Official FAQ
- Will the AI write my novel for me?
- It can draft a scene or outline your chapters when you ask it to, but it is a tool, not a ghostwriter. You decide what it works on, and you decide what stays. The books that come out of ShyEditor are written by their authors.
- Is my writing used to train AI models?
- No. Your writing is never used to train our models or anyone else's, and our AI providers are not permitted to train on it either. When ShyEditor learns your writing style, that analysis is private to your account and only shapes your own suggestions. Your words stay yours.
- What are AI credits and how far do they go?
- Credits are only spent on AI. A rephrase, an autocomplete you accept, a chat question, or a chapter critique costs 1 credit; big jobs cost more, like 50 for the full-book review. Writing, grammar checking, and the automatic AI advice never cost credits. You get 100 when you sign up, free accounts refresh with 20 per month, and Pro includes 500 per month.
- Can I import the draft I already have?
- Yes. Import DOCX, TXT, or Markdown when you create a project. For novels, ShyEditor can also read the imported text and fill your knowledge base with the characters, places, and events it finds.
- Does ShyEditor work offline?
- Yes. Your writing is stored locally in your browser, so you can keep working without a connection. Changes sync automatically when you are back online. AI features need a connection.
- Is there a mobile app or real-time collaboration?
- Not yet. ShyEditor is a web app, and sharing is read-only: you can send anyone a link to a chapter and they can read it without an account, which works well for beta readers.
