novelistAI is a web platform for writing books with AI. It supports six formats: novels, tales, non-fiction, gamebooks, poetry, and scripts or screenplays. Users choose a format, an AI model, a language and an age rating, describe a story concept, and the platform generates the book's title and introduction.
The product goes beyond text. It includes tools for generating cover images and page illustrations and for turning pages into narrated audio. It also hosts a library of free books written by other users. The company reports 92,568 books written and 68,000 creators on the platform.
Writing starts in the Write a Book section, which follows guided steps. After the user defines the concept and any extra settings, the AI generates the title and introduction and the book grows page by page. Each page uses credits, from 1 to 30 depending on the text model, and the exact cost is shown before generating.
Images come from an Images panel, using auto-generated or custom prompts and models such as SEEDREAM, IDEOGRAM, RECRAFT-3 or FLUX. Audio is generated per page with OpenAI TTS, XTTS or MINIMAX voices, including custom narrators made from an uploaded voice sample. Narrated pages can be exported as one audiobook file.
On the writing side, novelistAI offers help with plot development, character consistency, dialogue and scene suggestions, and checks for plot or timeline inconsistencies. Gamebooks support multiple storylines and endings. Writing is available in more than 88 languages. The company's news page says GPT-5.6 Terra, GPT-5.6 Luna and Grok-4.5 were added as writing models in July 2026.
For visuals, image editing lets users change a cover or illustration with plain-language instructions, such as adding or removing elements or switching style. Covers can include the book title. Paid plans add HD images, more styles, custom voices, PDF export and advanced editing. A company guide describes four export formats: EPUB, PDF, text and audiobook.
