Enter your idea and we generate a full novel and turn it into your personal audiobook using AI. Choose between an easy mode with just one sentence or an advanced mode where you can customize characters, genre, story, time and place and much more. Now on IOS.
"Yeah really, with this new AI thing you could generate a full book if you wanted to..."
- If you're like me, you've probably said something along those lines recently, trying to explain the incredible leaps in AI to less tech savvy people. But if it's such an obvious use case, why isn't it already a thing?
That's exactly what we're going to change with today's launch! Our small team is super exited to finally share our project with you. We've poured our hearts into this, and we'd love to hear what you think.
Our goal? To enable anyone with a smartphone to "write" their own Harry Potter level books. Okay, we know of course we're still quite far from that, but imagine someone creating a book that means as much to them as Harry Potter does to millions of fans. That's what we're shooting for, and I can tell you, the stories possible with our app right now are already pretty mind-blowing (at least to me).
We're well aware this is a controversial project and we're gonna face some pushback. But here's the thing: most books today come from a small pool of highly educated, often well off authors. They're brilliant, no doubt. But are they the only ones with great stories to tell? How many potential "Lord of the Rings" are out there, locked away in people's minds, never seeing the light of day because those people don't have the means or time to write their own book? And historically, has making art more accessible ever led to worse art?
Today we're taking the first step towards a shift from purely author-created books to user-generated ones. If our project speaks to you (or even if you just like the concept), we'd be incredibly grateful for your upvote. After months of bootstrapping, your support would mean the world to us. It'll help us focus on finding the right balance of user involvement - whether it's one-prompt wonders, heavy, assisted editing, or even book versioning - and most importantly, on making better and better stories. (And of course reaching human level narrating!)
Let's open up the world of storytelling together!
(P.S. To ensure a smooth launch, we've activated invite codes in the app. I'll post some initial ones in the comments below and then after signing up, each user can find 2 new codes in their profile to share here or with friends.)

This sounds like a fascinating project with the potential to democratize storytelling! Here's a response that combines interest with some questions and offers help:
- Can you elaborate on how the AI specifically assists with the writing process? Does it generate entire chapters or focus on specific aspects like plot, character development, or style?
- With user-generated content, how do you ensure quality and maintain a platform for compelling stories? Is there a role for human editors or beta readers?
As a developer, I'm interested in the technical aspects behind the AI writing assistant and the user experience. If those align with my skills (e.g., AI development, creative writing), I might be able to contribute to future development.
Overall, this project has the potential to be a game-changer for aspiring authors. Learning more about the AI's role in the writing process and how you ensure story quality would be interesting. I'd love to see how this platform evolves and potentially contribute my skills if relevant!
Hi Jari,
How customizable are the generated stories in terms of plot complexity and character development? Can users edit the text before the final audio is created?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin Hi Kyrylo,
thanks a lot!
The stories are pretty customizable, since the "plot field" has no character limit, so in theory you could put very detailed instructions in there. But you could also put just a rough outline of your idea and we will generate a detailed plot etc in the background.
And so far users can't edit the full text but were thinking about a more detailed edit mode later, feel free to try the app and tell us what you think about that :)
