Getting Started Guide
How to use WriteWithPaige
Short video tutorials for every major feature — what it does, how to use it, and when to reach for it. For fiction writers and marketing teams alike.
New here? Start with this.
- 1Open the workspace and create your first project.
- 2Tell Paige about your story in chat — or just say “help me start a fantasy novel”.
- 3Add a few Story Bible entries (or let agentic mode build them) and write your first chapter.
Story Bible
Your story's memory
The Story Bible tracks your characters, locations, items, lore, factions, and plot arcs. Paige reads every entry before each reply, so names, backstories, and timelines stay consistent across your whole project.
- 1Open the Bible tab in your workspace sidebar.
- 2Add entries — characters, locations, items, lore, factions, plot arcs.
- 3Paige reads them before every reply, and updates them as the story grows.
When to use it
- *Start early. Even three entries keep names and timelines consistent.
- *With agentic mode on, Paige maintains entries for you as chapters land.
- *Stuck? Ask "what do you know about my villain?" — she answers from the Bible.
Chapters
Write books, not chats
The workspace gives you a real chapter editor — drafts, revisions, word counts, and reordering. Write yourself, or ask Paige to draft a chapter while keeping continuity with everything before it.
- 1Create chapters in the sidebar — drag to reorder anytime.
- 2Write in the editor, or ask Paige to draft a chapter for you.
- 3Track status from Draft to Revision to Final, and lock finished chapters so AI never edits them.
When to use it
- *Anything longer than a scene belongs in a chapter, not the chat.
- *Locked chapters are still read for continuity — they just can’t be changed.
- *Export your full manuscript anytime. Your work is yours.
Agentic Mode
Paige takes action
With agentic mode on, Paige doesn’t just answer — she acts on your project. Say "write chapter 4" and she drafts it, updates the Story Bible, and keeps the timeline consistent, then shows you exactly what changed.
- 1Toggle Agentic Mode on in the chat.
- 2Ask for outcomes: "write chapter 4", "fix the timeline", "add this character".
- 3Review what she changed — you always have final say.
When to use it
- *Turn it on when you want chapters drafted and the Bible maintained for you.
- *Turn it off when you just want to brainstorm without anything changing.
- *Treat her changes like a co-author’s — skim them before moving on.
Writing Modes
Three ways to write
Switch between Story, Companion, and Campaign mode from the chat header. Story mode co-writes fiction with full project context. Companion mode is a freeform conversation for brainstorming. Campaign mode runs tabletop-style adventures with character sheets and dice.
- 1Story — co-write your book with chapters and Bible in view.
- 2Companion — think out loud: plot holes, what-ifs, character arcs.
- 3Campaign — play inside your world with sheets, dice, and combat.
When to use it
- *Drafting? Stay in Story mode so the whole project stays in view.
- *Companion mode is a conversation, not a draft — nothing gets written to chapters.
- *Campaign mode is the fastest way to stress-test your world’s rules.
Muses
Pick Paige's voice
Muses are writing personalities — over 50 of them, each tuned for a genre or style. Pick up to two and their styles blend, or build a custom Muse with your own tone, pacing rules, and even forbidden words.
- 1Open the Muse selector in chat or the workspace.
- 2Pick up to two Muses — their styles blend.
- 3Or create your own: tone, genre, pacing, forbidden words.
When to use it
- *Switch Muses between projects — thriller pacing for one, literary prose for another.
- *A custom Muse with your rules is the fastest way to get "your voice" back.
- *Browse community Muses for ready-made styles.
Brand Projects
On-brand, every time
The workspace isn’t just for fiction. Brand projects give marketing teams the same memory system, retooled for business: a Brand Bible holds your voice, audience personas, product briefs, messaging frameworks, competitor intel, and style rules — and Paige writes every blog post, email, and social caption against it.
- 1Create a new project and choose Brand instead of Fiction.
- 2Fill your Brand Bible: voice, audience personas, messaging, style rules.
- 3Ask for content — blogs, emails, social — Paige writes in your brand voice.
When to use it
- *Your brand voice and style rules ride along with every draft, automatically.
- *Repurpose one document across channels — blog to LinkedIn to email.
- *Ask "check this against our brand guidelines" before anything ships.
Text Paige
Your story, by SMS
Link your phone number and text Paige from anywhere — no app, no laptop. She remembers your characters and world, and can save good ideas straight to your Story Bible. Available on premium plans.
- 1Open Settings → Text Paige and link your phone number.
- 2Enter the verification code she texts you.
- 3Text her like a friend — she knows your story.
When to use it
- *Ideas strike on walks and commutes — capture them by text.
- *Ask her to save an idea to your Bible and it’s there when you’re back.
- *Manage or unlink your number anytime in Settings.
