A million words in, nothing breaks

WorkGoa is a desktop AI writing agent for long-form and serialized fiction, named after the Tibetan gazelle (Goa) — a creature that migrates vast distances across the plateau, in herds. It treats your whole book as a structure that can be remembered and audited: worldbuilding, character state and foreshadowing stay maintained, so you never wander off-topic, however far you write.

Where the name comes from

The Goa in WorkGoa is the Tibetan gazelle

The Tibetan gazelle (Procapra picticaudata) lives on plateaus above 3,000 meters. It doesn't charge with brute force — it stays keenly alert, travels with its herd, and endures long distances. That is exactly what a serialized novel demands: a high-altitude endurance run across a million words.

We took the name Goa hoping this writing agent would be like the gazelle: light to carry, sharp to spot a break, close by the author's side, and resilient over the long haul. It never mass-produces your prose for you — it guards your setups and foreshadowing, walking with you to finish a serialization that otherwise tends to drift.

Light · No added weight

A compact desktop app that launches fast and stays lean, so you focus on the story, not the tool.

Perceptive · Catches drift

Like the sentinel of the herd, it spots character contradictions, setting drift and dropped foreshadowing — and warns you before they break.

Together · A long run

Desktop and mobile travel as one herd — you don't have to run a serialization alone.

Resilient · Unbroken at scale

Bring in the right model engine and let your worldbuilding accumulate — it holds up across a million-word serialization.

Core Capabilities

A production-and-QC base built for serialized long-form

Multi-model engines · Hosted or your key

The built-in engine works out of the box — install it and start writing, no external command-line tooling required. Two ways to power your models: official hosted models (a built-in Qwen family, run on token packs with no key setup at all), or bring your own key (BYOK) — the app ships presets for several providers and also accepts custom endpoints on major compatible protocols. With your own key, token costs settle straight with the provider — no markup, and we never see your key.

Writing pipeline skills

An off-topic-proof pipeline of outline → worldbuilding → character cards → volume → chapter summaries → prose, with built-in finished-reference deconstruction & pastiche, and continue / expand / rewrite skills — plus custom skills you add.

Memory for a whole book

Your world bible, character-state and foreshadowing ledgers are captured automatically as Markdown and persisted with Git — a million words in, your settings and characters still stay consistent.

Consistency review · Serial hub

Chapter-level drift detection and a one-click post-writing consistency report — contradictions, drift and dangling foreshadowing located with evidence and resolved line by line — plus daily-update scheduling and whole-volume Goal mode.

Mobile Companion

Pair your phone with the desktop agent: follow serialization progress on the go, receive decision summaries, and approve key steps — the draft keeps moving even when you leave your desk.

Local-first · You own the draft

Manuscripts, settings and memory stay on your machine by default. Your data is in your hands — never uploaded, never used to train any model, with clear privacy boundaries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What you might want to know about WorkGoa

Desktop installers are shipping for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), built on Tauri so the package stays small and launches fast. Windows and Linux are still working through signing and build infrastructure, and the mobile companion (follow and advance your serialization tasks remotely) is preparing for store review. The download page is the source of truth for what is available today.
