The record

Purpose: ShyEditor describes itself as an AI writing studio for novelists.
Planning: Its Story Engine drafts a synopsis and chapter plan from a premise, and its knowledge base tracks story characters, places, and events.
Drafting: The editor offers voice-aware sentence suggestions, grammar and style checking, and writing goals and streaks.
Revision: The product offers chapter critique and full-book feedback covering areas such as plot logic, pacing, and prose style.
Export: ShyEditor offers configurable book formatting presets; Basic exports TXT, while Pro adds DOCX, PDF, and Markdown export.
Imports: Users can import DOCX, TXT, or Markdown drafts, and the product can extract characters, places, and events into the knowledge base.
Offline use: The maker says writing is stored locally in the browser and syncs when the user reconnects; AI features need an internet connection.
Sharing and collaboration: Chapter sharing is read-only, and the maker says real-time collaboration is not yet available.
Other audiences: The site also describes tools for academic writing and research, including citations, bibliography management, a PDF library, DOI source search, and research reports.
AI credits: The maker says AI actions spend credits, with 20 monthly credits on free accounts and 500 monthly credits on Pro; writing, grammar checking, and automatic AI advice do not use credits.
Privacy: The site says user writing is not used to train its or its providers' AI models, and its privacy policy says it does not sell personal information or use it for advertising.
Security: The privacy policy says Shy Systems uses technical and organizational security measures but does not guarantee that transmission or storage is completely secure.
Support: Pro includes priority support, and the site lists [email protected] for support requests.
Integrations: The maker pages opened describe file import and export and research source features, but do not name third-party product integrations.
Price from: $10/mo
