AI That Refuses to Break Your Work.

Most AI rewrites your book mid-chapter. Invents scripture. Fabricates stats. You stop writing and start fact-checking.

OpusDraft enforces your rules, your facts, your sources — what we call your canon — on every AI action. For books. For sermons. For pitches. For anything long-form that has to stay true.

✓3-day free trial. No credit card.

The first AI writing platform where AI enforces your rules — not its training data.

Real Output Comparison

See the Difference

Same content. Same AI model. Only one refuses to break your work.

Without OpusDraft

Sarah → Sara mid-chapter. Nobody notices until your copyeditor does.

Invented Bible verses attributed to “John 3:17.” A verse that doesn't exist.

“Expand” adds 400 words of generic filler nobody asked for.

Your villain's backstory contradicts Chapter 3. AI doesn't notice.

With OpusDraft

Canon locked. Names, traits, timelines enforced on every action.

Scripture verified. Every verse checked against the translation you chose.

Expand adds 1–2 sensory details. Controlled. Precise. No bloat.

Contradiction? You see this instead:

CANON VIOLATION:Your protagonist crossed the river in Chapter 5. Your canon says “no character has ever crossed the river.” Rewrite requested.

The AI stops. You decide.

Three Things You Won’t Find in Other Writing Tools

The hook

Canon Scan

Point it at chapters you’ve already written. It extracts characters, places, dates, references, and seeds your canon database for you. Incremental — subsequent scans only read what changed. You stop maintaining the canon by hand; OpusDraft maintains it for you.

The core

Canon Enforcement

Lock your characters, locations, timelines, world rules — any fact you don’t want broken. Every AI action is checked against them. Violations are blocked with a named, readable error telling you exactly which rule would have broken and why. No prompt engineering. No reminders. The AI simply refuses.

The workflow

Select-in-Place Editing

Highlight any passage. Click a tool. The AI rewrites right there, in your chapter. You see the original and the new version side-by-side with Accept / Reject buttons. No chat window. No copy-paste dance. Works with Improve, Generate, and the tools you trigger from Agent Mode — every chapter, every section.

Plus the full toolkit

Anti-Fabrication

Scripture, stats, and quotes are verified against the sources you provide. No invented verses. No made-up numbers. Primarily for speakers and researchers.

Rule Packs

Define voice, tone, pacing, structure. These aren't suggestions — they're enforced on every AI action.

Five AI Surfaces

Improve (with four intent variations), Generate, Full Polish, Agent Mode (Preview), and Ask AI. Every surface runs through your canon, rule packs, and style guide before touching your text. Output streams live.

Canon & Rules Peek

Slide-out panels inside the editor — browse your canon and your rule packs without leaving the chapter. No navigation break.

Style Guide Injection

Describe how you write — POV, tense, rhythm, tag preference — once. Every AI tool reads it on every call. The AI sounds like you, not like ChatGPT.

Publish & Share

Toggle a chapter public and share it with beta readers, agents, or the world. Clean read-page with your byline. Unpublish to make private again.

Beyond Books

Not Just Books.

The same engine that locks a novel’s canon locks a sermon’s scripture, a keynote’s message, and a pitch’s numbers.

Manuscript Importer

Already have a finished sermon? Upload it. OpusDraft splits it into sections AND auto-classifies each one — Big Idea, Main Point, Application, Close — reading both your section titles and the opening body prose. Catches “Big Idea:” even when the heading is generic. Review every tag before commit; override anything that looks wrong.

Browseable Template Library

Sermon (3-point), Expository, Narrative, Keynote, Pitch Deck, Workshop, Academic Lecture, and more. Browse the whole shelf — preview structures, read descriptions, pick what fits. You’re not locked into one format.

Scripture & Source Verification

Paste the translation you’re using. The AI refuses to invent verses, miscite references, or hallucinate statistics. Every attribution tracked on export.

Stage-Ready Exports

Same draft, every surface: PDF manuscript, timed speaker notes (130 wpm), scrolling teleprompter, 2-up printable outline cards, slide bullets. For the pulpit. For the stage. For the boardroom.

Pastors. Keynote speakers. Founders. Consultants. Teachers. Anyone whose words have to be right the first time.

Built for People Who Ship Real Work

Not for people who want AI to do their thinking. For people who want AI to respect it.

Full OpusSmith-tier access for three days — Improve (in all four intent modes), Generate, and Ask AI — on our key, on us. 50 calls per 24-hour window. Stop there and you owe nothing. Continue and your writing, canon, chapters, and rules all stay.

You Own Your AI Costs

We don't mark up AI. OpusDraft is BYOK on every paid tier — you pay Anthropic directly for the tokens you use (typically $2–10/month for a steady writer). We never see your tokens, never bill your AI usage, and never raise your AI prices.


“

Helping AI follow the work instead of fighting it.

I built OpusDraft because I was tired of fixing AI mistakes — invented Bible verses in my sermon drafts, characters changing eye color between chapters, prose that sounded like everyone else’s prose. Most AI writing tools are trained to produce something. OpusDraft is trained to follow what’s already there. The canon you’ve built. The rules you’ve set. The voice you’ve found. The work is the source of truth. The AI follows it.
