NovelAI is a free AI text generator website by Anlatan. This web app utilises artificial intelligence to create text, similar to ChatGPT and even offers image generation capabilities like StockIMG.AI. As the name implies, NovelAI is geared towards writing a novel, but you can also use it for other text content.
It’s powered by GPT technology but tailored for a specific type of action, writing fiction. The developer has trained the AI using real literature and is touted as a “companion” rather than a replacement for the writer. This is because it adapts to your input, maintaining your style.
Impressive performance
NovelAI has a very robust database, and it shows in its flexibility when it comes to writing in a certain genre or style. You can either start writing yourself or if you’re not a writer, you can simply give some commands for the AI to write a compelling story related to them.
It’s a great impersonator and the texts generated do feel as if they were written by the requested authors, at least at first glance. The app isn’t repetitive, either, making each story unique. There are many AI models to choose from, with themes such as Egypt, Post-Apocalyptic and more.
Visualise your characters
If it weren't enough to have it write for you, NovelAI also lets you illustrate your characters. They’re generated from your input and your writing. You can choose styles such as cartoons, anime, realistic and many more. These images can be created in different sizes and different settings.
You can also use text-to-speech tools to hear your story with different voices, all suitable for reading literature.
The end of writing? Not quite
NovelAI is an incredible tool, with its best use being enhancing your writing. However, although it can produce some good literature, it’s still no replacement for a human writer. The best analogy is a cover band: you can put a wig on and try to sing the same way as the originals, but it’ll always feel like a copy.
That said, when you’re feeling stuck, it’s a valuable creative tool that can help you fine-tune details, such as the environment of your imagined alien worlds or how a character walks. Bear in mind the best AI performance comes with paid plans.
