Changelog

Updates (March 25, 2026)

• Narrova Codex preview flow is smoother from prompt to response: Starter prompts and preview behavior were refined so it is easier to launch focused runs and stay in the right workflow lane.

• Storyform guidance is clearer when you ask for multiple fields at once: Multi-field Storyform requests now return more coherent, better-structured guidance across combined story points.
• Narrova streaming state feels steadier during active replies: In-progress transitions were tightened so assistant output feels more predictable while a response is still being generated.
• Streamed reply formatting now preserves spacing more reliably: Live markdown output keeps paragraph and line-break structure more faithfully, making partial responses easier to read as they arrive.
• Interim “working” indicators are less distracting on fast runs: Progress indicators now wait briefly before showing, reducing unnecessary flicker when responses complete quickly.

Updates (March 24, 2026)

• Narrova assistant replies now present with a cleaner, less robotic voice: Response styling and output formatting were refined so guidance reads more naturally and stays easier to follow.
• Orchestrator/internal agent labels are now hidden in streamed replies: Thread output now emphasizes the assistant answer itself instead of exposing backend orchestration labels during generation.

Welcome to Narrova: What's New

Muse is evolving—introducing Narrova. We've reimagined your storytelling experience from the ground up. Here are the new changes designed to enhance your creative process:

Streamlined Interface

Experience a clean, intuitive design that allows you to focus entirely on your writing. Narrova's interface prioritizes ease and comfort.

New Name and Framework

Muse is now Narrova. This name reflects our shift to a multi-agentic framework providing smarter, more targeted assistance without needing to switch between modes. In addition, this framework makes it possible to extend the platform through Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Dedicated Story Spaces

Stories now have individual spaces to organize and store everything from character sketches and worldbuilding notes to complete drafts. Easily access your entire collection of materials to enrich new stories.

Context Feature

Narrova's Context feature helps you quickly view and control your current narrative perspective, making it easier to understand your creative context at any moment.

Intelligent Draft Analysis

Upload drafts directly to Narrova to receive precise analysis and actionable suggestions on what can be improved or expanded, helping you enhance your storytelling.

Effortless Personalization

Use custom Persona Presets tailored to your starting point and preferred writing style. Leverage the deep narrative intelligence of Dramatica theory across various media and genres, from novels to screenplays to immersive narratives.
