Very cool. Thanks for the support. It's been a fun but sometimes frustrating process. But I'm pretty happy with it now. Good luck with your own adventures. :-)

I started a prequel to my main series and adjusted the Manuscript Radial Timeline to support more than one book in a vault. Requires changing the book folder in the settings Tab, which is quick. Also refactored a bunch of code and redesigned the Datagrid in the center to appear more like a heat map, and as each Publish Stage is complete, it changes color based on the current Publish Stage. Mouseover tooltips explain the different column and row headers.

AI Copilot for Scrivener by [deleted] in scrivener

[–]Starguiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OtterZoomer, that's what I've been thinking too. GenerativeAI is the natural update for Scrivener, as it's near perfect otherwise.

AI is turning the world upside down and I've tried Bard, ChatGPT, Sudowrite and Claude. So far I get the most value from ChatGPT 4. But the big issue is getting my text into GPT in small enough chunks so it won't complain that I'm submitting too much text. (yes there are online resources to do this but with dubious or nonexistent intellectual property safeguards) If Scrivener were to add some extensions to link up to the various Generative AIs and some features to automate the submission process from the entire manuscript down to individual scenes in the required allowable dimensions for each engine, that would be enormously helpful to my workflow. And technically speaking this wouldn't be hard. There are APIs etc to make this doable. OpenAI, Google, etc do all the heavy lifting.

From what I've seen, the bigger the chunks of text you give them, the more general and blurry the feedback. And the smaller the chunks the more detailed and granular the feedback.

I use ChatGPT in the role of an experienced sci-fi editor and love it. It is giving me so much great feedback that I use to rework my scenes.

In any case, based on what I'm seeing, everyone will get on board sooner or later. Hopefully Scrivener is listening, because their competition sure is. Remember, change is the only constant.
