memory mode: AI that writes like you

16 min
16 min read

the problem: all AI writing assistants sound the same. corporate. polished. generic.

the solution: AI that learns YOUR unique voice.


how it works

NovaWriter's Memory Mode passively analyzes your writing as you work:

  1. analyze style - sentence structure, vocabulary, common phrases, punctuation
  2. collect samples - after ~10,000 words, you have enough data
  3. create model - generates custom Ollama modelfile with your style
  4. personalized AI - suggestions now sound like you

all local. all private. takes 30 seconds.


example

your writing:

"shipped the MVP last week. users love it. gonna iterate based on feedback."

generic AI (ChatGPT):

"We successfully launched the minimum viable product. User reception has been overwhelmingly positive. We will now implement improvements based on customer feedback."

your AI (Memory Mode):

"shipped the MVP last week. users love it. gonna iterate based on feedback and push v1.1 next sprint."

same meaning. YOUR voice.


under the hood

when you hit 10k words, NovaWriter creates a custom Ollama modelfile:

FROM phi3:mini

SYSTEM You write like this:
- avg sentence length: 12 words
- formality: 0.3 (casual)
- common phrases: "gonna", "shipped", "tbh"
- avoids: exclamation marks, corporate jargon

EXAMPLES:
[your actual writing samples]

PARAMETER temperature 0.7

runs: ollama create novawriter-personal -f modelfile

boom. personalized AI.


privacy

everything happens locally:

  • analysis runs on your machine
  • model created on your machine
  • nothing sent to cloud
  • nothing tracked

your writing style = your data. stays yours.


when it works best

good for:

  • blog posts (consistent voice)
  • documentation (technical tone)
  • fiction (character consistency)
  • personal notes (your thinking style)

not ideal for:

  • formal reports (if you write casually)
  • academic papers (strict formatting)
  • collaborative docs (mixed voices)

limitations

  • needs data - requires ~10k words minimum
  • consistent writers - if your style varies wildly, it averages
  • model size - personalized model is 2-4GB (same as base)
  • not magic - gets close, not perfect

try it

  1. download NovaWriter
  2. install Ollama
  3. write 10,000 words
  4. click "Create Personal Model"
  5. watch AI learn your voice

takes 30 seconds. changes everything.


why this matters

generic AI is a commodity. everyone has access to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini.

personalized AI is defensible. only you can train an AI on YOUR voice.

this is the future of AI writing assistants.

not replacing your voice. enhancing it.
