NovelAI

NovelAI, developed by Anlatan Inc., combines two creative tools. Its story generator is a writing space where an AI model continues and expands the user's text, keeps track of characters and world details, and is positioned as writing with the author rather than for them; the homepage says story generation is powered by GLM 4.6. Its image generator, NovelAI Diffusion V5, creates anime-style characters, scenes and comic pages from prompts and includes tools for editing and refining images. The service also hosts a community board for sharing work.

NovelAI is popular with fiction writers, role-play and interactive-story fans, and illustrators working in anime styles. Generated stories and images can be inconsistent and may require editing, and nothing was tested for this listing. Users are responsible for the content they create and how they publish it.

The homepage lets visitors start writing or generating for free and refers to paid subscriptions. A blog post from August 2026 announced changes to usage limits and to how subscription Anlas, the credits used for image generation, are handled after the launch of the larger V5 model. Current plan prices were not captured, so check the pricing page before subscribing.

According to NovelAI's terms of service, users retain all rights and ownership of the content they create, and Anlatan does not claim ownership or act as a publisher of it. The terms also prohibit using automated systems that bypass service limits or place excessive strain on the service.
