Good, not perfect at following instructions
Overall, I like this tool and it's already saving me a lot of time. I already had a good start on my nonfiction book and gave it a lot of material to work with. The outline it generated wasn't quite what I had in mind, but it's not bad. Also, despite my instructions to use my exact words as much as possible and not make things up (my book is nonfiction/memoir), it is still inventing characters and events that I then have to remove. I imagine this tool might work best for someone starting from scratch rather than one as far along in its development as mine was, and I imagine it would be a fantastic tool for fiction writers. For my next book, I will start from scratch and see what happens! Still, this tool is useful enough that even though I need to do a lot of editing, it did a great job of organizing and writing. I'm happy with the purchase.

Oct 20, 2026Hi,
Thank you for the honest review, and for sticking with it through the editing.
You're right that it still invented people and events even with a clear "don't make things up" rule. On a non-fiction book, part of that comes from the setup: Details picks like "Case studies" and "Real-world examples", and chapter fields like real-life cases, ask the AI to bring that material into every chapter. When your notes don't cover it, the model fills the gap. For a memoir, three changes help most:
1. Keep what you've already written as-is. Save the finished parts as one Word .docx with a heading per chapter, start a new non-fiction book with Import Existing Book, and choose "Has full chapter text". Your chapters come in word for word (5 credits a chapter). Then use the AI chat in the editor one passage at a time, for example "smooth this transition, keep every fact and name, add nothing". Each change shows highlighted and you accept or reject it.
2. For chapters you still want the AI to write, untick case studies and real-world examples on the Details step and paste that chapter's true story or notes into its Additional Notes on the Outline step. Before writing, read the chapter card and delete any person or event that didn't happen, because the chapter is written from that card.
3. Set Target Words close to what your material can carry. A long target on a short story pushes the model to pad it with invented scenes.
Editing the outline by hand is free, so fixing it there costs less than cutting inventions out of finished chapters.
I hope it helps!
