Frequently asked questions
SagaScope structures your story world while you write: characters, places, relationships, timeline. Here are the questions we hear most.
The product
What is SagaScope?
SagaScope is an AI-assisted writing studio for long, complex novels. As you write, it builds your story bible (characters, places, objects, facts), maps relationships and the timeline, and flags inconsistencies. It is designed for sagas, multi-POV novels and fantasy, sci-fi or fanfiction worlds.
Does SagaScope write my novel for me?
No. SagaScope does not generate your manuscript. It organizes, checks and helps you revise. The Writing Workshop suggests edits on a passage you select (rephrasing, repetitions, show-don't-tell, tense and point-of-view consistency, dialogue): you accept or dismiss each one.
How does SagaScope build my story bible?
The Auto-Codex reads your text, detects characters, places, objects and concepts, merges aliases ("John" and "J.P. Martin") and remembers established facts, explicit or implied. Nothing to fill in before you write: the bible grows from the manuscript. You can correct, complete or confirm its content at any time.
What can the Saga assistant do?
Saga is a conversational assistant grounded in your manuscript. It answers questions about your world ("who already knows X is a traitor?"), checks consistency, helps with revision and brainstorming, opens the relevant scene, entry or graph, and can create structured notes (mind map, timeline). Its answers rely on your text, not on guesses.
How does SagaScope keep my story consistent over hundreds of pages?
SagaScope tracks the timeline (flashbacks, time jumps, how characters change scene by scene), open plot threads and the promises made to the reader. When a passage contradicts what was established, an alert quotes the passage so you can check your text before deciding.
What is the reading committee?
The reading committee simulates several readers with different tastes. Each one scores your text (style, pacing, characters, clarity), then they debate. Sessions are kept so you can compare versions as you revise. It complements your beta readers; it does not replace them.
Getting started
Can I import an existing manuscript?
Yes. Paste your text or import a Word (.docx), PDF, EPUB, plain text, Markdown or HTML file. SagaScope detects chapters and scenes, then builds the story bible and relationship graph from the imported content.
Which export formats are available?
Your manuscript exports to DOCX, EPUB and plain text. Your story bible exports to DOCX, Markdown or JSON, and character relationships to DOCX, HTML or JSON. Your notes can be exported too.
What kind of writing is SagaScope for?
Narrative fiction: novels, long short stories, multi-book sagas, fanfiction. It shines on stories with a large cast, several points of view or a complex timeline, in fantasy, sci-fi, crime or romance. The interface is available in English and French.
Do I need an internet connection?
Yes. SagaScope runs in your browser and analysis happens on our servers. Your text is saved automatically as you write.
Access and pricing
Is SagaScope available?
Not publicly yet. The waitlist is open: people on it hear first when we open and can weigh in on upcoming features.
How much will SagaScope cost?
SagaScope will be a subscription with predictable monthly credits for in-depth analyses (reading committee, style reports, Workshop). No per-word billing. Pricing will be announced at launch, to the waitlist first.
Your writing and your data
Is my writing used to train AI models?
No. Our AI providers are configured not to train their models on your data. Excerpts are sent only to produce an answer and are not kept by the provider beyond that processing. You remain the sole owner of your text and of everything SagaScope derives from it.
Where is my data hosted?
In the European Union: the app and the database are hosted in Paris (Vercel and Supabase), in line with the GDPR.
Can I get my data back or delete it?
Yes. You can export your manuscript and story bible at any time, and delete your account from the settings. Deletion is permanent and erases your data from our servers.
