AI is a tool inside the workshop, not the author.
Inkloom uses AI to assist, not to replace. It drafts from your structured decisions, proposes revisions as diffs, and records exactly what context shaped each output. You decide what stays. You remain the author.
Six ways AI assists inside Inkloom.
Each one is grounded in your structured data. Each one produces a reviewable output. None of them act without you.
Drafts from structured briefs
AI generates chapter drafts from the chapter brief, the relevant canon, and your voice rules. Not from a blank prompt. The structured context grounds the output in decisions you already made.
Proposes revisions
When you ask AI to revise a passage, it returns a diff. You see the original and the revision side by side. You accept or reject. Your text is never overwritten.
Extracts facts for continuity
After you approve a chapter, AI proposes facts to extract: characters, world rules, promises, open loops. Each proposed fact has a confidence score and a source passage. You confirm or reject.
Detects voice patterns
Voice Pass uses AI to scan for formulaic patterns: repetitive openings, slogan overload, unearned profundity, manufactured contrasts. Each finding names the rule that triggered it.
Generates cover concepts
Cover Studio produces cover concepts from your book identity: title, genre, tone, and key visual themes. You pick the concept and adjust from there.
Drafts KDP keywords and A+ content
AI proposes keywords for your seven KDP slots and drafts A+ content modules from your manuscript. You edit everything before it goes anywhere.
The lines AI does not cross.
These are not settings you have to configure. They are how Inkloom is built.
Decide what your book is about
You define the Concept and Blueprint. AI can suggest fields, but you approve every one.
Silently overwrite your text
Every AI change is a diff you review. Nothing is applied without your explicit acceptance.
Resolve continuity conflicts
When two facts conflict, AI surfaces the conflict as a card. You pick the canonical version or mark the difference as intentional.
Choose your voice
You define your Voice Profile and Project Rules. AI works within them. It does not set them.
Publish anything
Export and KDP submission are always manual. AI never sends your book to a store.
Work without your say-so
AI features are opt-in. Without an API key, they stay dormant. With Privacy Lock on, they stay local.
What remains with you, always.
AI proposes. You decide. These decisions are never delegated to a model.
- What the book is: title, type, audience, tone, length
- What each chapter must accomplish: the operational brief
- What is canon and what is not: which facts are binding
- How conflicts are resolved: which version wins, or whether the difference is intentional
- How you sound: your Voice Profile and Project Rules
- Which AI proposals to accept and which to reject
- Which model to use for each task, or whether to use AI at all
- When the book is finished and ready to export
The context behind every generation.
When AI generates, it receives only the context it needs. Not your whole manuscript. Not a giant prompt. The relevant structured layers for the task at hand.
A generation request includes
- The chapter brief for the chapter being drafted or revised
- Relevant canon: characters, world rules, promises, and open loops tied to the current context
- Your voice rules and project rules, so the output respects how you sound
- The specific passage being revised, if you selected one
- Your API key, sent only to your provider for authentication
Important: Nothing is sent unless you trigger a generation. If Privacy Lock is on, nothing is sent even then. If no API key is stored, nothing is sent at all.
Know what your AI knew.
Every AI-made version in a chapter's History carries a Trace button. One click shows exactly what Inkloom sent to the model.
- The model that was used for that version
- The prompt template and its version number
- The timestamp of generation
- Every context item included: whether it was always included or retrieved by relevance
- The exact text the model received, so you can verify what shaped the output
Different tasks, different models.
Inkloom lets you assign different models to different layers of work. You are not locked into one model for everything.
Planning models
Used for Concept, Blueprint, and Outline generation. These benefit from strong reasoning. You can assign a larger, more capable model here.
Drafting models
Used for chapter drafting and revision. These benefit from long context and strong prose. You can assign a model tuned for creative writing.
Image models
Used for cover concepts in Cover Studio. You can assign a dedicated image generation model separate from your text models.
You configure models in Settings. Pick from any model your OpenRouter account supports. Change them anytime. A strong reasoning model for planning, a long-context model for drafting, and a dedicated image model for covers. You decide what fits your budget and your book.
What happens without an API key.
Inkloom is a complete writing environment with or without AI. Here is what works when AI is off.
Inkloom proposes. You decide.
Every AI change arrives as a reviewable diff. Your text is never overwritten. You remain the author.
Your book is bigger than a prompt.
Give it a memory.
Inkloom helps you plan, write, remember, check, polish, typeset, cover, and publish a coherent book from one integrated local-first environment.
