Chat-to-novel
One click to reimagine any conversation as a novel. The best scenes you've ever had with a character, rewritten as prose.
Some of your best chats deserve to be more than a transcript. Chat-to-novel converts any conversation into a novel-mode manuscript — your dialogue becomes spoken lines with reactions, off-screen moments fill in, descriptions flesh out, and the result reads like a published chapter.
Why we built it: users were taking screenshots of chats and pasting them as fanfic. We wanted the next step to be one click, not a copy job. Read the launch →
How to convert
Open the chat you want to convert
Any chat works. Solo chats, group chats, finished arcs, recent scenes — all eligible.
Settings → Data management → Convert to novel
A confirmation dialog asks which range to convert: the entire chat, the last N messages, or a specific selection.
Wait for conversion
A 50-message chat takes ~30-60 seconds. The AI reads the entire transcript, identifies scene boundaries, and rewrites in prose.
Land in novel mode with the result
The new novel opens in the novel editor, fully editable. Every segment can be regenerated, edited, or extended. You can keep writing from here in novel mode.
What gets rewritten
| Chat element | Novel form |
|---|---|
| User message ("Mira leans in") | Action + sensory beat |
| Character reply (raw dialogue) | Dialogue with reaction beats around it |
[OOC: skip ahead] | Scene transition |
| Plugin output (status cards, etc.) | Either dropped or woven in as a moment |
| Forks / branches | Only the active branch converts |
What the AI adds
- Beats between lines — body language, hesitation, the small things real prose has between dialogue
- Setting cues — light, weather, time of day, atmosphere
- Internal voice — your character's interiority and the protagonist's reactions
What it doesn't do
- It doesn't invent plot. What didn't happen in the chat doesn't happen in the novel.
- It doesn't add explicit content that wasn't already in the chat.
- It doesn't reorder events — the chat's chronology is the novel's chronology.
Pricing
Conversion runs on your active novel model. A 50-message chat typically costs 30-80K credits — comparable to writing the equivalent scene from scratch in novel mode, but with the author work done.
After conversion
You're now in novel mode. From here you can:
- Continue the story. Direct what happens next.
- Edit segments. Tighten prose, fix moments where the AI overreached.
- Branch. Try alternate timelines.
- Convert to a story. If the novel feels structurally complete, the editor can export it to story mode with milestones.
Tips
- Convert in chunks for very long chats. A 500-message chat is better converted scene by scene than all at once.
- Edit afterwards. The conversion is a first draft. Treat it as a draft, not a manuscript.
