Where each tool starts
Atticus starts with you at the keyboard, in an editor that already knows about chapters and front matter. The studio starts with a brief and a generated outline, and the first draft of each chapter comes from a model.
What happens after the draft
Atticus's formatting templates and print export are richer than the studio's single layout. The studio's exports are built to be correct rather than configurable — a validated EPUB 3 with a cover image, a paginated PDF with a contents page, a DOCX with real headings — and the DOCX opens in Atticus if you want its templates.
Which workflow fits whom
An author who writes their own manuscript and wants many layout options and print files in one purchase is Atticus's customer. Someone who wants the draft generated from an outline, edited in place, and exported cleanly — with the option to finish in Atticus — is the studio's.
