Manuscript chat for writers

Write your story in conversation with AI

Folio Writer pairs a focused chat with a live manuscript preview — chapters and scenes grow as you and the model work together. Use your own API keys, hear drafts with ElevenLabs, invite friends, export when you're ready.

Let's open on the pier — rain, one lantern still lit.

Chapter 2 — The Pier

Rain needled the boards while Mara counted the boats that hadn't come home. The last lantern threw a thin gold path across the black water…

Built for long-form fiction

Everything stays in one workspace — chat, structure, and prose side by side.

Chat-first drafting

Steer the LLM like a writing partner. Messages stream in real time while the agent updates scenes and keeps context compact when threads grow long.

Live manuscript

Chapters and scenes appear beside the conversation. Jump between structure and prose without losing the thread of your story.

Your models, your keys

Connect OpenRouter, OpenAI, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Keys are encrypted at rest — you control cost and model choice per project.

ElevenLabs preview & export

Connect ElevenLabs, cast voices for narration and characters, preview annotated scenes in the app, and export DOCX, SSML, or MP3 — including shared audio for your writing group.

Write together, everywhere

Invite friends to shared chats on web or Android — manage roles, typing indicators, and push notifications. One account, same manuscripts on every device.

Export to DOCX

Download a formatted manuscript with a table of contents when you're ready to share with editors, beta readers, or print workflows.

How it works

From blank page to structured draft in three steps.

1

Create a manuscript

Start a new story, pick your LLM provider, and set the language you want the model to write in.
2

Chat and iterate

Describe beats, revise tone, rewind messages, and let the agent draft scenes into your manuscript as you go.
3

Share and export

Invite collaborators when you want a room, then export DOCX when the draft is ready for the next stage.
