What it does
Instead of a fixed pipeline, it interleaves recursive decomposition with execution — breaking the piece into subtasks, mixing retrieval, reasoning and composition, and revising the plan mid-draft the way a person does. Evaluated on fiction and technical reports. Worth knowing before you adopt it: the authors describe the project as non-commercial and research-oriented despite the MIT text, long pieces mean many model round-trips and a bill to match, and nothing here checks whether the finished draft is true.
Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.

WriteHERE FAQ
- Is WriteHERE free?
- WriteHERE itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use WriteHERE?
- It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
- Does WriteHERE work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use WriteHERE commercially?
- We could not confirm this. The publisher does not state it clearly, so we have not verified whether what you make with it may be used commercially. Ask the publisher before relying on it.
