General Questions
What is PlotWiseAI? +
PlotWiseAI is an all-in-one, AI-powered creative writing platform designed for authors, bloggers, and storytellers. It offers a suite of tools including a Novel Generator for writing books, a Blog Generator for creating SEO-optimized content, and advanced features like a Character Mapper and story analysis tools to help you craft compelling narratives from start to finish.
Is there a free version? +
Yes! All users start on our free Basic plan, which gives you access to the core features of the Novel and Blog generators with a starting pool of credits. This allows you to try out the platform and start writing immediately without any cost.
Who owns the content I create? +
Our content ownership policy depends on your subscription plan. For users on our free Basic plan, all generated text and content are the property of PlotWiseAI. While you can use the content within the platform, copying, publishing, or distributing it outside of PlotWiseAI is a violation of our terms. We utilize external AI monitoring tools, and unauthorized use of content generated under the Basic plan may result in a breach of copyright.
For our valued subscribers on any paid plan (Standard, Advanced, Enhanced, or Author Suite), you retain 100% ownership of all content you generate. You are free to publish, sell, distribute, and copyright your work without any restrictions from us. Upgrading to a paid plan grants you full commercial rights to your creations.
Will people know my book was written with AI? +
Our advanced AI models are designed to produce prose that is indistinguishable from high-quality human writing. The AI generates authentic, engaging, and seamless narratives based on your guidance. Many novels generated with PlotWiseAI have been published without readers suspecting AI involvement. The final work is a collaboration between your creativity and the AI's power.
Is the generated content plagiarism-free? +
The content generated by PlotWiseAI is 100% unique and created at the moment of your request; it is not copied from other sources. While our Blog Generator includes a plagiarism checker tool for extra peace of mind, we always recommend that authors using AI for professional or published work perform their own final checks with a dedicated plagiarism tool to ensure it meets their specific standards.
Novel Generator
How does the Novel Generator work? +
You provide the creative direction, and the AI does the heavy lifting. Start with a simple prompt or idea. Then, use the Command Center to define the story's tone, style, perspective, and language. You can add detailed character profiles, world-building notes, and plot outlines. The AI uses all this information to generate chapters that are consistent with your vision.
What's the difference between Novel v1 and Novel v2 models? +
Novel v1 is a faster, more cost-effective model, great for generating first drafts, brainstorming ideas, or writing simpler stories. Novel v2 is our premium, more advanced model available on paid plans. It excels at creating complex narratives, maintaining long-term continuity, and producing more nuanced and literary prose.
How can I export my novel? +
You can export your work in multiple formats. All users can export as a .txt file (the Basic plan is limited to the first chapter). Users on paid plans have additional options to export the full novel as a formatted .pdf or a ready-to-publish .epub file. You can also copy the full text to your clipboard on any paid plan.
What if I don't like the chapter the AI generated? +
You have several options. The "Redo" button will discard the most recent chapter and generate a completely new version based on the same prompt. Alternatively, you can use the "Adjust" button to provide specific feedback (e.g., "Make this scene more suspenseful") and the AI will rewrite the chapter with your instructions in mind. Finally, you can always open the full editor to make manual changes yourself.
Blog Generator
Can the Blog Generator help with SEO? +
Absolutely. The Blog Generator is designed to be an SEO powerhouse. After generating an article, it automatically creates an SEO-optimized title, a meta description, and a list of relevant keywords to help your content rank higher in search engines.
What is a "Writer's Persona"? +
The Writer's Persona feature allows you to define a specific personality and style for the AI to adopt. For example, you can instruct it to be "a witty tech blogger who uses pop-culture references." The AI will then maintain this voice across all generated blog content, ensuring it matches your brand's identity. This persona is saved to your account.
Advanced Features & Tools
What is the World & Character Mapper? +
The Mapper is a premium visual tool that helps you organize your story. You can create nodes for characters, locations, plot points, and key items, then connect them to see relationships and story flow at a glance. It's perfect for maintaining continuity in complex narratives and can be used with our AI Story Architect to apply classic narrative structures like "The Hero's Journey" to your plot points.
What kind of analysis can PlotWiseAI perform on my novel? +
Our premium analysis tools provide deep insights into your writing. The AI can analyze the readability of your text, suggest potential plot twists, identify major themes and motifs, and perform a continuity check to find inconsistencies in character details, timelines, or world rules.
Can the AI help me with writer's block? +
Yes! The "Tools" tab in the Novel Generator is designed for this. The AI can generate new character ideas based on your genre, enhance your existing prose to make it more vivid, write a complete dialogue scene from a simple scenario, and even act as an AI-powered thesaurus to find the perfect word.
How does the AI Cover Art generator work? +
The AI analyzes the full text of your novel to understand its core themes, mood, and genre. It then generates a unique, textless piece of cover art that visually represents your story. You just need to provide your author name and let the AI handle the artistic interpretation.
Can I edit the AI-generated content? +
Absolutely. You have complete control. Both the Novel and Blog generators include a full manual editor. You can open your generated text at any time to make precise changes, find and replace words, and refine the content to perfectly match your vision.
Account & Subscription
How do credits work? +
Credits are used to power AI generation. Different actions have different credit costs, which are clearly displayed on the action buttons (e.g., "Generate Chapter (2500 Credits)"). Free users start with a set amount of credits, and paid subscribers receive a larger pool of credits that resets monthly.
How do I upgrade my plan? +
You can upgrade your plan at any time by visiting the "Pricing" section on our homepage or from your "My Account" page. Simply choose the plan that best suits your needs (Standard, Advanced, Enhanced, or the Author Suite) and follow the secure checkout process powered by Stripe.
Can I cancel my subscription? +
Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time from your "My Account" page. If you cancel, you will retain access to your plan's premium features until the end of the current billing cycle, after which your account will revert to the Basic plan.
How is my work saved? +
Your progress is saved automatically to your account when you are logged in. In the Novel Generator, you can explicitly save your entire novel using the "Save" button in the Command Center. This ensures that your chapters, character notes, and world-building information are secure and accessible the next time you log in.
Is my writing and data kept private? +
Yes, your privacy and the security of your creative work are our top priorities. All novels and content you create are stored securely and are not accessible by anyone else. We do not use your personal data or your writing to train our AI models. For more details, please see our full Privacy Policy.
What happens if I suspend my account? +
Suspending your account will pause your billing and temporarily deactivate your access. You can reactivate your account at any time simply by signing back in.
How do I delete my account permanently? +
You can request permanent deletion from the "Danger Zone" in your account settings. Your account will be marked for deletion and permanently removed after 28 working days. If you sign in again during this period, the deletion process is automatically cancelled.
