I really like the way this is framed. I don't like the fact that AI is the one writing the novel, but honestly, who cares as long as the novel is good.

What I would really like is a fiction writing tool that helps me brainstorm and research as I'm writing specific topics. for example I would write certain things I would click on it highlight and say go do research it'll go do research on that particular line come back to me and then present me with the analysis and also how I should reframe that line I think that in my opinion is going to be super helpful I wish somebody would build a tool for that.

A few others have commented about that. But I think there are tools that already, right? From my limited search.

If you mean command line tui tools then yeah maybe that is a niche
