Why writers pick Webnovels AI
Use the AI you already pay for
Sign in with your Grok or ChatGPT subscription, add a Claude API key, or run a local model on your computer. Webnovels AI sells no AI credits.
Book memory fills itself
When you accept a chapter, Webnovels AI records what changed: the characters, places, ranks and open plot threads. Bao reads these records before it writes the next chapter.
Author Voice scans your chapters
Give it chapters you wrote. It measures their length, beats, point of view and dialogue, and Bao plans and drafts new chapters to match.

What a year of writing costs
Type.ai’s Basic plan costs less than Webnovels AI, and its AI stops at the plan’s credits. Webnovels AI’s price covers the software, and the AI runs on the account you connect, so drafting and rewriting a long serial does not move you up a tier.
