She walked into the kitchen and poured some coffee. The morning was quiet and she didn’t feel like talking. She looked out the window.

AI Rewrite — Scene
✦ New draft

The coffee maker gurgled its usual complaint as she reached for a mug — the chipped one, the one she always grabbed without thinking. Outside, the maple tree stood perfectly still. No birds. The kind of quiet that listens back.

One tool.
Four creative lenses.

Most rewriting tools just swap words. Our AI Rewrite dives into what makes your scene work — rebuilding it through the lens that matters most, whether that’s atmosphere, voice, perspective, or emotional register.

Choose your mode, add an optional prompt, and get a complete alternative draft in your sidebar – side by side with your original. You decide what makes the final cut.

🎬

Scene Rewrite

Rebuild the atmosphere

Reimagines the scene from the ground up – same beats, new sensory life, stronger dramatic presence.

💬

Dialogue Rewrite

Make characters speak truer

Sharpens every exchange – cuts exposition, raises subtext, and makes each voice distinctly itself.

👁

Perspective Shift

See through different eyes

Rewrites the selection from an alternative POV – first, third, or a different character entirely.

🎵

Tone Rewrite

Shift the emotional register

Transposes your passage into a new emotional key — darker, lighter, more urgent, more lyrical.

From selection to new draft
in four steps.

No setup required. Just open your manuscript, highlight what you want rewritten, and let the AI do the creative lifting — while you stay firmly in control.

1

Select Your Passage

Use your mouse or keyboard to highlight any amount of text — a single sentence, a paragraph, or an entire scene. The AI adapts to any length.

2

Choose AI Rewrite

Click “AI Rewrite” in the toolbar. Pick your mode — Scene, Dialogue, Perspective, or Tone — and optionally describe the direction you want to explore.

3

Review Your Draft

A complete rewritten draft appears in your right sidebar, displayed side-by-side with your original. AI-generated text is clearly colour-coded for easy comparison.

4

Insert or Iterate

Accept the new version, keep your original, or run another pass with a different mode or prompt. Every rewrite is a creative option — never an obligation.

Scene Rewrite

Same story beat.
Entirely new presence.

The Scene Rewrite mode takes the bones of your passage — the action, the setting, the emotional through-line — and rebuilds it with richer sensory detail, stronger atmosphere, and sharper dramatic tension. Your plot stays intact. The scene comes alive.


  • Sensory and environmental detail expanded

  • Dramatic tension and pacing sharpened

  • Flat action transformed into charged prose

  • Story beats and character actions preserved

Before

She went to the door and opened it. The man was standing there. He looked wet.

After — Scene Rewrite
Rewritten

She pulled the door open and the storm came in before he did — cold air, the smell of rain on asphalt, and something else underneath it, something that made her hold the handle tighter. He stood on the threshold, water dripping from the brim of his hat, expression unreadable.

Dialogue Rewrite

Characters that speak.
Not explain.

Dialogue Rewrite transforms on-the-nose exchanges into charged, naturalistic conversation. The AI strips away expository filler, raises the subtext, and gives each character a voice that feels like their own — not the narrator’s.


  • Expository “as you know” dialogue eliminated

  • Subtext and power dynamics raised

  • Each character’s voice made distinct

  • Informed by your Lore Book character profiles

💬 Charged Exchange

“I am very angry at you,” said Marcus. “You always do things that upset me.
“I’m sorry you feel that way,” Elena replied.

After — Dialogue Rewrite

Marcus set his glass down with great care. “You did it again.”
Elena didn’t look up from her book. “Did what?”
“You know.”

Perspective Shift

The same moment.
Completely different truth.

Sometimes a scene isn’t working because you’re inside the wrong head. The Perspective Shift rewrites your selection through a different character’s eyes — or from a new narrative distance — so you can discover which point of view makes your story sing.


  • Shift between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person

  • Rewrite from any character’s perspective

  • Narrative distance adjusted (close vs distant)

  • Character knowledge and bias preserved

Tone Rewrite

The same words.
A completely different feeling.

Tone Rewrite is your creative tuning fork. It transposes your selected passage into a new emotional register — darker, more hopeful, more urgent, more lyrical — while keeping every plot element and character action exactly in place.


  • Emotional register shifted precisely to your brief

  • Darkening, lightening, or tension modes available

  • Diction and imagery recalibrated to match mood

  • Plot and action preserved throughout

🎵 Tone Shifted

The children played in the garden and laughed. It was a nice, sunny afternoon and everyone felt happy.

After — Tone Rewrite (Darker)

The children played in the garden. Their laughter came in quick bursts, bright and a little too loud, as if filling up the silence before it returned. The afternoon sun threw long shadows across the grass — longer than it should, this early.

Built for authors who need
more than a synonym.

Every AI Rewrite feature is designed to expand your creative options — not replace your voice. You make every final decision. The AI brings the alternatives.

Select Any Length

Rewrite a single sentence or an entire chapter. The AI scales its approach to the scope of your selection — tight prose for sentences, dramatic architecture for scenes.
