A companion that remembers your whole story.
Talebuddy keeps track of every character, place, and object while you write — so chapter thirty never contradicts chapter two. You bring the words. It carries the notes.
Free forever · No credit card · The free AI runs on your device
A thinking partner, never a ghostwriter. Talebuddy remembers, suggests, and stays out of your prose. Every word on the page is yours.
The problem
Long stories are a memory test.
Somewhere past chapter ten, the questions start. And each one pulls you out of the scene to go scrolling back.
“Was Mira's cloak grey or green?”
“Did the innkeeper already have a name?”
“How many days since the festival?”
You've tried the notebook and the spreadsheet. They fall behind by chapter five, because keeping them is a second job.
The answer
Meet the margin that keeps up.
Talebuddy files every detail beside your page while you write. The answer is always one glance away — so you never have to stop. Try it: hover an underlined name below.
CHAPTER III
The Vault
Down the spiral stair went Lyra, her lantern throwing long shadows across the stones of Ironhold Keep. Three days since the festival, and still the bells had not rung.
The old guard, Brennan, nodded as she passed. She clutched the Obsidian Seal tighter — one wrong move and everything would unravel.
The door to the vault stood
In the margin
Archivist, 24. Braided dark hair. Carries the Seal.
Mountain fortress. Library in the east wing.
One of five. Hums near the vault.
Filled in as you write. Nothing to set up.
I
The Creative Ledger
Every character, remembered.
As you write, Talebuddy notices characters, places, and objects and files them in a ledger beside your page. Mention someone new and it asks — one click, tracked. No forms, no setup, no leaving the sentence.
- Click any underlined name to see its full entry
- Rename a character across the whole story in one step
- Works for places, objects, and lore too
Archivist, 24. Braided dark hair.
Old guard. Watches the vault.

Revision tools
Select a line. Shape it.
Highlight any passage and four quiet tools appear: Expand, Compress, Rephrase, and Thesaurus. Each one reads your story before it suggests a word — so what comes back sounds like your book, not a bot.
Your line
She walked into the room. It was dark. She felt scared.
Lyra pushed open the heavy door and stepped inside. The darkness hit her at once — thick, suffocating, the kind that made her ears strain for any sound. Her fingers found the wall, and she pressed her back against it, heart hammering.
III
Writer's block
Stuck? See three ways forward.
When the scene stalls, ask what could happen next. Talebuddy reads what you've written and offers three grounded directions, built from your characters and your world — not a random prompt. Take one, twist one, or write the fourth it made you think of.
“…she clutched the Obsidian Seal tighter as the vault door swung open.”
The vault is empty — someone got there first. Lyra hears footsteps retreating down a passage she didn't know existed.
TensionBrennan follows her in and admits he's been watching the vault for weeks. He knows what's inside.
RevelationThe Seal begins to hum against her palm, pulling toward something deeper in the dark.

IV
Editorial agent
An editor that reads every chapter.
Ask the editorial agent for a pass over your manuscript. It reads the whole story and flags the issues worth your attention — contradictions, timeline slips, threads you dropped — each note pointing at the exact line, so problems surface before your readers find them.
Brennan's eyes are grey in Chapter 1, brown in Chapter 4.
The festival was “three days ago” in Chapter 3, “last week” in Chapter 5.
The second Obsidian Seal hasn't been mentioned since Chapter 2.
3 notes on 14 chapters — each one a click from the line it refers to.
V
Translation agent
Your story, in English.
Write in the language you think in. When you're ready for a bigger shelf, the translation agent carries your story into English — keeping your voice, and using your ledger so every name and invented term stays consistent across the whole book.
Your original · Dutch
Ze klemde het Obsidiaanzegel steviger vast — één verkeerde beweging en alles zou uiteenvallen.
English
She clutched the Obsidian Seal tighter — one wrong move and everything would unravel.
Names and terms follow your ledger, so they stay consistent from the first page to the last.
VI
From your chatbot
Bring the lore you already built.
If your characters were born in ChatGPT or Claude, you don't have to move them by hand. Connect your chatbot and tell it what to send — characters, places, lore — straight into your Talebuddy ledger, ready to use the moment you start writing.

Google Drive
Start from the draft you already have.
Your novel doesn't have to start over in a new tool. Load a manuscript straight from Google Drive and Talebuddy gets to work on it — the ledger fills, the margin wakes up, and every tool is ready on the document you already have.

The free plan
Free means free. Private means private.
Most AI writing tools meter every word. Talebuddy's free plan runs its AI entirely on your device instead — once it's loaded, you can write with your wifi off.
On your device
The free AI runs in your browser, on your machine.
No usage limits
No credit meter, no monthly cap. Write all night.
Yours, always
Your draft stays on your device on the free plan.
Want more horsepower? Paid plans add cloud AI and sync across devices.
How it works
Three steps, no homework.
1
Open a tale and write
No setup, no character sheets to fill in first. The ledger starts empty and fills as your story does.
2
Say yes to the margin
When a new name appears, Talebuddy asks if it should track it. One click, and the detail is kept for good.
3
Call for help when you want it
Select a line to reshape it, or ask what could happen next. Nothing is ever added without your say.
You'll be typing within a minute.

Questions
Fair questions, straight answers.
Will the AI write my book for me?
No — and that's the point. Talebuddy never adds a word without you asking. It tracks your story, suggests directions when you're stuck, and reshapes lines you select. You accept, edit, or ignore everything it offers.
Is the free plan really unlimited?
Yes. The free plan's AI runs on your own device, in your browser, so there's nothing for us to meter. No credits, no caps, no trial clock.
Does my writing stay private?
On the free plan, your draft is stored on your device and the AI runs there too — your words never leave your machine. Paid plans store your work in the cloud so it can sync across devices.
I keep my worldbuilding in Obsidian. Does that work?
Yes. On paid plans you can connect your Obsidian vault and browse your notes right beside the Creative Ledger, inside the editor.
Do I need to install anything?
No — Talebuddy runs in your browser. The first time you use the free AI it loads a model into your browser's storage; after that it can work offline.
