AI that actually reads your story

Stop copy-pasting.
Start writing.

Most AI writing tools forget your story after a few paragraphs. Boswell remembers everything—your characters, your plot threads, your world—so you can write with an AI that truly understands.

Chapter 3: The Keeper's Warning

“You shouldn't have come here,” the old man said, his voice barely audible above the crashing waves. His weathered hands gripped the railing as if the lighthouse itself might try to escape.

Marina stepped closer, the salt spray stinging her cheeks. “This was my grandfather's lighthouse. I have every right—”

“Rights.” Old Tom laughed, but there was no humor in it. “Your grandfather understood that some things exist beyond rights and deeds. Some things just... are.”

AI AssistantAsk

Why did Marina decide to keep the lighthouse instead of selling it?

Based on the story so far, Marina's decision stems from multiple factors:

1. **Her grandfather's letter** (Chapter 2) explicitly asks her to "protect what lies beneath" - creating a mystery she feels compelled to solve

2. **The photograph** she found of her mother as a child at the lighthouse suggests a deeper family connection she never knew about

3. **Old Tom's warning** in Chapter 3 actually strengthened her resolve - his urgency made her realize the lighthouse held genuine significance

Would you like me to suggest ways to make this motivation even clearer to readers?

The problem with AI writing tools

Copy-Paste Chaos

Constantly copying chunks of your story into ChatGPT, trying to give it enough context to be useful.

Memory Loss

“Who's Marcus again?” The AI forgets your characters, plot points, and established facts.

Context Limits

Your 80,000-word novel doesn't fit in a chat window. So you get generic, disconnected suggestions.

Boswell is different

Write in one place. Ask questions about any part of your story. Get AI suggestions that actually make sense.

Ask about a character introduced in chapter 1 while writing chapter 20. Boswell automatically finds and references the relevant passages, keeping your story consistent across hundreds of pages.

  • References any chapter instantly

AI Edit Proposal
Original:

Marina looked at the old photograph. It showed her mother standing by the lighthouse.

Proposed:

Marina's fingers trembled as she held the photograph up to the dying light. Her mother—barely older than Marina was now—stood at the lighthouse railing, her dark hair whipping in what must have been a fierce wind. But it was her expression that made Marina's breath catch: not the forced smile of a tourist, but the fierce, protective stance of someone guarding a secret.

Expanded to add emotional depth and foreshadowing, connecting to the 'secrets' theme established in Chapter 2.
