Sudowrite
Sudowrite is an AI-powered writing companion built specifically for fiction writers and novelists. Founded by writers Amit Gupta and James Yu, Sudowrite aims to be the "non-judgmental AI writing partner you always wanted."
The platform features Muse 1.5, a proprietary AI model trained specifically for fiction writing, offering unparalleled story intelligence. Sudowrite helps writers at every stage of the creative process—from brainstorming ideas and developing characters to drafting prose and editing final manuscripts.
What sets Sudowrite apart is its deep understanding of narrative structure, character development, and storytelling craft. The tool has received praise from bestselling authors like Hugh Howey ("Silo") and Emmy-winning screenwriter Bernie Su, with The New York Times noting it produces "impressively cogent paragraphs."
The platform offers a comprehensive suite of writing tools including Story Bible for novel planning, intelligent autocomplete, scene expansion, revision assistance, and even visualization features that generate art from written descriptions. With over 1,000 plugins available, writers can customize their experience extensively.
Sudowrite is backed by notable investors including the founders of Medium, Twitter, Gumroad, Rotten Tomatoes, and WordPress, as well as Hollywood writers and directors.
