Skarvia vs Sudowrite

One writes for you. One won't.

Sudowrite is built to generate prose — Story Engine, Write, Rewrite. Skarvia is built on the opposite promise: it never writes a word of your draft. If that line matters to you, this is the alternative that keeps it.

Both use AI. Only one hands you the pen back.
Skarvia's AI reads, checks, and remembers — it is structurally unable to write your prose.

Where Sudowrite fits

Sudowrite is a genuinely capable generation tool. If your goal is to have an AI draft, continue, or rewrite passages with you, that's what it's designed for — and it does it well.

The difference

Where Skarvia fits

Skarvia is for the writer who wants the words to stay theirs. Same AI horsepower, aimed at research, fact-checking, and continuity — never at the byline. The provenance ledger keeps it provable.

On staff

A fact-checker, not a co-author

Findings only — defect cards with evidence and citations, each vetted by a second reviewer that tries to refute it. It tells you what's wrong; it doesn't offer to fix it in its own words.

On staff

Continuity and a research desk

Catches the eye colour that changed between chapters, answers "how did this actually work" with citations, and keeps a story bible — the studio jobs around the writing.

Yours

Your cloud, your file

Your manuscript lives in your own storage in plain formats, readable anywhere, forever — no lock-in to read your own book.

Honest bottom line

If you want AI to write, Sudowrite is the right tool. If you want AI to do everything except write, that's the whole point of Skarvia.
