Scribeist V2 - Write without switching tools
by•
Scribeist has evolved from a blog and research tool into a complete writing platform. We've added two new workspaces: Novel (with character tracking, timelines, and world-building for writers) and General (distraction-free notes). The original Blog workspace now includes enhanced SEO tools and readability metrics. All three workspaces feature project-specific organizational tools, research tools and optional AI writing assistance that is made to understand your selected workspace.

Cool product, I also adore your website - nice illustrations!
What's your audience? I see that there is no workspace differentiation in the pricing, so it means you target people who write both novels and blogs?
Scribeist
@davidkaufmann Thanks David! Appreciate that on the illustrations.
Good question on audience. Think of the workspaces like templates (similar to how Scrivener has templates for novels vs screenplays). The idea is: whatever you need to write, you have the right tools for it. A novelist might also blog, or vice versa, so I didn't want to lock workspaces behind tiers. Pricing is based on usage (projects, AI calls) rather than workspace access.
Really like how Scribeist gives long-form writers dedicated workspaces for novels, blogs, and everyday notes so you can focus on the story instead of juggling a dozen tools.

@zeiki_yu Thanks Zeiki! Appreciate the feedback.
Seems cool. Any plans for use in medical industry, for example helping write outpatient clinic letters?
Scribeist
@nazrin_assaf Thanks Nazrin! That's an interesting use case I hadn't considered. Right now Scribeist is focused on creative and content writing, but we're planning to add more specialized workspaces for different industries down the line. Medical documentation could definitely be one of them.
Congrats on the new launch! I’ve been testing Scribeist recently and have to say it’s nice to see an AI tool that actually helps with structure and planning, not just output.
Tutorials or beginner templates could be really helpful over time. Overall, a great product!

@apira_giriharan Thanks! I'm glad to hear it and thanks for the feedback.
Hey @tannerbjorgan Congrats on your relaunch. I remember an old tool I had, maybe 10 years ago for writing my novels. I think they stopped supporting it...or I stopped writing, but I hadn't thought about it in years. You just brought be back into that brain space with so much joy that I'm about to crack out some blog posts with this.
The two main features you have, the folder like organization and the distraction free space are really well executed.
Scribeist
@kelseyesilve That's awesome to hear! There's something special about finding a writing tool that just clicks. I hope those blog posts flow easily! And if you ever get back to novel writing, the Novel workspace is ready for you. Thanks for trying it out!
Congrats on the relaunch! Splitting writing into purpose-built workspaces instead of a one-size-fits-all editor makes a lot of sense. How do the AI behaviors differ across the Novel, Blog, and General workspaces, especially in terms of context awareness and guardrails so each one supports the right kind of creative flow without bleeding into the others?
Scribeist
@vik_sh Thanks Viktor! The AI pulls context from each workspace's features. Depending on the workspace, there are different attachments you can add as context, and the AI takes on different roles with workspace-specific prompts in the background. Each workspace's AI context is also isolated and some are one off calls that don't require a long context window.
The Novel workspace actually has multiple AI systems at work, not just an LLM. The different tools feeding into the AI can create different creative flows, which is ultimately up to the user and their creativity.
In the future, it could be interesting to allow AI to understand info across workspaces, like for a book series. Still refining the guardrails, but that's the core idea.
Congratulations on the new launch! I’ve always wanted to write a book) Science fiction, actually — I even have an idea. Maybe the development of tools like these will push me to finally do it someday!

@mykyta_semenov_ Hi Mykyta, thanks for the comment! Hopefully this gives you the push to finally start. Good luck with it!
mixing "novel writing" (character tracking) and "blogging" (seo tools) in one app is a wild combo, but i see the vision. usually apps only do one well. is the ui customizable if i only want to use the fiction tools?
The workspace separation is a smart design choice. Every all-in-one writing tool eventually becomes a mess because blog writing and novel writing have completely different mental models. Having dedicated tools for each but under one roof avoids the "I need 5 apps" problem.
The blog workspace with SEO + readability scores is what would get me - currently juggling between my writing app and separate SEO checkers. Does the AI adapt its suggestions based on which workspace you're in? Like more creative suggestions in Novel vs. more structured in Blog?
