NovelAI is a subscription service from Anlatan built for creative fiction rather than office work. You write a scene, the AI continues it in your voice, and tools like Memory, Author's Note, and the Lorebook control exactly what it remembers. The same subscription includes NAI Diffusion for anime-style image generation plus text-to-speech. It fits novelists, roleplayers, worldbuilders, and artists who want privacy, fewer content restrictions, and hands-on control over what the model produces.

• Story-Tuned Text Models: Kayra and Erato are trained on curated literary data instead of general web text, so continuations read like prose rather than chatbot answers. Erato and newer models sit on the top Opus tier.
• Lorebook Memory System: Store characters, factions, locations, and world rules as entries tied to keywords. When a keyword appears in your text, the entry gets injected into context automatically.
• Memory and Author's Note: Pin permanent facts and hidden style directives that steer tone or plot without those instructions showing up in the visible story.
• NAI Diffusion Image Generation: In-house anime image models built from scratch, with multi-character prompting, character positioning, inpainting, and support for both Danbooru-style tags and plain English.
• Text Adventure Mode: Switch from linear prose to a choice-driven interactive fiction format where your inputs branch the story.
• Encrypted Story Storage: Stories are encrypted before they hit NovelAI's servers, so staff cannot read your drafts.
• Deep Editor Controls: Token probability views, phrase bias, sampling settings, custom CSS themes, dyslexic fonts, and .docx/.txt/.json import with .story and .scenario export.
• Text-to-Speech: Built-in voice synthesis reads back both your writing and the AI's output.

• Direct Context Control: You can see what the AI currently remembers and edit it directly, whereas most competing tools hide this entirely.
• Strong Privacy: Client-side encryption ensures your work remains your own, which is particularly important for unpublished manuscripts and personal projects.
• Flexible Content Policies: NovelAI grants writers greater freedom to explore mature and darker fictional themes than many general-purpose AI assistants.
• Anime-Focused Image Generation: NovelAI utilizes its own specially trained image models and provides detailed controls for creating anime-inspired artwork.

• Steep Learning Curve: NovelAI gives writers detailed control over Memory, Author's Notes, Lorebooks, presets, and generation settings, which can take time to master.
• Long-Form Editing Still Needs Attention: The AI can lose track of plot details as a story grows, so writers may need to update Memory, manage Lorebook entries, and edit generated text to maintain consistency.
• Context Limits Vary by Plan: Different subscription tiers provide different context sizes, meaning longer stories may require more active context management.
• Free Trial Is Limited: Verified accounts receive 50 text generations, 30 image generations, and 100 text-to-speech generations before a subscription is required.

• Drafting Genre Fiction: Write fantasy, sci-fi, horror, or romance where momentum matters more than literary polish. You write a paragraph, let the AI continue, then edit and regenerate until the scene lands.
• Breaking Writer's Block: Stuck at a blank page? Feed in the last few paragraphs and generate several possible continuations. Even rejected outputs often suggest a direction you had not considered.
• Building a Series Bible: Store characters, factions, locations, objects, and world rules in the Lorebook so relevant information can be added to the AI's context when needed.
• Illustrating Your Characters: Generate anime-style portraits and scenes of the characters you just wrote, with multi-character prompts and positioning for group shots. Useful for fanfiction covers, game assets, and character sheets.
