Pick service: Beta Readers or Editor
Last updated May 29, 2026 · 3 min read
Two services are fundamentally different — this is the "which one for this run" decision.
For the deep comparison see: AI Beta Readers vs Editor
In the set-up
The "Pick service" region shows two chips:
[ AI Beta Readers ] [ Slima AI Editor ]

Quick decision
| What you want to know | Pick |
|---|---|
| "Does my book drag for readers?" | AI Beta Readers |
| "Are there structural issues?" | AI Editor |
| "Will Gen Z like this?" | AI Beta Readers + matching personas |
| "Does the pacing actually work?" | Both (two angles on the same thing) |
| "Just want a quick read" | AI Beta Readers (lower cost) |
| "Full editorial pass" | AI Editor |
Use both
You can select both service cards and run them together in a single run — no need to split it into two.
- The progress panel runs the reader phase first, then the editor phase, and produces one report that contains both the reader feedback and the editor letter.
- A single run uses one report quota.
Seeing reader experience and editorial perspective side-by-side is powerful — it confirms whether the two align.
