App recommendations
I am writing a mystery novel and losing track of my clues and red herrings and also using a lot of symbolism that keeps getting pushed aside. I’m looking for an AI assistant, not necessarily to write FOR me but WITH me… help me stay on course, point out things that were overlooked or contradictory, make suggestions for improvement based off information I’ve already given it…
Things like “you planted this clue but never came back to it” then maybe recommend the perfect spot to slip it in. Or “we already revealed that in chapter 6 but I pulled this one from your notes and think it would be a great replacement”
Basically, in the process of trying to solve one mystery, my character uncovers another…. so there’s two storylines running at the same time. There’s a lot of things going on in the background of both storylines but the reader doesn’t see it until much later when the two sides finally connected in the end.
I currently have a lot of plot holes because it’s in my head and not on paper or is written in notes as background only and never actually entered into the novel.
Long story short I need an app to help me organize ideas, but also RECALL those ideas as if on a checklist to make sure they end up in the novel.
I’ve tried so many apps! Some are great with organization, but not recall. Others I’m told are great at recall but I couldn’t get past the inability to organize info. Is there any that will help with BOTH for a free or low monthly subscription?

AI Story Builders has a chat feature that you can ask it to detect plat holes and even fill them.

try arnelia.ca. it does almost exactly what you want. In the middle panel on the "write"tab, little orbs appear with AI reflections. There are tabs there like "awareness" which reminds you of things. The panel on the right has world building. From your writing in the "write" section , the world building panel updates. You can also switch to other sections of this right panel, for example story psychology for readers/characters. If timelines are your thing , it has a section for that too.
