Type

Type (operating as Type.ai, corporate entity TypeAI Inc.) develops a web-based word processor with embedded AI features aimed at long-form creative writing, including books, novels, screenplays and short stories. The editor combines a draft surface with an integrated AI chat assistant so users do not move text between separate tools, and supports documents up to 150,000 words; longer manuscripts are recommended to be split across multiple documents. Users can import and edit Word documents and PDFs, with images, headings and tables preserved.

Product features include a "Notes" system that stores structured details about characters, settings, scenes and world-building so AI suggestions reflect the specifics of a project, and custom writing rules intended to keep generated and revised text consistent with a user's own style. Notes can be edited manually or changed through the chat assistant. Outputs can be exported as DOCX or PDF, shared as view-only URLs, or converted into narrated audio tracks using selectable voices. The editor also provides offline use, version history, keyboard shortcuts, and rich formatting including images, tables, code and math blocks. The company states that no AI models are trained on customer data and that uploads and documents remain private to the user.

Alongside the core editor, Type.ai publishes a set of free, single-purpose web tools used as entry points, including an AI story generator, AI novel writer, AI book writer, fan fiction generator, character name generator, plot generator, book title generator, and sentence and paragraph rewriters.
