Most AI book services work like a black box. Your content goes in, a manuscript comes out, and you hope it sounds like you. We thought creators deserved more than hope. The Source Map color-codes every paragraph in your manuscript: your original words from newsletters, podcasts, and posts alongside the connective tissue Prosed added to bridge your ideas together. Today, over 90% of each book we assembled is the creator's own words. Now you can see that for yourself.

Henji turns your half-formed thoughts into a finished reply that sounds like you — not a generic AI. Most AI tools think for you and hand back text in their voice, so you rewrite it anyway. Henji is the opposite: you keep the thinking, Henji just handles the writing. Select a message, drop a few keywords, and get a reply in your tone — ready to send. The more you use it, the more it learns your phrasing, your rhythm, your emoji habits. Starts with Slack. Built for anyone drowning in replies.
