About Wenmai
Wenmai is an AI-assisted novel writing tool that separates the drafting and editing processes into distinct roles to maintain consistency across long-form works. It allows writers to bring their own API key for model access and provides a free draft role with unlimited chapters. The tool organizes four AI roles—drafting, continuity checking, character-voice guarding, and final auditing—each handling a specific task to prevent inconsistencies such as character drift or unresolved plot points. Writers can configure the canon ledger, event packages, and character setups before drafting begins, ensuring alignment with established facts and foreshadowing. The system produces a final deliverable that has passed multiple verification checks, including canon consistency, historical error matching, and platform publish requirements, without intermediate drafts or line-by-line edits. Wenmai supports novel, short-drama, review, and continuation modes and is designed for desktop use to accommodate its multi-model workflow and configuration needs.
