This is single handedly the best AI writing tool I have ever seen to date. Nothing even comes close and I wouldn't consider doing serious writing without using this tool. It really is that good. But before we dive into this, I do want to say we have a giveaway coming up that's completely free to enter and there'll be more on that giveaway at the end of the video. For now, let's check out Sudowrite. Bang. We're in a fresh project on Sudowrite.com and yeah, it's overwhelming. I know it's not just you, it's also me too. When I first loaded a new project project in here up I was like, oh my God, there's a lot of stuff going on. But I spent some time with it yesterday, a couple hours with it. So I think I am finally ready to explain to you guys how this platform works and how you can leverage and use it. I think this is going to be a long one folks. So buckle up. We're going to start all the way up at the top here. We're going to go through the UI and explain what some of these AI enhancements and tools actually do for your writing. So first up at the top we have this big write button and this engages AI writing. There's actually different modes for this right button. First is auto, which is Auto complete plus magic, which is a really fun mode. We'll get into that guided, which can follow your instructions and also come up with new instructions for itself which is really interesting. Also tone shift which is a lot of fun as well, changes the whole style of the writing. And then finally some settings for this specific bar as well. Like I said, this gets deep. There's a lot of features in sudowrite, so hold on to your seatbelts while I blast you with even more information. Next up we have the Rewrite section which operates by highlight. This one also does have some extra settings as well, but they're not going to be in this drop down area. In specific next up is describe where you can actually check or uncheck certain senses. It's interesting though, like these bars, they don't like to stay where they're supposed to be all the time, so you can see they're kind of moving on their own. And they also have this Brainstorm mode which actually takes you to a different section of the website. And then finally, plugins. Not gonna lie, haven't messed with plugins. I think we'll talk about those at a later if you guys are still interested in this zooming back on out, we can see in the center here we've got some sort of document. We've got some pretty basic writing tools. Different headings, paragraph, bolder, italics, undo everything that you think you'd pretty much need. You can also make comments, which is nice. So it's set up to actually do some pretty serious writing. Now I can also make new documents if I want to and put them in folders in the sorting area here on the side. But we're only going to operate in one document for the time being. Now over here on the right hand side, you're going to find your history slash favorites. And this is essentially where all of the AI goodness is going to pop out. And then you can include it into your main document very easily from this history tab. Now there's even more. If we scroll down here, we can see there's all these other extra tools. This is the story bible. First up here we've got a general brain dump where you put everything you know about the story. Yes, this is indeed tailored for fiction writing specifically, but I believe it could lend itself to other areas as well. But all of this story bible stuff pertains mostly to actually creating and writing stories. So yeah, brain dump. Put whatever you want in there. You can see this section affects the synopsis of the story and the beats in the writing as the AI goes through. You can also do a genre if you want. Again, it shows you what this affects in terms of writing style. And speaking of style, you actually can change the various writing styles and tones that the AI is going to use. They have some featured ones. You can do a match my style if you're already pasting in a bunch of work you were currently doing, where you could do custom for the most control possible. You can also do a synopsis of your story, introduce the characters, goals, central conflict, the story's tone and themes, and unique elements. You can add separate characters, give them their own backstories and information that the AI can pick up on and lead off of, which really helps organize everything and keep things consistent as the AI is writing. It's really quite good. We've also got world building, so lore, setting, economy, key events, clues, a magic system. I mean this is set up to do full novels, really handle anything you can throw at it. And on top of that they also have an outline. And you can of course generate all these elements as well. You could auto generate characters, you could auto generate world building elements, or even the whole novel outline. Essentially these tools are allowing you to add as Much of your own creativity, as much of your own nuance as you want. I wouldn't use AI to generate everything because I think it's far more fun to work with the AI to build a story yourself. On top of this, if you guys prefer to work on, like, more of a canvas, they also have this mode which is totally insane. Haven't messed around too much with it, but, you know, you can put your characters in here and get some ideas going. It's pretty cool. So we'll put a heading here. We'll just call this Journey to the Stars. Let's come up with an interesting idea. How about a janitor at a space operations location falls into a rocket and goes to space. You know, that's a. That's a fun journey. So brain dump janitor named Paul at a rocket company named Elite Space, falls into a rocket and journeys through a wormhole in space to alien worlds. That sounds like a fun story. Let's do some character creation. I'll start by clicking add a new character. And here we go. We'll start with our janitor, Paul. He's obviously a protagonist, so we can select that. So the cool thing is that we can have AI assist us in filling out the personality, the background, physical description, etc. So for personality, we'll just say he's very humble, and we'll see where the AI goes from there. Paul is a very humble individual who often underestimates his own capabilities. Despite working at a prestigious rock company, he remains grounded and treats everyone with kindness and respect. Amazing. What's his background? Make it tragic. Paul needs a tragic backstory. Small town, overshadowed by the loss of his father, who is an astronaut and died during a space mission. That's terrible. Deep fear and fascination with space connected to his father's legacy while being a janitor. You know, that's interesting. I like that it's building off of what it wrote down for his personality. You can see that all of this information you input is connected in the AI system as a whole, and it will help fill itself out accurately. And it gets especially good when we genuinely start writing the story itself. Physical description, again, like, we don't really care too much about his physical description, especially for this scenario. So we'll just fill this in and the dialogue style as well. Average, slightly rugged, brown hair, blue eyes. I guess he's got a nice smile, modesty and thoughtfulness. Calm, measured tone. Sure. We can also give him a trait. Let's see. He has anxiety about space. Nice. Let's now make some Alien characters. Zorpli the alien. He's just a supporting character. He's an alien who helps Paul early on. Write that personality out for me. Give him a background as well. Grew up on a rough planet. Poor Zorpli. I really like how easily you can kind of just throw little prompts and little side notes at the AI and it can just fill the rest in for you and it's usually pretty darn good. Zorpli grew up on a planet with rugged and challenging harsh climates. Alright, now Zorpli, I'm gonna be real. I want him to be small. So we're gonna say he's a small, cute guy. Soft, luminescent quality skin. It's warm and inviting. Alright, that's Zorpli and Paul done for. Let's add another character. And this time we need, you know, some sort of a villain antagonist. Genthar the Third. Alright. This guy is an alien bent on taking over the local super cluster. So he's not a good guy. Obviously, you know, the villain has to have an extremely tragic background or else how. How would he become the villain? Already leaning into specific tropes here as we create these characters. And the AI knows that too. Planet ravaged by endless conflict, his family ruled until they were betrayed and overthrown. He witnessed the brutal execution of his parents, an event that fueled his desire for power and control. Physical description massive. Obviously villains got to be a big scary dude. This guy's basically just Thanos. Right? Okay. And his dialog style, obviously it's going to be scary. Very, very cool. And by the way, you can also add other characters into the story as you write them in and the AI will go along with it. This really is more for your main, main characters that are gonna appear in your story quite often. Right. So let's start writing. I'm going to start by writing something myself and letting the AI continue it. This is something that typically you don't do with chat GPT and really harkens back, at least in my mind, to the days of GPT da Vinci in the OpenAI playground, where it was just a completion model. It wasn't fine tuned for chat or anything like that. So it would just try to finish whatever text you put in. And I thought that that was specifically great for writing. So I'm really happy to see that Sudowrite brought that back to some degree. Alright. I wrote a sentence. Sploosh. Paul's mop dunked softly into the elite space branded mop bucket. And that's kind of like a boring sentence. So let's say we rewrite. Let's have this as a show, not tell. So I put my basic idea down, but I'm gonna have the AI rewrite it to actually sound like I know what I'm I'm doing when I'm writing a book. Pretty incredible. Paul gripped the wooden handle of his mop tightly as he submerged its worn gray strands into the Elite Space branded mop bucket. The water inside swirled with a faint hint of detergent and a soft sploosh echoed in the quiet room, signaling the beginning of another long cleaning session in Freakin Credible. It's very descriptive. Very good. I like it. We'll keep that in there. Next up, let's add some dialogue. Hey Paul, Happy Friday. Any weekend plans? Asked engineer Mindy. Again, I don't really particularly like this, so let's rewrite it and we'll make it just a little bit more descriptive. Sure. Add that in. Happy Friday. Called out Mindy the engineer with her bright eyes and infectious smile that always seemed to light up the room. Got any exciting plans for the weekend? She inquired, her voice full of genuine interest as she leaned against the door frame of his office. Well, you know, let's be honest. Paul does not have an office. We'll say it's her office. It even describes the afternoon sun casting a golden glow through the window. Very cool. Now we have something pretty decent going of like a little bit of like a start to the story. Like painting the picture. Let's now have the AI begin to write for us. Now, if you already have an idea in your mind, by the way, if you already have even the start to a book or the start to a story, I recommend just pasting it in here and even doing your own writing until you think you need the AI's help to overcome a block or figure out what's going to happen next. But you know, for the sake of time and for the sake of showing this tool off, let's set this to Autocomplete plus Magic and click right and you can see it gives us a whole couple of paragraphs here. Let's insert these and see if they, you know, fit with our story. Paul glanced up, managing a smile as his glasses slid down his nose. Oh, you know me. Just the usual push a mop across the tiled floor with rhythmic strokes. Might catch up on some shows. How about you? Mindy shrugged, brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear. I'm headed to that new Zero Gravity Climbing gym. Thought I'd try something different. Sounds like Fun, Paul said, touch of envy in his voice. See, it knows how to like, careen the story or drive the story in a way that expresses the emotions of the character. It really is designed for writing fiction. It's pretty good at it. He watches. Minnie waved goodbye and disappeared down the corridor, her footsteps echoing before fading into silence. Left with the hum of distant machinery. Paul finished mopping and wheeled his cart towards the supply closet. The station was quiet at this hour, feeling more like an abandoned habitat than a bustling hub of stellar tech innovation. And you see, it even adds like little key details here to push the story along. Put the mop and the bucket away, ready to call it a night. Notice something wedged behind a stack of box is a small silver object. And you know what's cool is I could also just highlight this and you know, let's expand this, let the AI decide what this object is going to be and we'll put that in with heavy arms and even heavier mighty reach for the light switch. Ready to call it a night. Something caught his attention. A glint of silver wedged behind a stack of neglected boxes. He crouched down for a closer look. A stray bolt or a tool left behind by a distracted engineer. His heart quickened as the thought that maybe it wasn't something so ordinary after all. He pulled gingerly at the boxes, clearing a narrow path. It really goes in deep describing him actually getting this object out, touching the cool metallic surface. So, you know, you could lighten up some of this, for example, like obviously I think that's a little bit too descriptive maybe for just picking up a piece of metal. But yeah, we can insert it there. It is a little bit shorter. On closer inspection, he realized that the metal object was engraved with the faint letters of his father's initials. The story keeps it going and it knows that Paul has a backstory. His father died at the same place that he works now as the janitor. And this is an important object, something that's obviously foreshadowing for an object that's going to be important later on. Right? So let's shift the tone here. We're going to go up to the right section on the arrow. We're going to go down to tone shift. And you can see there's all these different ones that you can pick. Authoritative, romantic, ominous, fantastical. Let's do something fantastical. Right for me. And again over here on the side, it's going to write down a fantastical plot twist and as you can see, it added a nice fantastical, more high energy next piece to this story, Paul discovers, you know, the JJ are his father's initials. It describes his heart thumping in his chest with a mix of confusion and nostalgia. It's been years since he saw anything belonging to his father, especially here at his place of work. But now he has renewed energy. He stood and dusted off the tag. The questions buzzed louder than the machinery. I mean, that is definitely like, that's the type of writing that you see in novels anyways. He clutches the tag tightly. He left the closet. He goes to his small living quarters at the place. And again it notes here he has half finished model spaceships and outdated, I assume like posters or space themed things in his closet. Again, it's kind of leaning into those tropes. Let's now do a tone shift to ominous. Not saying that this is like exactly how I would write a really like high quality story necessarily. I'm just again trying to show you guys off how this platform works. We'll add that in. So outdated equipment manuals, that's what he had lying around. And again, like, you could change any portion of this, you could adjust the story or any piece of this in any way you want, and the AI will adhere to it from the time that you're moving forward, which is cool. More than once he'd sifted through old files, contracts, anything that might unlock his father's history. But this tag, this was real solid. He flipped through digital folders with a zeal he hadn't felt in years. He clicked on a folder labeled Historical Personal Records and entered in a string of text, which obviously his father's initials were. Trail of work timelines that spanned decades and jumped across planets. Old correspondence titled Contract reassignment offer. And then we get to read an offer that was apparently given to his dad. Very cool. You know, it's just taking you down all these little nuances in the story. This is not writing like I've seen from ChatGPT. This is not writing like I've seen from typical chatbots. This is an AI designed to write fiction and it really shows. Anyways, there are right settings that we can mess with in here as well. So we can make it more creative or less creative if we want. We can also change how long these cards on the side are going to end up being. I think it's set to 150 words by default, but you can go to as little as 50 or 500 words. You can also change the number of cards in the. And by the way, whenever you're doing these AI generations, they obviously are going to use up a couple of credits. Now I do want to talk a little bit about this prose mode as well, because this is going to be the different modes that the AI uses to generate text. I've only used Muse. This is the best for general fiction. Apparently it's got great prose quality, decent instruction following, and it's very much unfiltered, but it costs like a mid ranged amount of credits. They've also got a excellent mode which uses Claude 3.7 sonnet as a base. Less good prose quality, similar instruction following, a little bit more unfiltered. But you know, if you prefer Claude three point Sonnet, this should be best for apparently long scenes. They've also got a more economical basic quality model that's pretty decent, but it uses GPT4O mini as a base. They've also got a bunch of experimental models that you can pick from which is really cool. They've got Gemini Pro in here, deepseek v3 and all. All these different Claude threes. Even a Goliath 120B in here. Some experimental and quirky models. But I really think that Muse here, this is their, their in house model designed for fiction. This is a great model and this is what I recommend using if you guys want to test out this website. Alright, let's actually delete the intro here. Let's you know, skip past some of the introductory pages here. Let's generate now some conversation between Paul and Zorpli. Paul's ship crashed on an unknown planet. He put his helmet on and stepped outside. Zorpli is going to try to speak some alien language to Paul. I believe in you. AI. Yes. Insert Zorplease. Eyestalks wriggled with curiosity. He was a bobular being, hovering slightly off the ground like a vibrant gelatinous balloon. Paul hesitated. The air shimmered with colors and sounds he couldn't quite name. Hi. He tried. The hover creature's body pulsed with an enthusiastic green. Speaks more alien. It pointed a wobbly appendage at Paul's ship. Right. That's my Zebr Boogent, Paul said. He touched his helmet. Wonder if his translator was broken or if he was just out of galactic range for coherence. Where am I? Sorply emitted a series of whistles that danced in the air like silver streamers. Paul blinked, gripping the reality of his unexpected surroundings. Amazing. So yeah, you really can guide the story in whatever direction you want simply by typing out some sort of a premise or some sort of dialogue that directs the AI in the direction you want to go and it will generate it for you. That's why I think this does have capability for uses other than fiction, especially if you change the model. Let's do a Squidward fan fiction. Squidward went out back to the rear of the Krusty Krab, only to find spongebob smoking kelp. Oh, spongebob, you did it again. Let us autocomplete this and see how it does with something more fun and fantastical. Right. Something just. Just for gets and shiggles. SpongeBob leaned against the dumpster, a smooth spiral of kelp dangling from his mouth. He let out a wispy puff and washes swirl up to the jellyfish nets hanging on the wall. Spongebob, what Neptune's ocean are you doing? Squidward's voice oscillated between genuine confusion and mild disdain. SpongeBob turned slowly, his typical wide eyes drooping in a serene satisfaction. Hey, Squidward, this is like the best way to chill after a gnarly lunch rush. Squidward tapped one of his tentacles against the side of his head. You realize inhaling that nonsense will probably turn your holes green, right? Spongebob took another slow drag, his cheeks narrowing then expanding like an air pump. Relaxation is key, Squiddy. You should join me. Good help with all that amazing. Oh, what the hell, why not? Said Squidward. Oh, let's see what the AI comes up with next. This is one of my classic things that I always love to do with, like the older GPT DaVinci completion models. Immediately, Squidward coughed up a sputtering sound like a clogged carrot. Oh, that's just delightful. He wheezed sarcastically. SpongeBob chuckled. First time's always a doozy. They settled into a rhythm, SpongeBob with his relaxed expertise, and Squidward slowly getting the hang of it. The blue kelp smoke curled upwards like underwater storm clouds. You know, Squidward mused, feeling an unfamiliar lightness in his usual knotted brain, Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea. Squidward. Yelled Mr. Krabs. Oh, now we're bringing Krabs into this? Mr. Krabs is initially upset, but tries the kelp, too. The whole Bikini bottom is going to get hooked on kelp, folks. What in tarnation do ye v think you're doing? Slackin behind me restaurant. So what if Squidward's kelp rolls fell to the floor with a soft plop? Mr. Krabs scuttled over. That better not be what I'm thinking it is, he grumbled, grabbing Squidward by an arm instead. Spongebob just Hands him some of the kelp. Krabs is about to have a bad time, so let's also try the describe mode. The interior of the rocket. We'll just put that description down. We'll highlight this and then we'll click on describe. You can see we can actually just highlight all of these and it will generate sight, smell, sound, taste, the whole nine yards. For whatever we highlighted, click Describe happens over here on the side, they have a metaphor here. The atmosphere was a mixture of sterile metal and nervous excitement, like the moments before a grand performance on a stage. The walls are smooth and cold to the touch, almost like touching ice. The floor is textured rubber floor is smooth and cool beneath my feet. As you run your hand along the walls of the rock, you feel the smoothness of the metal sound. Gentle hum of machinery and whirrs fill the air accompanied by low hum of engines. Taste of metal lingers on the tongue like sucking on a penny. The air tastes slightly stale. Scent of machinery and fuel lingers in the air mixed with a faint hint of sweat and a metallic tang. The interior is a maze of wires, switches and screens. Walls are sleek metal painted in shades of silver and gray. You can see it's very good at just like being descriptive, I can insert any of these at any moment. I want to describe these ship. Pretty awesome. Now I also want to get into the brainstorming aspect. This is where you can brainstorm pretty much anything you want, from dialogue to characters to places to objects. And these are basically all just list generators. Again, this is kind of the stuff that ChatGPT would typically be pretty good at. But it's all built right into the website, which is nice to see. Alien appliances for various alien needs you can see right off the bat. It gives you a nice little list. I like the way that it does it as well, where you can say yay or nay to them. Hyperspeed food processor that can turn raw ingredients into a fully cooked meal in seconds. Sure that's a good idea. And it will keep it on the side for you where you can save them. And it's all attached to your project, which is cool. So yeah, guys, there's a little taste of Sudowrite. I mean, it is pretty phenomenal. I'm really impressed by it. I love using it. I'm genuinely just gonna spend my time messing around with writing and using AI to help me do that. The AI additions just make it so much more fun to explore interesting avenues and interesting stories and all kinds of fun stuff. So I'm just A huge fan of it. Now, I will say Sudowrite is not super cheap. This is really for people who are serious about actually, you know, getting into writing and improving their writing using AI or improving their writing process using AI. It's expensive. It starts at 19 bucks a month here, and that's the one that I bought to give it a test run. And I've already used half of these credits, by the way, and that was in like two days, which is pretty crazy. But you can go up to way more credits with the most popular professional plan, and that is 30 bucks per month. And then they also have a 2 million credits per month at 60. And I assume this would be, you know, for the professional. Professional authors out there who do a ton of writing, they've also got yearly discounts. And honestly, I gotta say, if you are a writer or if you do a lot of writing, I think that the yearly plans here might actually be worth it. Typically when it comes to AI products, I say hold off for AI products because AI advances so quickly. There could be another product that comes out later that completely demolishes the current one we're looking at. But with Sudowrite, I don't think it's nearly the case because I haven't seen many products at all that are focused on specifically fiction writing or novel writing with AI. And I really think this tool is good enough in its current stage where it would be worth it to buy like a yearly plan if you are a writer, to vastly improve your writing process. See, I mean, it's in general, it's pretty expensive. You do get a decent discount with the yearly. If you're serious about writing though, you really can't go wrong with Sudo right here. They. They do it better than any other platform I've seen for AI assisted writing. It's magical. So, yeah, guys, Sudowrite is pretty awesome. Hopefully this video gave you guys a pretty decent idea of what the platform offers, whether or not it's right for you. I think if you enjoy writing at all, this is definitely gonna be something you want to try out. And yes, we're doing a giveaway. Nvidia has partnered with me to promote GTC and we're going to be giving an RTX 4080 super away. It's not this specific GPU. It's actually in that box back there. But you know, this is just like.
