# DocWriter Overview

DocWriter is a local writing app where you and an AI agent work alongside each other in the same draft. Write while the agent researches, comments, or proposes changes. Review agent work beside the text, then accept, reject, or respond.

DocWriter reimagines AI-assisted writing to let you:

* Keep more of your voice and reduce AI slop.
* Work alongside the agent in the same live draft, at the same time.
* Dynamically reconfigure agency as the writing process changes.

## What you can do

* **Save writing rules and source material.** The agent can follow the same instructions and examples on later requests.
* **Use your project files as context.** Open a project folder so the agent can use drafts, notes, sources, images, PDFs, and other files while it works.
* **Review work beside the text.** You review comments and proposed changes beside the relevant passage, and you can accept, reject, or respond without leaving the document.
* **Set up repeated work.** You can save instructions as skills, add agents that review for a specific concern, and run a shell command after an event such as accepting an edit.
