets you outline your chapters and scenes. You can use pre-existing structures to help plot your book. Ensure you have a clear outline prepared before entering each scene.
