STILL YOUR STORY
Paste a passage that reads flat. It opens in Muses with the AI’s rewrites right below your own paragraphs. Keep yours or accept the rewrite, one at a time.
A sample story in three steps: a rewrite under each paragraph, a second take to compare, and a line reworked after the AI reads an earlier chapter. The buttons work, so accept, reject and switch takes yourself.
Chapter to Rewrite
Ines walked into the kitchen and saw her brother at the table. She was very surprised, because he had been gone for six years.
Ines stopped in the kitchen doorway. Her brother was sitting at the table, in the chair no one had used for six years.
“You came back,” she said angrily. “I did,” he said sadly.
“You came back,” she said. He gave his cup a quarter turn on the table. “I did.”
Rewrite each paragraph of this chapter in place, one edit per paragraph, so I can compare. Keep what happens, the names, the tense, the point of view and my voice. It reads flat: tighten it and sharpen the dialogue. No need to ask first.
I cut the adverbs and let the doorway show her surprise.
Chapter to Rewrite
Ines stopped in the kitchen doorway. Her brother was sitting at the table, in the chair no one had used for six years.
“You came back,” she said angrily. “I did,” he said sadly.
“You came back,” she said. He gave his cup a quarter turn on the table. “I did.”
The second paragraph: she sounds calm now. Ines is furious, she just never raises her voice. Try that one again.
Here’s a second take, with her anger in what she does. Use the arrows above the rewrite to switch between 1 and 2, then accept the one that sounds like her.
Chapter to Rewrite
Ines stopped in the kitchen doorway. Her brother was sitting at the table, in the chair no one had used for six years.
“You came back.” Ines set her grocery bag down as if it held glass. “I did,” he said, to the table.
She filled the kettle, because it gave her hands something to do.
“I wrote you letters,” Abel said. “I wrote a lot of them, but I never sent them, because I was ashamed and I did not know what to say.”
“I wrote you letters,” Abel said. “A drawer full. I never…” He watched the kettle instead.
Rewrite Abel’s line about the letters. Read The Crossing first and check how he talks to her.
In The Crossing, Abel trails off whenever he gets near an apology, so I stopped this line short too.
The story here was written for this demo, and the screens are modeled on the current Muses editor. Ask the AI the same thing twice and its wording will differ.
Whatever the AI comes back with, your paragraph stays where it is until you decide. Accept a rewrite and it replaces your paragraph, right there in the chapter. Reject it and the paragraph reads exactly as you wrote it.
Tell the AI what you’re after, as briefly as you like: “shorter,” “darker,” “fewer adverbs,” “put it in first person.” Each new rewrite comes back the same way, yours to accept or reject. When one is a word away from right, type into the new paragraph and fix it yourself before you accept.
Accepted a rewrite and had second thoughts? Once the last one is decided, an Undo button appears for a few seconds and puts the chapter back as it was before the rewrites. After that, Version History keeps each set of accepted rewrites as an “AI edit,” and “Show auto versions” lists the chapter’s earlier saves. Restore the one you want.
Paste a passage into the box above, then sign in or create an account. Muses opens it as a chapter in a new story project, and the chat beside it starts with a rewrite request. The AI reads the chapter, and each paragraph it rewrites appears right below your own, with the changes highlighted. Accept or reject each one by itself, or all of them together with Accept All or Reject All. Then tell the AI what to try next.
Only where you accept a change. The request that opens your chat asks the AI to tighten the writing and sharpen the dialogue while keeping what happens, the names, the tense, the point of view and your voice. Read each rewrite against your own paragraph, keep the ones that still sound like you and reject the rest. You can also tell it what to protect: “keep my short sentences,” “leave the last line alone.”
Reject it, and your paragraph stays as you wrote it. Or ask for another: before you accept or reject, tell the AI what’s wrong, like “too flowery” or “he gives in too fast,” and both takes are kept. A small 1 / 2 with arrows appears above the rewrite. The first take stays on screen until you click the arrow, and you can flip back and forth to compare. Accept keeps whichever take is showing. Reject drops both and leaves your paragraph as it was.
Yes, both. Before you accept a rewrite, click into the new paragraph and reword it. It’s saved the way you left it. If you accepted any, an Undo button appears once you’ve decided on the last rewrite. It stays for a few seconds, or until you start typing, and puts the chapter back as it was before the rewrites. Later, Version History in the editor’s menu keeps accepted rewrites as “AI edit” versions, and “Show auto versions” lists earlier saves. Restore the one you want.
Ask for it in the chat beside your chapter, in your own words. A request can be as short as “colder,” “quieter,” “try this scene in first person” or “less explaining, more dread.” To aim at one spot, select the lines in your chapter first, and they go to the AI with your next message. Whatever it changes comes back the same way, as a rewrite for you to accept or reject.
A paragraph or two, enough to see how a rewrite reads against your own. Every line break starts a new paragraph in the chapter, as plain text, and you accept or reject rewrites one paragraph at a time. After you sign in, the rest of the scene can go into the chapter too. For earlier chapters, hover over your project’s card on the Muses home page, open its three-dot menu and choose Import into This Project, then add a folder or a ZIP archive of DOCX, TXT or Markdown files.
Yes, once the rest is in the same project. The AI starts with the full text of the chapter you’re working in, and it can open your other chapters and notes when a change depends on them. To point it at one, type @ in the chat and pick a chapter, or name it in your request: “read The Crossing first and check how Abel talks.”
Yes. You need an account to see the rewrite. Once you submit your passage, you’ll be asked to sign in or create one. The free plan comes with a monthly AI allowance, which rewrites draw on, and paid plans come with more. The Pricing page lists what each plan includes.
You do. Under Muses’ terms, you keep ownership of the content you create, and AI-generated content belongs to you. Muses does not use your content or your conversations to train AI models.

Paste it into the box above and sign in. Your paragraph stays as it is, and only the rewrites you accept become part of your story.
