Getting Started
What to know when you first arrive at Slima
-
01
Welcome to Slima
Slima isn't another word processor — it's a long-form writing environment that remembers your whole book, integrating writing, AI conversation, version history, and reader feedback in one place.
-
02
The 3 Studios + Slima MCP, in one read
Slima splits long-form writing into three studios plus Slima MCP. Thirty-second overview — find your fit.
-
03
The three pillars: whole-book memory, version history, manuscript-aware AI
What Slima does under the hood is what long-form actually needs: AI that sees the whole book, drafts that never disappear, an AI that knows where you are.
-
04
Sign up and sign in to Slima
Three paths into Slima — email, Google, GitHub. No credit card, no trial timer. Plus the snags that usually trip people up.
-
05
Pick a Studio and create your first book
Five minutes from sign-in to first chapter: pick the right Studio, create a book, drop in your first 50 words.
-
06
Interface tour: shelf, editor, right-side chat, toolbar
Five-minute tour of every region of the Slima UI — what each button does and why it lives where it does.
-
07
Import your existing manuscript (Word / Scrivener / Markdown)
Bring in Word / Scrivener / Markdown / plain text — how Slima parses chapters, what survives, what to watch out for per source.
-
08
Pick a plan: Free / Starter / Pro / Team
Not numbers — those are at /plans. This is the shape of each tier, the natural upgrade triggers, and how to operate the change.
-
09
Global keyboard shortcuts cheat sheet
The 5 you actually need, plus categorised tables for writing / files / Coach / UI. On Mac, buttons also surface the shortcut next to them.
