Authors can import Word, Markdown, or HTML files and export their work, and the platform is mobile compatible for jotting down ideas or reviewing stories. Listed AI options include OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral AI, OpenRouter, LM Studio, and Ollama. Hobbyist and higher plans allow authors to bring their own AI key.
