AI Suggestions & Extraction
Wonderthrough reads what you’ve written and shows you what it implies — the characters who appear, the places they go, the threads running underneath. It surfaces these as suggestions you can accept or reject. The important part: the AI never writes your prose for you. It reads your manuscript and proposes structure; you decide what’s real.
Finding entities in your manuscript
Section titled “Finding entities in your manuscript”As your draft grows, the same names start to recur — people, places, organizations, objects. Wonderthrough can scan your manuscript and pull those out into a list of proposed entities, so you don’t have to build your cast and world by hand.
You run this yourself when you want it, from the World Overview. The button tells you where things stand — whether you’ve never scanned, whether new scenes have changed since last time, or whether you’re re-scanning from scratch. The scan reads your prose and proposes entities it found there. It’s reading, not inventing: every candidate comes from a name that already appears in your writing.
Reviewing what the scan found
Section titled “Reviewing what the scan found”The results open as a triage list, grouped by kind — people, locations, organizations, and so on. Each row shows the proposed name, how many times it appears, and signals like whether the character speaks in a scene. You can expand a row to see the actual excerpts from your manuscript where the name turns up, so you can judge it in context. If Wonderthrough thinks a candidate matches an entity you already have, it tells you and offers to link them instead of creating a duplicate.
For each candidate you choose what happens:
- Make character or Accept creates a full entity you can develop further.
- Add basic entry creates a lightweight reference for something you want to track but not flesh out yet.
- Link connects the candidate to an existing entity when it’s the same thing under a different mention.
- Reject dismisses a candidate so it won’t be proposed again this run.
Accepted candidates are marked done; rejected ones are crossed out but left visible for reference. Nothing is created until you say so. Once you’ve sorted the people and places, you can optionally have Wonderthrough propose relationships between them or draft short descriptions — again, sourced from your manuscript, and again yours to accept or reject.
AI suggestion cards and findings
Section titled “AI suggestion cards and findings”The chat surfaces and the deeper analysis tools work the same way: they hand you suggestions, not edits. When the AI notices something — a character it detected in a scene, a recurring conflict, a proposed profile detail — it presents it as a card or finding with the evidence behind it.
Every finding gives you the same kind of choice:
- Accept folds the suggestion into your project — attaching or creating the entity, adding the item to a list, or filling in a field.
- Dismiss hides a finding for now without affecting anything.
- Reject permanently removes it from future results, so the AI stops surfacing it.
Some findings also offer extra moves, like saving a note, tracking a thread, or marking something as important so the AI remembers it. You’re always the one deciding what lands in your project and what doesn’t.
”But does the AI write my book?”
Section titled “”But does the AI write my book?””No — and this is on purpose. Extraction and suggestions only ever describe your manuscript back to you and propose structure around it. Accepting a finding might create a character or fill in a field, but it never rewrites a sentence of your prose.
The one place Wonderthrough offers help with the words themselves is the editorial writing assist: you can select a passage and ask it to tighten a line, sharpen dialogue, shift the tone, or fix grammar. Even then, nothing changes until you choose to apply a suggestion — it shows you the original and the proposal side by side and waits for your click. Wonderthrough is built to read your writing and show you what your story is doing, not to write it for you.
