# Welcome to Quarkle
> Your AI writing partner for finishing the book. Write faster, edit sharper, keep your voice.
Quarkle is a writing studio built for authors. You write. Quarkle reads along beside you. It brainstorms in chat, leaves margin notes like a room full of editors, and keeps a living Story Atlas of your characters and world. It never touches your voice unless you ask.
Quarkle is intentionally built to **minimise AI writing and maximise AI critique**. The words on the page stay yours. Read more in [our mission](/about/mission).
## New here? Take the quickstart
These docs read like a short course. Each page ends with a **Next** link, so you can start at the top and work straight through. If you only read one page, read this one:
Sign in to your first edited page in about ten minutes.
Your home base. Find manuscripts, start a new one, and track your writing life.
Start a fresh draft, open an existing one, and understand shared manuscripts.
Bring in a draft, or export to PDF, Word, Markdown, or plain text.
Track streaks and set writing goals.
## Get comfortable in the Editor
The three panels: your chapters, your manuscript, and the Creative Companion.
Formatting, fonts, page layout, and images for every session.
Highlight a sentence and expand, tighten, or restructure it inline.
Automatic checkpoints and non-destructive restore, per chapter.
## Write with the Creative Companion
Tools for brainstorming, critique, reports, and keeping track of your story.
Brainstorm, ask questions, and get inline edit suggestions from an agent that has read your book.
A room of AI editors leaves sentence-level comments, each with a suggested rewrite.
A bird's-eye read of a chapter or the whole book.
A living record of your characters, world, and summaries, kept up to date for you.
## Curious how it works?
Which models Quarkle uses, what context the AI actually sees, and how the Review Room, Chat, and Story Atlas work behind the scenes.
Track streaks and set writing goals for the year.
What's in Basic, what Pro unlocks, and how usage works.
