# InkSmith

> InkSmith is an AI novel-writing platform that takes a book from one sentence to a publish-ready, KDP-formatted file. It is built specifically for long-form fiction, with cross-chapter memory (the "Gita" layer) so the story never forgets itself, and an AI-humanization pass ("Samskara") that strips the tells AI detectors look for.

InkSmith is operated for novelists and self-publishers. Unlike a general chatbot, it remembers characters, places, and plot threads across an entire manuscript and produces a finished, formatted book (PDF, EPUB, DOCX), not just loose passages. The work is performed by a cast of specialist AI agents called the Mandala.

## What makes InkSmith different
- Cross-chapter memory ("the Gita layer"): characters keep their voices and plot threads stay tracked across the whole book.
- Humanization pass ("Samskara"): removes twelve canonical AI tells before you read the prose.
- The Mandala: two sovereign agents (Chakravarti for market research, Lakshya for launch readiness) plus nine specialist "rishi" agents that outline, draft, refine, humanize, quality-check, remember, illustrate, and critique.
- Background generation: long jobs run server-side and don't time out.
- Output: a KDP-ready file plus a launch kit (price, keywords, categories, comparable titles).
- Pricing: free to start (100,000 tokens, no credit card); paid plans unlock export, covers, illustrations, and Deep Research. Bestseller is $79/mo (founder pricing $49/mo for the first 100 seats).
