Do I need to bring my own API keys?
Yes. WordCrafter.Pro uses OpenRouter for the writing skills (you pick any model) and Gemini for image generation. You supply the keys and control your own AI costs — we're not marking them up.
What is the Professional Writing System?
PWS is a 6-phase fiction development pipeline: Story Development → Characters → Writers Room → Editorial → Merch → Marketing. Each phase has a dedicated AI specialist with a purpose-built prompt. It's the same process professional authors use — just with an AI collaborator at every stage.
Which AI models can I use?
Any text model available on OpenRouter — Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, and hundreds more. Set a default in Settings and switch models per-message in the chat panel when you need something different. Pricing is shown in the dropdown so you can make informed choices.
Is my writing stored securely?
Yes. Your documents live in Supabase with row-level security — only you can read your own data. API keys are stored encrypted server-side and never exposed to the browser.
Can I export and take my work with me?
Always. DOCX export works in Word and as Scrivener input. Markdown export produces clean files you can open anywhere. The backup download is a ZIP of all your data. Nothing is locked in.
Does it work offline?
No — WordCrafter.Pro is web-based and saves to the cloud. You need an internet connection to write and to use AI features. Your work is automatically saved as you type.
