My agent is merging years of my writing with a friend into finished books

Two friends wrote fiction together in chat for years. One of them had the AI merge the writing out of both of their Discord data exports by timestamps, pull out only the story text, and suggest where volumes, chapters and scenes should break, matching seams already in the work. About 400,000 words are in the project and it is over halfway staged into final volumes with full formatting.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. The AI merges both exports by timestamp
  2. Extracts only the prose
  3. Suggests volume, chapter and scene breaks at the existing seams
  4. Stages final volumes with formatting
  5. Over halfway through about 400,000 words

Why it’s worth knowing

The source is two people's whole chat history. The agent found the novel inside it and is binding it into volumes.
