The novel you're carrying deserves to reach the end.
Tolkien spent decades on the genealogies of Middle-earth. Tolstoy kept a whole notebook just for his characters. Alain Damasio filled entire binders for Les Furtifs before writing the first line. No long novel has ever held together without an architecture beneath it. Extypis doesn't reinvent any of that: it brings onto the screen what novelists have always done — outlines, sheets, scenes, worlds — and quietly slips in an AI as discreet as it is useful, one that stays silent while you write.
The outline
Your outline, your scenes, your storyboard — always in plain sight.
By chapter fourteen, your novel slips away from you — and so does your outline.
Three proven architectures (simple, Save the Cat, hero's circle) or a free outline. Move a scene, the outline follows. The way Flaubert crossed out in pencil — except here, nothing is lost.
From the first spark to a delivered manuscript.
Catch the spark wherever it strikes, build a world that holds, keep an outline that doesn't smother the project, write in the order that suits you, call on the AI without letting it take over, revise before you're exhausted, ship a book worthy of the work you put in.
The blocks on a long novel are almost never inspiration problems.
Every novelist falls for it: "I have no inspiration" is almost always the polite translation of "I didn't know where I was going, I no longer know where I am, so I no longer know where to go next." Once the method is in place, inspiration comes back — right where it belongs.
Three solid pillars, instead of one blurry pile of features.
Hold the structure as the novel grows. Carry the editorial work without smothering the voice. Ship a manuscript as clean as something out of a print shop. That's what a long project asks for — nothing more, nothing less.
The novel stays manageable while it keeps changing.
Extypis is strongest when a novel grows, shifts, sharpens and starts producing real internal dependencies — characters who drift, arcs that intertwine, thematic threads to hold across three hundred pages.
An AI that suggests, never replaces.
On every generation, Extypis AI reads your outline, your sheets and the scenes already written. Where a generic AI starts from scratch on every prompt, ours keeps the coherence from chapter 1 to the final chapter — and stays quiet until you call.
The manuscript ships clean, ready for hands that matter.
Finishing tools matter as much as drafting tools: versions, readability, front matter, exports — they should save time precisely when time is scarce.
Give your project a real reading address.
Once the text is ready, you don't have to leave Extypis to find your first readers. Publish in one click on the public catalog and give your book a clean, readable, shareable page.
Published directly on Extypis — no fees, no middleman.
Publishing opens a dedicated page for your project: cover, title page, chapters, table of contents. The content is frozen at publication, so your readers always see a stable version while you keep working. You decide when to push a new version.
A reading page for each project
Customizable URL, title page, cover, table of contents and chapter-by-chapter navigation.
A catalog that helps readers find your book
Your project can appear in the public catalog, categories, subcategories and trending page — or stay accessible only through the direct link.
Readers who can actually react
Readers can comment chapter by chapter, mention a specific paragraph, and you get notified for every feedback.
A stable version without breaking your work
The text is frozen at publication time. You keep writing on your side, then decide when to push an update.
Everything Extypis unlocks for you
Hold your story, from outline to final page.
Narrative tools you won't find elsewhere — turn a tangle of ideas into a structure that holds.
AI that suggests, never replaces
The AI permanently sees your whole project — outline, sheets, scenes already written. Every rewrite, every completion, every suggestion, every cover stays consistent with your entire work, and at no extra cost or setup. You approve every word.
Estimates if you only use this feature. Credits are shared across every AI tool.
Ship a book, not a file.
From manuscript to finished book: professional exports, academic citations, direct publishing.
Analyse and refine your prose
Style tools that go beyond the spell-checker: readability, poetic meter, repetitions, connectors, passive voice.
Daily writing comfort
Everything that makes long-form writing sustainable: shortcuts, templates, anchored notes, versions, goals.
Lifetime updates
Every future Extypis innovation included, no extra cost, no paywall.
Backing an indie project
Extypis is an independent, self-funded project — no ads, no venture capital.
Human support
Got a question? You talk directly to the creator, never a chatbot.
Free to begin, free to finish. Real pricing when your project demands it.
The writing itself stays entirely yours. The subscription opens, when the moment comes, access to AI models stronger on long-form prose, more credits, and the depth of use that an ambitious manuscript needs.
The questions novelists tend to ask before stepping in.
Will Extypis AI write my novel for me?
No. Damasio is right on this point: an AI that writes in your place erases your voice. Ours stays silent while you write, and only becomes a real sparring partner if you call on it. When you're deep in a chapter, you inevitably forget things — a character introduced three scenes earlier, a date slipped in at the beginning, a thread of consistency to hold. The AI doesn't forget: it knows your entire project — sheets, chapters, scenes, outline — and stays stoic, ready to step in only when summoned. You keep final approval, on every word.
Does Extypis AI really know my novel?
Yes. On every generation, it relies on the outline, the character sheets and the scenes already written. Where a generic AI starts from scratch on every prompt, Extypis keeps the full memory of the project so that suggestions stay coherent from chapter 1 to the final chapter.
Which AI features are actually available for fiction?
Sidebar writing assistant, targeted rewrite, inline continuation, contextual ghost completion, narrative-element generation (characters, places, objects, conflicts), cross-chapter continuity check, editorial pitch, title page, cover. All of them rely on full knowledge of your world.
If I write out of order, does the tool still hold up?
Yes. Scenes stay independent, reorderable, previewable in the storyboard, then assemble cleanly at export. You can write the epilogue first.
Is the AI the same for free and subscribed users?
No, and that goes for both text and image. On editorial-sensitive tasks (long rewrites, continuity check, editorial pitch, AI assistant), a subscription automatically switches the AI cascade to Claude Sonnet 4.6, the strongest model on French prose. Free users stay on Mistral, Llama, Cerebras and Gemini: fast and excellent for drafting, more modest on finishing and long-form consistency. For image generation (book covers), free users get Flux schnell while subscribers access Flux 1.1 Pro and DALL-E 3.
Are my texts used to train an AI?
No. Your texts are never sent to the models for training. None of the AI providers used by Extypis (Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral, Groq, Gemini) has access to your content outside of the punctual API call required for the requested generation. The APIs are configured without training opt-in, and no data is retained on Extypis' side beyond what is strictly required to run the product.
Can I export a clean manuscript without paying?
Yes, to start seriously. Paid plans then extend AI usage, quotas and depth once the project becomes more demanding.
Is this only for fiction?
No. Extypis also serves essayists, academics, poets, screenwriters and bloggers. But this page is deliberately dedicated to the novel, because it's on long fiction projects that Extypis makes the biggest difference — narrative outline, narrative elements, cross-chapter consistency, scene-based writing.
The novel you're carrying deserves more than a word processor and three side documents.
Start by laying down the structure. Add the AI where it genuinely helps. Keep the whole project inside a single workshop that still holds once the book becomes large.
