I’ve recently been writing fiction and using an AI as a critic/editor to help me tighten things up (as I’m not a particularly skilled prose writer myself). Currently the two ways I’ve been trying are just writing text in a basic editor and then either saving files to add to a hosted LLM or copy pasting into a local one. Or using pycharm and AI integration plugins for it.

Neither is particularly satisfactory and I’m wondering if anyone knows of a good setup for this (preferably open source but not neccesary), integration with at least one of ollama or open-router would be needed.

Edit: Thanks for the recommendations everyone, lots of things for me to check out when I get the time!

    There are actually a few solid AI-assisted text editors out there now, and it really depends on how “hands-on” you want the AI to be. I’ve been experimenting with different tools, and I used Clever Humanizer Paraphrase Tool https://cleverhumanizer.ai/paraphrase-tool while refining longer articles in a simple writing editor. It helped me rephrase clunky sentences without changing the meaning, which made my drafts much smoother. I’d recommend pairing a clean editor with a lightweight AI tool rather than relying on one heavy platform.
