NovelAI

NovelAI is an AI story writing assistant and anime image generator from Anlatan, sold by monthly subscription, with stories encrypted before saving.

NovelAI helps a fiction writer draft long stories with an AI that follows the characters, places and plot already on the page. Anlatan Inc., an independent developer, owns and runs the service. The same account generates anime art, so a chapter and portraits of its cast come from one workspace. Stories are encrypted in the browser before they are saved, and prompts are not stored. Writing happens in the story editor: the writer types, presses Send, and the model continues the passage. Retry asks for a different continuation, and Edit History saves every input and generation as a branching timeline to step back through. The Lorebook stores entries on characters, places and lore that the AI draws on as the story grows. The Writer's Toolbox acts on a selected passage: Rewrite matches the story's style, Transform pushes it toward a chosen concept, and Expand and Condense change its length. On the image side, NovelAI Diffusion draws anime characters and scenes, while Text to Speech reads stories aloud. Novelists, worldbuilders and text adventure players are the core audience, people who want an AI that follows their own story rather than starting from an empty prompt. Artists who want original anime characters, scenes and artwork use the image generator. Individuals buy it as a monthly subscription on one account, with a trial tier for trying text, image and speech generation first. The paid tiers, Tablet, Scroll and Opus, differ in how much of the story the AI holds in memory. Opus also adds far more Anlas, the credits image generation runs on, and access to the Xialong model. A typical session moves between drafting a chapter, adding Lorebook entries so a fantasy setting stays consistent, and branching back through Edit History when a scene goes wrong. The writer may then generate portraits of the cast or hear the chapter through Text to Speech. In Text Adventure mode, a player steers an interactive story one input at a time. For people who script, UI Extensions and a scripting API add custom panels and hooks inside the editor. NovelAI fits a writer who wants long fiction, its illustrations and its privacy kept in one place.
