Type AI

Type.ai is an AI word processor built for storytellers. It is designed to help writers finish books, novels, screenplays and other long-form creative writing that needs careful drafting, editing and review. The company says more than 300,000 writers use it.

Writing and chat in one place

Your draft and the AI assistant are integrated in the same editor, so you don't copy and paste between a word processor and a chatbot. You can ask for suggestions, edits or ideas while looking at the text they apply to.

Story memory

Type lets you save rich details about your story, including characters, settings and scenes. The assistant uses those details to give specific suggestions rather than generic ones, which matters in long projects where an AI would otherwise forget names, relationships or plot points from earlier chapters.

Your own style

You can create custom writing rules that capture the quirks of your style, so suggestions sound more like you. This is useful for keeping a consistent voice across a long manuscript.

Publishing

Drafts can be exported as DOCX or PDF, or shared as a view-only URL. You can also pick a voice and generate a narrated audio track of your work.

A full word processor

Type works offline, so you can write without an internet connection. It has keyboard shortcuts for navigating the whole app, version history, and rich formatting support for images, tables, code and math blocks.

Privacy

Type says no AI models are trained on your data, and that uploads and documents remain private to you.

Pricing

A free plan lets you try every feature with limited credits that never expire. Billed annually, Basic is $8 a month ($96 a year) with 500,000 credits, Pro is $16 a month ($192 a year) with 1,500,000 credits for longer works like a novel or screenplay, and Max is $64 a month ($768 a year) with 6,000,000 credits for writing several books a year. Annual billing saves 33% compared with monthly. All paid plans include the writing, editing and publishing features and supported AI models.

Things to consider

Check publishers' and contests' rules on AI-assisted writing, and keep your own voice central. Some publishers and platforms require disclosure of AI use. Keep backups of your manuscript outside any single app.
