Pro mode

Your first book is a starting point, not the last word. Pro lets you shape your own book with a clean editor and Ask Duncan, while keeping its friendly Damn I'm Dumb voice.

  • Edit your book

    Refine words, save private drafts, compare versions and publish when you're ready.

  • Ask Duncan

    Ask for clearer explanations, useful examples or a fresh take on a selected passage.

  • Pictures and diagrams

    Create or replace visuals with safe prompts and diagram types that fit your book.

  • Bring your research

    Add up to 3 PDF, Word, Markdown or text files, 5 MB each, for Duncan to read into research notes.

Choose one-book Pro for a single project, or monthly Pro for your books across your account with credits refreshed each month. One AI credit balance covers Duncan edits, extra research, pictures and diagrams. Editing requires a desktop computer, and every published change must pass our safety checks.
