Two ways to experience the novel

CiaoNovel isn’t just a writing tool, but a complete storytelling ecosystem designed for those who love writing and reading. Whether you’re here to shape your first work or to get swept up in stories written by other authors, our platform brings together creativity, technology and community in one tailor-made experience.

CiaoNovel Writer

Write your novel, one step at a time, with AI by your side (or on your own, if you prefer).

Many AI writing tools promise a novel generated automatically, with one click, with no effort at all.

CiaoNovel works differently: you tell it what your protagonist does, step by step — the AI helps you: it writes together with you, not instead of you.

Every choice is yours: one paragraph at a time, never losing the thread. The direction of the story comes from what you decide. The AI proposes, corrects, keeps everything consistent — but the novel stays yours from the first idea to the final word.

For those who love to write: a minimal environment, no distractions

CiaoNovel is designed first of all for those who write. It offers a minimal theme, clean and customizable, built to remove any distracting element and let you focus solely on the words.

You don’t need AI to use it: it’s a beautiful pure writing editor, free of notifications and complex menus. If and when you want it, the AI will be there waiting for you; otherwise, it’ll just be you and your story.

Two ways of using CiaoNovel

Cloud edition — free, no AI

Ideal for focusing on writing and reading right away. You get a lightweight, distraction-free editor to create and organize your texts on any device.

Instant sync: Start a chapter on your computer and continue it on your phone on the subway, without carrying any files around.
Minimal ebook reader: upload, read and listen to your novels in txt and epub format. Browse CiaoNovel Reader’s showcase, full of free classics and novels published by the community.

AI edition — {{PREZZO}} a month
By supporting the CiaoNovel project with a {{PREZZO}} monthly subscription, on top of all the base features and cloud sync, you get two exclusive benefits:

Publish and sell your novels: publish on CiaoNovel Reader at the price you choose (even for free) and earn directly from your work — CiaoNovel keeps only 10% of the cover price to support the platform, everything else goes straight to you.
Continuous AI in the cloud: use the narrative assistant directly from your browser or the app.

How the AI assistant works

Find your narrative voice
To start, upload one of your own texts or a passage from your favourite author: we’ll analyse the writing style and use it as a guide to shape your novel.

The Beacon: your story’s compass
At the start of the novel, we define the Beacon together — the direction and tone of your story. It isn’t a cage: your narrative stays free to surprise you, but it never loses its course.

One step at a time, one paragraph after another
Tell it what happens, or what your protagonist does, and the story moves in that direction — it doesn’t follow a script decided in advance. At every step, the AI proposes a few different alternatives to choose from, or you can write the text yourself, in your own words.

Nothing gets lost along the way
Character, object and location sheets update themselves as you write. Open plot threads always stay in view, so no narrative thread ever gets forgotten.

Complete a manuscript
You can also upload your own unfinished draft: we’ll pick up the story exactly where you left it, respecting the plot and style you’ve already set, so you can keep writing together all the way to the last page.

Multi-author writing
Share a link with anyone you like: they’ll be able to follow your novel live, vote on the alternatives for how the story continues, and chat with you in real time, until you end the session.

Creative writing course
Learn the craft by writing. Every lesson starts with an exercise: write a short passage, the AI teacher reads it and explains what works and what doesn’t, then you rewrite it and see how much you’ve improved. If you have doubts or disagree, you can ask for clarification.

Sequels and prequels
Your novel is finished, but the story isn’t. Upload a book you’ve already written and create its sequel, or tell what happened before. The characters and the world of the original novel come with you, and you start your story again from wherever it needs to begin.

And for every author:

From the first paragraph to print

Chapters and formattable text, a cover description ready to generate, layout, synopsis and format. Export to txt, html, epub, pdf or docx whenever you like, so you can print and sell your work directly on whichever external channels you prefer.

In your language, in your voice
The interface is available in 11 languages — but you write your novel in whichever language you choose, regardless of the interface language. Every section can also be read aloud.

Full control over your published books

You decide the cover price of the books you publish on CiaoNovel Reader, even free if you prefer, and you can withdraw them from sale at any time. To guarantee a pleasant reading experience, readers who have already bought or downloaded a book can keep reading it for a further 60 days after withdrawal.

Once published, books stay on sale indefinitely even if your subscription has expired, letting you keep earning from your work (you can still remove them from the Showcase at any time if you want).

A Premium subscription is required to publish on CiaoNovel Reader.
