AI writing software

One piece of writing software for the whole book

Planning in one app, drafting in another, AI in a browser tab and formatting in a fourth tool adds up to a lot of copying. AIBookWriter keeps every stage of a book in one place, with AI built into each.

The trouble with a writing stack

Most writers end up with a toolkit that grew one problem at a time.
  • Several tools for one book

    Notes in one place, an outline in another, the manuscript in a word processor and AI in a separate tab.

  • AI bolted on

    An assistant that does not know your outline, your characters or what you wrote yesterday.

  • Formatting is its own project

    Trim sizes, themes, ebook files and spine widths, all in yet another program.

  • Publishing by hand

    Blurbs, keywords, covers, sample chapters and launch emails, each assembled from scratch.

What is in the software

All of it runs in the browser, and all of it works on the same book.
  • A book project

    Concept, basics, style, characters, outline and chapters, organized as one book.

  • A chapter editor

    Write by hand, or have AI drafts streamed in next to your text.

  • Version history

    Version history keeps snapshots as you write and every AI change, so experiments can be reversed.

  • Whole-book review

    An editorial letter, pacing notes and line edits, with free re-runs on the same book.

  • Formatting and export

    A print-ready PDF with trim sizes and themes and an EPUB on Pro, DOCX from Plus and Markdown on every plan.

  • Publishing pages

    An author page and book pages with free sample chapters and an email sign-up, on Pro.

  • Audiobook Studio

    Thirteen voices, a narrator plus character voices, chapter-by-chapter MP3 files, on Pro.

  • Translation

    A whole book into a new linked edition in more than 30 languages, on Pro.

Moving an existing manuscript in

Switching writing software is only worth it if your work comes with you. AIBookWriter imports Word (.docx) manuscripts of up to 200,000 words, and the import is free.

Here is what happens:

  • Chapters are detected automatically. The manuscript is split into chapters without you marking them up by hand.
  • You review the split before anything is imported. A chapter break in the wrong place gets caught at this stage, not after you have started working.
  • An optional AI pass fills in the rest. It reads the manuscript and fills in characters and a story bible, so the AI tools have context from your first session.

After the import, the manuscript is a normal book project. Continue writing in the chapter editor, plan the remaining chapters on chapter cards, run the whole-book review or go straight to formatting.

If your manuscript lives in another program, save or export it as a .docx file first; most word processors and writing apps can do that.

Leaving is just as straightforward. You keep all rights to what you write, and you can export your work at any time.

Where you might be coming from

  • A word processor and a chat window

    Keep writing the way you do, with the AI moved into the chapter and your outline available to it.

  • A dedicated novel-writing app

    Bring the manuscript in through the Word importer and add AI drafting, a whole-book review and formatting.

  • A formatting program and a designer

    Generate covers and format print and ebook files in the same project as the manuscript.

  • Nothing yet

    Start from a concept and let the workflow walk you through each stage of the book.

Questions about the software

Do I need to install anything?

No. AIBookWriter is a web app that runs in your browser, and your books are stored in your account, so you can pick up a chapter on a different computer. The word counter and royalty calculator even run entirely in your browser, without sending your text anywhere.

Can I write without using the AI?

Yes. The chapter editor works as plain writing software with version history. AI drafting, passage edits and the review are there when you want them and cost credits only when you use them. Character profiles and chapter cards can be filled in by hand too.

What file formats can I import and export?

Import Word (.docx) manuscripts of up to 200,000 words, for free. Export Markdown on every plan and DOCX from Plus, plus an EPUB and a print-ready PDF with trim sizes, themes and preflight checks on the Pro plan. Visual books export as a print PDF with bleed.

How is it priced?

Plans are billed monthly or yearly. Free costs nothing and includes 100 credits. Plus is $12 a month billed yearly, with 1,000 credits a month. Pro is $30 a month billed yearly, with 5,000 credits, and adds print formatting, translation, audiobooks, author pages, visual books and series. Ultra is $120 a month billed yearly, with 25,000 credits.

Can I use my own AI keys?

On the Ultra plan, yes: you can bring your own OpenRouter and ElevenLabs keys. On the other plans, AI work is paid in credits, so there are no API keys to manage. You choose a model tier per chapter, Swift, Balanced or Literary, and the credit price is shown up front.

Which languages does the interface support?

The interface is in English. Books themselves can be written in more than 30 languages, set per book in Basics, so you can write in a language other than the one the menus use. On Pro a finished book can be translated into a new linked edition without changing the original.
