InkOS

An AI writing assistant that helps plan, write, review and revise novels, scripts and interactive stories.

New this week

What it does

InkOS is an AI agent system for creative writing. It can help with long serialized novels, short stories, scripts, storyboards, interactive story games and long translations, all from one workspace.

It keeps track of world-building, characters, plot threads and past chapters so long works stay consistent. It can suggest several possible story branches before you write the next chapter, run reviews and make revisions while keeping earlier drafts.

You connect it to an AI model provider of your choice, including local models through LM Studio. It works through a browser workspace, a text-based terminal screen or commands, and its main README is in Chinese with an English version available.

Who it's for

Novelists, scriptwriters and storytellers who want AI help with long creative projects.

Can I use it without coding?

With some setup. It installs with a few commands and needs an AI model account or a local model. New to this? Start here.

Can I run it?
