Deep Understanding

AI that actually
knows your story

Generic AI tools know nothing about your novel. Edda's assistant is different. It automatically feeds your project data -- characters, plot outlines, worldbuilding details, and the manuscript itself -- into every prompt, so suggestions are always relevant to your specific work.

  • Character profiles, traits, and relationships are included automatically
  • Plot structure and beat sheets give the AI narrative awareness
  • Worldbuilding lore ensures consistency with your setting
  • Current scene and surrounding chapters provide immediate context
Purpose-Built for Authors

50+ prompts, every writing challenge covered

Not just a chat window with a blank input. Edda ships with over fifty specialized prompts organized by the kind of help you need, each one engineered to produce actionable, craft-focused results.

Character Analysis

Evaluate character arcs, identify flat motivations, suggest deepening techniques, and analyze relationships between your cast members.

Plot & Structure

Detect plot holes, check for consistency across chapters, analyze pacing, and identify unresolved threads that need attention before your story wraps up.

Dialogue

Generate dialogue that matches each character's voice, improve existing conversations for naturalism, and add subtext and tension to flat exchanges.

Style & Voice

Analyze your prose style, identify overused patterns, match the tone of a specific chapter, and get suggestions for strengthening your unique authorial voice.

Brainstorming

Break through writer's block with story continuations, "what if" scenarios, alternate plot directions, and creative exercises grounded in your existing narrative.

Scene Work

Expand thin scenes with sensory detail and emotional depth, or compress bloated passages into tight, punchy prose. Control the zoom level of your narrative.

You Own Your Data

Private by design,
not by promise

Other writing tools send your unpublished manuscripts to remote servers and hope for the best. Edda takes a fundamentally different approach. With Ollama, the AI runs on your machine. Your drafts, your characters, your world -- none of it ever touches a network cable.

When you do choose a cloud provider like OpenAI or Anthropic, your API key is stored locally and requests go directly from your machine to the provider. Edda never proxies, logs, or stores your AI interactions on any server we control.

The Edda privacy guarantee

We never see your manuscripts. We never see your AI prompts. We never see your API keys. There is no telemetry, no analytics, and no server-side processing of your creative work. Period.

Local-Only Mode

Use Ollama and never make a single network request. Ideal for unpublished manuscripts, sensitive content, and authors who simply prefer keeping their work offline.

Custom Prompts

Create and save your own prompts for recurring tasks. Build a personal library of AI instructions tailored to your genre, style, and workflow.

Temperature Control

Adjust creativity settings from precise and conservative to wildly inventive. Dial in exactly the right level of creative risk for each task.

Character Analysis: Elara Voss

Elara's arc follows a classic trust-to-betrayal-to-self-reliance pattern. Her defining trait -- that clipped speech under stress -- is consistent through Ch. 1-11 but notably absent in Ch. 8.

Consider restoring it during the interrogation scene to maintain voice consistency.
