White Whisper 1 — the first version of the method

Books made from real records: conversations, notes, documents.

White Whisper is a way of making a book out of what really happened: chat logs, notes, documents, recordings. The author decides what goes into the book.

The rule: a fact goes into the canon before it goes into the text — taken from the records or from the author's own words, quoted with a date.

How it works→

The method in fourteen parts, with diagrams. Written while the first book was being made.

The work is done by a team of AI roles — two writers (Claude and GPT), a lead editor, a critic, an integrity checker, an assistant who keeps the canon of facts, an English editor — usually each in a separate session and in one role. When the author is away, the team makes default decisions — each one is written down, and the author can undo it with a single word.

Where real people need protecting, names, places and details are changed on purpose, with a record of what was changed. The models also add things of their own; scripts, other roles and the author catch them, and the author approves the correction. Almost every step leaves a trace in the history of changes; where it does not, the series says so.

How a quote is checked

In the book (chapter 3)

01:08 ME: Go on, persuade my wife to go for a walk. She says it's late already, tired, she can't be bothered […] we're a married couple after all, you have to look after this relationship, we're away on a trip, we can go for an evening walk. Write something I'm to say to her, or you, as you, persuade her, I'll simply play it.

01:08 JA: Weź przekonaj moją żonę, żeby poszła na spacer. Ona mówi, że już jest późno, zmęczona, nie chce jej się […] jesteśmy przecież małżeństwem, trzeba dbać o ten związek, jesteśmy na wyjeździe, możemy pójść na spacer wieczorny. Napisz coś, co mam jej powiedzieć, albo ty, jako ty, ją przekonaj, po prostu ja to puszczę.
