Getting started

Ask your AI about Scriptava

Not sure yet? Give your AI our guide and ask it anything, such as whether Scriptava suits your book.

What you need

• A Scriptava account. Start free, with no card needed.
• An AI app that can add a custom connector. Claude can on every plan, including Free, which allows one custom connector. In ChatGPT it depends on your plan, so check OpenAI’s help pages.
• The Scriptava link below. You paste it into your AI app once.

Connect Claude

1. In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors.
2. Choose Add, then Add custom connector.
3. Name it Scriptava, paste the link above and choose Continue.
4. Sign in to Scriptava when asked, and choose Allow.
5. Start a chat and say: “Let’s start a new book.”

Claude’s menus change from time to time. If these steps do not match, see Anthropic’s guide to custom connectors.

Connect ChatGPT

1. In ChatGPT, open Settings, then Apps and connectors.
2. Under Advanced settings, turn on developer mode.
3. Create a new connector, name it Scriptava and paste the link above.
4. Sign in to Scriptava when asked, and choose Allow.
5. In a new chat, add Scriptava from the + menu and say: “Let’s start a new book.”

OpenAI moves these settings between versions, and not every ChatGPT plan can add custom connectors. If you cannot find them, OpenAI’s help pages have the current steps.

Other AI apps

Any app that supports remote MCP connectors can use Scriptava. Add the link above as a connector, and sign in when it asks.

Start your first book

1. Tell your AI about the idea. It asks questions and helps you shape the plan, then saves it to Scriptava.
2. Look over the plan and the chapter map in the app, and change anything you like.
3. Ask: “Plan chapter 1.” Approve the chapter plan, or send it back with notes.
4. Ask: “Write chapter 1.” Your AI drafts it, and the reviews run.
5. Read the chapter in the app and make it yours.

Bring a book you have started

Open the book in the app and choose Import from Word. Headings in the document become chapters, and chapters already in the book are kept. Then ask your AI to read the book and fill in the characters, timeline and plot threads.

Run the reviews

Reviews run when your AI writes a chapter. To run them again, open the chapter, choose Gates and queue the ones you want, then ask your AI to run the queued reviews. What each review found and fixed appears in the chapter’s report.

Export your book

Open Export in the app, run the checks, then choose Word or EPUB. Each export is kept, so you can download the same file again later.

Remove your AI’s access

Open API keys in the app to see every AI app connected to your account, and remove any of them. You can also remove the connector in Claude or ChatGPT.
