When you first sign up for Sudowrite you’re dropped into a product tour that offers a walkthrough of some core features. If it’s a been a while, or you just want a refresher, you can always take that tour again. To do so, just click on the gear icon (⚙️) up in the top right to access your Account Settings.
Once you’ve expanded your Account Settings, just click "Start Tour” for the walkthrough.
The upper right corner of Sudowrite when you’re in a project. The gear icon is your Account Settings.
Getting Started with Sudowrite
A video overview of Sudowrite’s interface and tools, to help you get started fast.
Sudowrite’s main writing interface is divided into 3 component parts.
In the left column you have the Project’s Document organization. The primary writing area comprises the middle section. Finally, to the right is the information section and where responses from Sudowrite’s AI tools and Plugins will appear as Cards. (Note that before you get started, that area is populated by a few pro tips.)

On login, you’re dropped into Sudowrite’s homepage. That’s where you’ll find all of your projects. Click into any project to enter the editor (as depicted above), where you’ll find your document(s) listed along the left. You can Add New documents or Import your existing work here in the left nav—in either case, those individual docs will be listed there.
Meanwhile, each of Sudowrite’s AI functions (highlighted below) outputs results as Cards, which appear in the History bar on the right side of the text editor.
Most Sudowrite features will place your responses into a Card on the right side of the screen. (First Draft and Shrink Ray do not, however.)
Sudowrite’s main interface places the AI responses from Sudowrite’s AI features into cards on the right side of the screen. You can click on the cards to expand the stacks, or click again to collapse them.
Click anywhere on the white card to collapse the response, and click again to expand it and view the full context of the prompt and response. The top of every card pile will have the Prompt in italics: this is what Sudowrite took into consideration in order to generate the cards. It also will name the feature you used. In the example below, it was Write.
The prompt that Sudowrite considered is always in italics above the Cards.
