Conteur — All-in-One AI Novel Writing Software

Stop Juggling Apps. Start Writing Your Book.

There's no shortage of novel-writing tools, and some of them are genuinely great at what they do. But each one does only one thing well.

So you plot in one app. You draft with AI in another. You edit and format in a third. Then you hunt down yet another tool just to create your EPUB. Along the way you're copying, pasting, re-importing, and losing momentum every time you switch.

Conteur changes that. Worldbuilding, drafting, revision, formatting, and publishing, all in one place, from the first spark of an idea to the finished book.

AI Wasn't Designed to Write Your Novel... Until Now

Today's AI assistants are amazing for answering questions, finding recipes, solving problems, or even creating images. But writing a novel is a completely different challenge.

A great story has hundreds of moving parts—characters, relationships, locations, timelines, plot twists, world-building, and countless little details that need to stay consistent from the first page to the last. Traditional AI assistants only know what you tell them in the current conversation. If you don't remind them of important details, they simply can't use them.

That's where Conteur changes everything.

Conteur is built specifically for authors. Its powerful Story Memory remembers the important details of your entire story, so your characters stay consistent, your world stays organized, and your ideas are always within reach. Better yet, it helps you remember them too.

Need help creating a fantasy kingdom? Building unforgettable characters? Developing compelling plot twists? Conteur's built-in automations guide you through the creative process, helping you design your world, strengthen your story, and keep every detail connected.

Stop fighting with AI that forgets your story. Start writing with AI that grows with it.

Write Anytime—with Free Unlimited AI Built In

Unlike many writing platforms that charge for every AI request, Conteur includes a free built-in AI assistant. (Powered by Qwen 2.5-7b) That's ready to help whenever inspiration strikes. Because it runs directly on your computer, you can write online or offline and enjoy unlimited AI usage with no monthly usage limits.

From brainstorming new ideas and developing characters to outlining, drafting, and editing, Conteur's built-in AI works seamlessly with the tools and features designed specifically for novelists.

Want even more power? Conteur also lets you use OpenAI or Anthropic for a subscription. This unlocks access to some of the world's most advanced AI models and enables additional cloud-powered features for writers who want the latest AI capabilities.

Whether you stick with the unlimited built-in AI or premium cloud models, the choice is always yours.
Unlimited AI when you need it. Premium AI when you want it. The choice is yours.
