Manuscript import
Bring in an existing DOCX, PDF, Markdown, or text manuscript. Canonwise separates it into workable scenes and preserves the source text for editing.
Features
A writing workspace that can follow the whole story.
Canonwise combines manuscript editing, structured story knowledge, and an AI collaborator while keeping suggestions separate from approved canon.
Characters and relationships
Track names, aliases, facts, states, first appearances, and changing relationships without maintaining a separate spreadsheet.
Locations, organizations, and items
Build a connected reference for the places, factions, and objects that matter to the story.
Narrative timeline
Collect ordered story events and see what has happened before the scene you are writing now.
Canon review
AI analysis creates proposals. A proposed fact becomes approved canon only after you review it.
Conflict detection
Surface contradictions between new proposals and approved story facts instead of quietly overwriting them.
Story-aware questions
Ask about motivations, prior events, relationships, and unresolved threads using structured canon and manuscript evidence.
Scene continuation
Generate a starting point or continuation using the current draft and relevant story context, then choose whether to apply it.
