What each one does

General Writing

  • Writes professional content in clean markdown format with proper structure
  • Automatically incorporates research sources and adds proper citations throughout
  • Creates tables and graphs using mermaid when presenting data or comparisons
  • Ensures all citations link back to real sources and appear in relevant contexts
  • Adapts language and tone to match your needs while maintaining professional quality

Prose Critique

  • Analyzes fiction drafts for plot logic, pacing issues, scene necessity, and stakes
  • Evaluates character motivation, arc progression, and relationship dynamics for consistency
  • Reviews voice quality, dialogue authenticity, POV discipline, and subtext
  • Identifies line-level prose problems like rhythm, clarity, repetition, and show-vs-tell balance
  • Checks continuity across facts, timeline, geography, and character states

When to pick each one

Reach for General Writing when…

  • You need to write a research-backed article or report but don't want to manually format citations
  • You're creating content that needs tables or visual data representations
  • You want professional-quality writing without spending hours on structure and formatting
  • You need credible, well-sourced content that looks polished and publication-ready

Reach for Prose Critique when…

  • You've finished a draft and need honest feedback on what's not working
  • You're revising a novel or short story and want to focus on specific dimensions like character or pacing
  • You need to know which structural issues to fix before polishing prose
  • You want adversarial reading that challenges your assumptions rather than validates them
