I’m not a company, not a studio, not a marketing team. I’m one person. An IT guy working in support, a dark fantasy author in my spare hours, and a self-taught tinkerer who had the odd idea of coding his own writing software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That software is Le Grimoire<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It all started with a very personal problem. I’m writing a novel. A big one. A three-thousand-year universe, dozens of characters, several narrative voices, a sprawling mythology. And at some point, I drowned. Notes everywhere, no overview, the constant fear of losing the thread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I went looking for a tool to pull me out of it. I found nothing that really suited me: too complicated, too expensive, too dependent on the cloud, or with an AI that wanted to write in my place. So I did what stubborn people do: I built it myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Le Grimoire was born from that need. A tool to organize a novel without drowning, with an AI that assists<\/strong> the author without ever writing in their place, that runs locally<\/strong> on your machine, and that respects your voice, your data, and your wallet all at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few convictions guide everything I do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Writing shouldn’t be expensive.<\/strong> Writing is an art open to everyone. I refuse to turn it into a luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The AI assists, it doesn’t replace.<\/strong> Your voice belongs to you. Le Grimoire’s AI organizes, sorts, and connects, but it never writes your prose for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your data is yours.<\/strong> Everything stays local, on your machine. You can even plug in your own AI model if you feel like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We move forward together.<\/strong> I don’t want customers, I want traveling companions. A bug, an idea, a remark? I genuinely listen, and the software grows thanks to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re curious how you get from an overflowing novel to a full-blown piece of software \u2014 by way of a heatwave with no AC, gallons of coffee, and a name found in front of an episode of Grimm<\/em> \u2014 I’ve told the whole adventure, unfiltered, in a series of articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy Le Grimoire exists<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
