Why we make you approve the outline first

Most AI writing tools race to output. You type a prompt, and seconds later a wall of text appears — finished, unchangeable, and usually not quite what you meant.

We took the opposite bet. Before xDocs drafts a single chapter, it proposes a structure and hands it back to you. You reorder, rename, cut, and add — and you see exactly what the draft will cost before committing a single credit.

The outline is the cheapest place to change your mind

A wrong turn in chapter two is expensive to fix after twelve chapters are written. At the outline stage it's a thirty-second edit. That's the whole idea.

What this looks like in practice

You pick a template and describe a brief. xDocs researches sources, drafts a chapter-by-chapter outline, and waits. Nothing is billed until you confirm it. From there, chapters draft live, streaming in one at a time, and if a chapter fails mid-draft, generation resumes from the last completed chapter — never from scratch.
