An AI story generator for stories that run to chapters

Type a line about someone who wants something, and an AI story generator will give you a story. The trouble starts when you want the next part, and the part after that, and the story has forgotten who anyone is. INKFLOW is made for stories that keep going.

From one line it writes your story in full chapters, in the voice you pick, and keeps a record of every name and event, so chapter three still knows what happened in chapter one.

Write my first chapter free

From a prompt to a story you can keep

1
Write the prompt
Who the story follows, what they want and what is in their way. A genre helps, and so does a place.
2
Choose how it sounds
There are 9 story voices, from a read-aloud children's voice to classic noir. Each one has a sample paragraph to read before you choose.
3
Read the chapters
Three chapters are written for free, with no card, and you can download them as Word or EPUB files.
4
Stop, or let it grow
Stop there and you have a short story. Carry on in the app and it can grow into a novella or a novel.

What a longer story needs

A memory for names

Every chapter adds to a record of who is who, what has happened and who knows it. The next chapter is written with that record and checked against it.

A plan before the prose

A short prompt becomes a plan first: where the story starts, where it turns and how it ends, so the middle does not wander off.

Prose that reads like a person wrote it

Natural dialogue and sentences of different lengths. Each chapter is scanned for the stock phrases that machine-written stories lean on.

Any genre you name

Mystery, romance, fantasy, horror, science fiction, comedy and historical stories, among others. Name the genre and the writer follows its conventions.

The story voices, and what each one suits

Friendly children's story: Picture books, early readers, bedtime stories, young middle grade.

Cosy & warm: Cosy mysteries, feel-good fiction, family sagas, gentle romance.

Rich & literary: Literary fiction, book-club novels, historical fiction.

Cinematic: Crime, police procedurals, legal and medical dramas, mainstream thrillers.

Thriller: fast & punchy: Action thrillers, page-turners, military and spy-action (fast and physical, never slow and talky).

Questions

Is the story generator free?

The first three chapters of one story are free, about 10,000 words, with no card. It is not an endless free supply: after that, a monthly plan carries the story on.

Can it write a short story?

Yes. Stop after one chapter, or three, and you have a short story or a novelette. It writes in whole chapters rather than a few paragraphs at a time.

Do I need an account?

A free account with your email address, so the chapters are saved for you and we can email you when chapter one is ready. No card and no payment details.

Who owns the story?

You do. The text written for you is yours to use, including commercially. It is AI-generated, so if you publish it, stores such as Amazon ask you to say so.
