“You spend 10 minutes re-explaining your characters to ChatGPT every time you start a new chapter”
“Your villain suddenly becomes friendly because the AI lost context after 3 pages”
“You copy-paste your world rules, character sheets, and previous chapters into every single prompt”
“You've tried 5 different AI tools and none of them understand what "narrative coherence" means”
There's a better way.
How it works — 3 simple steps
1. Connect your AI
Bring your OpenAI, Claude or Gemini key. Setup takes 3 minutes, and we encrypt the key with AES-256.
Follow our easy guide →2. Create your project
Choose your studio: Book, Manga, or Animation. Add your characters, world, and outline. TaleForge remembers everything.
3. Write with superpowers
Every AI request in the Book Studio carries your characters, world elements and earlier chapter synopses. That keeps names and facts straight.
Three studios, one forge
Each type of creation has its own dedicated studio with specialized tools.
Book Studio
Write novels, short stories and essays, with chapters, character sheets and worldbuilding. The AI sees your characters and world every time it writes.
- Structured chapters
- Character sheets
- Worldbuilding
- PDF/EPUB export
Ready to level up your writing?
Set up your characters and your world once. In the Book Studio, the AI gets them every time it writes.
Start creating — it's freeYour AI, your rules
Connect your OpenAI, Anthropic or Google AI key. In the Book Studio, every request includes your characters and your world.
Your key, your AI
TaleForge uses your own API key: you control your costs (usually $1-5 a month) and choose your AI. Connect OpenAI, Anthropic or Google AI.
Optimized prompts
In the Book Studio, you type a short request and TaleForge adds your characters, world elements and earlier chapter synopses before sending it.
Narrative coherence
Keep your character sheets and world notes up to date, and the AI keeps names and facts straight. It reads the synopses of earlier chapters, not the whole manuscript.
Collaboration
Invite co-authors and proofreaders to a book project, as editors or viewers. Up to 5 per project on Premium, no limit on Team.
Multi-format
Export books to EPUB, DOCX and PDF, or to plain text and Markdown. Manga and screenplays have their own exports.
Pro templates
Novel structures, manga story arcs, animation scripts — start with proven templates.
