Continuity checking

An AI continuity checker that has read every chapter.

Slima's coach reads your whole book and flags contradictions — a character's eye colour, a changed backstory, a broken timeline — before your readers find them.

The problem

The contradictions hide across the whole book.

An AI continuity checker exists because a long manuscript holds more details than any one writer can keep straight. By chapter 30 the slip in chapter 4 is invisible — until a reader catches it for you.

👁️

Her eyes changed colour

Grey in chapter 2, green in chapter 12. The kind of plot hole a one-star review is built on.

🧩

A backstory that no longer fits

Chapter 21 says he grew up at sea. Chapter 5 said he never left the valley. One of them has to go.

🕰️

A timeline that doesn't add up

The storm lands on Tuesday, but the funeral two days later is "the same week's Friday." The maths breaks.

👤

A side character who vanishes

Wren is central for seven chapters, gone for twenty, then back as if no time passed. Where did she go?

How it works

It cross-references the whole book, then flags what conflicts.

The coach has read your entire manuscript, so it doesn't check one chapter at a time. It holds the whole story bible at once — every name, date, eye colour and plot thread — and when two passages disagree, it flags the contradiction and shows you both. It never silently rewrites your book; you stay the author.

  • Whole-book cross-referencing, run automatically
  • Each flag links to both conflicting passages
  • It flags, you decide — no silent edits to your prose

What it catches

Character details that drift between chapters — eye colour, age, a name's spelling. Backstories that contradict an earlier scene. Timelines and dates that don't line up. Plot threads left dangling and side characters who disappear and reappear wrong.

More than a checker

Continuity is one part of the coach.

The same coach that catches contradictions also keeps your drafts and reads for you. One studio holds the whole book.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

How does the AI continuity checker work?–

Slima's coach has read your entire manuscript, so it cross-references the whole book at once. When a detail in one chapter contradicts another — a name, a date, an eye colour, a backstory — it flags the conflict and points you to both passages. It checks manuscript consistency automatically; it never silently rewrites your book.

Does it read my whole book?+

Yes. The coach reads every chapter, not just the page you are on. That whole-book view is what lets it catch plot holes and contradictions that span dozens of chapters, the kind a single read-through tends to miss.

Will it change my writing?+

No. The continuity checker flags issues — it does not rewrite your prose. You see each contradiction, both passages, and a short note on why they conflict. What you do about it is entirely your decision.

Is my manuscript private?+

Yes. Your work is private and is never used to train models. Your book stays yours.

Catch the contradictions before your readers do.

Open the studio and let a coach that has read every chapter watch your continuity. Free to start, private by default. Built for novelists; see pricing.
