Plan your story. Keep it yours. WriCo (Writer Copilot) is a native story planner for novelists, screenwriters, narrative designers, and worldbuilders. Bring characters, locations, story objects, plots, episodes, scenes, notes, timelines, and storyboards into one calm workspace, and see how every part connects. Whether you outline everything first or discover the story as you write, WriCo builds structure without stifling creativity. BUILD YOUR STORY Character Development Profiles with goals, motivations, flaws, backstories, relationships, and evolving arcs. Track appearances, points of view, and cast balance. Plot and Scene Planning Organize acts, plots, subplots, episodes, and scenes. Give every scene a goal, conflict, outcome, decision, reveal, point of view, location, timeline, and cast. Reorder as the story evolves. Worldbuilding and Notes Keep locations, world rules, lore, and research in one searchable workspace, organized with groups, tags, and links. Visual Storyboarding Plan scenes shot by shot with action, dialogue, camera notes, composition, lighting, and images. Review in playback mode or export as a PDF. Relationship Maps Visualize character relationships and how plots, scenes, and story branches connect. UNDERSTAND YOUR STORY Ask Your Story Ask questions in your own words and get answers grounded in your project, with the passages they came from. Choose a quick answer, or a deeper analysis for questions needing evidence from across your story. Coherence Analysis Review your project for contradictions, timeline problems, weak motivations, unresolved conflicts, and promises that never pay off. WriCo surfaces observations. You remain in control of every creative decision. Story Statistics Follow character presence, point-of-view balance, scene distribution, pacing, and tension.
