Stuck? We read every letter.

Talebuddy is an AI writing assistant tailored for fiction authors and game narrative designers. It lets you write stories in a rich text editor while an AI-powered Creative Ledger automatically detects and tracks your characters, locations, items, and lore so you can write longer stories without losing the thread.

Free-tier users run AI features locally on their own device, meaning the text stays in the browser. Paid users can use advanced cloud AI models for cross-device sync and faster generation speeds.

Because they cannot run on your own machine. Writing, the Creative Ledger, and the on-device AI all happen in your browser, cost us nothing to run, and are free. A handful of features are different in kind: syncing a tale between two devices, letting an outside assistant read your story, or keeping your Obsidian vault in step all need a server in the middle that someone has to run and pay for. Wherever a feature is marked with the cloud badge, that is what the badge means — the work happens on our machines, not yours.

Where it is technically possible, yes — that is the direction we push in. Every time a model gets small enough to run in a browser, or a job turns out not to need a server after all, we move it to the free tier and say so. But we will not promise it for everything: some features are remote by their nature, and no amount of engineering makes two devices meet without something in between. So we mark those clearly rather than pretending they are coming, and the plans are what keep the free half free.

New features, while they are still finding their feet. Subscribers are the first group we open anything to, which means they see the rough edges and their feedback shapes what the rest of the product becomes. Anything that can eventually run locally then follows to the free tier.

The Creative Ledger is the intelligent entity tracking system running alongside your document. As you write, Talebuddy detects named characters, locations, and items, highlighting them in the text so your world's logic stays consistent.

Yes. Talebuddy can use the context of your story to suggest what might logically happen next, and you can guide the suggestions with follow-up feedback.

Talebuddy automatically splits long documents into manageable pages and generates summaries in the background so you can keep a high-level view of the plot structure.
