Frame 1.0 — The Writer's AI Studio
After two years of drafting, Frame 1.0 is here: a local-first AI co-writer, copy-editor, plot report, and Reader Lab for novelists.
We didn't set out to build a world where AI replaces writers. Quite the opposite. For the past two years, Frame Editorial has been focused on a single question — "How can AI become a writer's quiet companion?"
Frame does not write for you. It reads what you've written, offers the next scene cautiously when you pause, and flags contradictions in your setting before you notice — a co-writer, an editor, a companion on the desk.
What's new
- Co-writer · Context-aware AI that reads whole-manuscript summaries and the last three chapters
- Plot report · Tension curve and auto-detected structure across the whole manuscript
- Copy-editor · Beyond grammar — Show vs. Tell, repetition, POV drift, setting contradictions
- Reader Lab · Virtual reader feedback across 18 persona types before publishing
Why local-first
To a writer, a manuscript is a confidential document. Frame's first principle is: "Your manuscript stays on your computer." Every piece of writing is saved as a single local file on your disk, and cloud sync will be strictly opt-in when introduced. Delete your Frame account, let the company disappear — the manuscript remains yours.
A writer's tool should look like a writer's tool. And it should behave like one — listening, enduring, speaking only when it matters.

What comes next
This is just the beginning. Later in 2026 we're preparing multi-seat team workspaces, a more refined emotional-curve analysis, and multilingual writing support. Frame is a tool that grows with its writing community.
