The Novel Builder takes rough notes through analysis, worldbuilding and chapter planning in eight reviewable steps.
The Studio workspace showing the Novel Builder Agent on step one of eight, with a text area for rough story notes and a checklist of what the builder looks for: detail, your own names, a central conflict, a power system and stakes.
Nothing is written to your project until you say so. Each stage is a proposal you can edit, reject or regenerate.
Names you wrote are passed through as fixed anchors, and anything the generator drops is reported back to you rather than quietly replaced.
Every AI call reports its real token usage — prompt, thinking, output — so nothing about what you are spending is hidden.
