What Is It?

Writing is not just about cobbling together
a sentence jam-packed with fancy words, it is the art of telling a story, and
nothing is worse than a rushed story. Even the best of the best pen paragraphs
that feel rushed and descriptions that act bland. However, Sudowrite will take
care of these follies and allow you to spill out your creative genius without a
worry in the world. Moreover, Sudowrite will help you get your writing snowball
started with generative content that mimics your voice. Join us on this exciting
dive into Sudowrite and see how it can take your writing career to the next
level!

How It Works

The technology behind Sudowrite uses
cutting-edge solutions such as GPT-3 and GPT-4, with a whopping 175+ billion
parameter Transformer models created by OpenAI. These intricate webs of neural
networks and an enormous dataset allow it to support authentic human writing
and even mimic it to a certain degree.

Sudowrite is based on you entering prompts,
concepts, segments of text, and your own tone of voice. It then combines these
aspects into incredible stories and poems that take your breath away. Moreover,
it is the ultimate solution for writer’s block since it helps you branch your
story and enrich it with features such as describe, canvas, write, brainstorm,
and poem.

However, the magic does not end there. You
can use Sudowrite as the ultimate storyboard. It even has visualization
capabilities that generate quirky images that help you imagine your characters
and the emotional worlds that they embody.

While Sudowrite is focused on English, it
does perform reasonably well in other languages. However, the poem generation
was somewhat clumsy in our Slovenian test case.

Your free trial starts with 4000 words,
which is just barely enough to test out all the features. Plans start at a cool
$10 a month and go up to $100 a month. The best option, in our opinion, is the
professional package since it gives you access to a whopping 90.000 AI words
per month.

Use Cases

Crafting a complex story in our heads is
great, especially late at night when we dread falling asleep, but remembering
it a few days later is a nightmare. A great way to tackle this issue is with
the Canvas feature, which allows you to save cards with plot information,
character details, and other tidbits that make for the ultimate story. These
can be interconnected and used as the basis for automatic visualization.

Once you start writing, you will eventually
encounter writer's block. Simply click on the Write button, and Sudowrite will
give you three branching options that take your story into unknown waters.

If you find yourself being completely lost
for words, simply click the Describe button and choose one of five possible
descriptors that then enrich your story in unexpected ways. When you combine Write
and Describe with Brainstorm, you end up with the perfect writing assistant
that will make writer’s block a distant memory.

Products

Sudowrite has crafted multiple incredible
tools that can take your writing to the next level. Each of these is specialized
in one of writing's most painful conundrums, namely writing, describing,
storyboarding, brainstorming, visualizing, and rephrasing.

Write

The most intuitive of all Sudowrite
features is the Write button. All you have to do is start writing into an input
box and tap the Write button whenever you feel like it. The AI will pick up
your tone of voice, intent, target audience, and writing style. It will then
generate three possible continuations of your content that you can either
insert or ignore.

Describe

The next step in your creative journey is
using the Describe feature to enrich your text. All you have to do is select a
string and tap the Describe button. This will then give you the choice of five
description methods, namely by sight, smell, taste, touch, or metaphor.

Canvas

Starting a story and enriching it with
various descriptions is excellent, but it can quickly get messy if you do not
create a storyboard. Use the Canvas feature to build a flowchart with text
boxes and AI-generated visuals. Choose between various story structures,
including the hero's journey, Hollywood beats, story circle, and romance
outline. Expand each box with the fill me in button or branch it with the
generation button. You never know where Sudowrite will take your story.

Brainstorm

Brainstorming is a mandatory aspect of any
writing adventure. Use the built-in Brainstorm tool for characters, dialogue,
world-building, plot points, names, places, objects, descriptions, article
ideas, tweets, or something completely random.

Rephrase

It is not uncommon for paragraphs to get
too long or simply lose the beat or tone of their ancestors. Select the
sections that are bothering you and tap the Rephrase button. Then choose one of
several handy options such as shorter, more descriptive, show not tell, more
inner conflict, more intense, and custom.

Shrink Ray, Twist, and Characters

These three buttons are the building blocks
of any page-turner. The shrink ray shrinks your text while retaining its
quality, the twist gives your existing story a juicy twist, and the characters
feature allows you to deepen your characters.

Poem

Once you get bored of writing stories or if
you want to enrich your book with some random poetry, click the Poem button and
enter a topic, title, and at least five prompts. Watch as Sudowrite crafts gorgeous
poetry in front of your very eyes. Note that the quality of said poetry is
diminished in foreign languages.
