NovelAI is a subscription AI platform for writing stories and generating anime-style images, offering a story editor, memory tools, image generation with Anlas credits and a one-time free trial.
NovelAI is a subscription-based AI platform from Anlatan for writing stories and generating images. On the writing side, it offers a story editor with AI text generation, memory and context tools that help the AI keep track of characters and plot. On the image side, it generates anime-style artwork from text prompts using an image model trained for that style.
New users can try the platform with a one-time free trial, reported as about 50 text generations and 30 image generations. After that, access is through monthly subscription tiers called Tablet, Scroll and Opus. Higher tiers mainly add a larger context size, so the AI can remember more of your story, and more monthly Anlas, the credits used for image generation. Extra Anlas can be bought separately, and billing is month to month.
NovelAI is popular with fiction writers, role-playing fans and artists who want anime-style illustrations. Because there are lookalike apps, use the official site at novelai.net. Features, limits and plan details change, so confirm them in NovelAI's documentation before you subscribe.
