About NovelAI
NovelAI combines a story-writing space with an image generator. The story side is built to co-write with the author, keeping track of worlds and characters, and currently runs on GLM 4.6. The image side uses NovelAI Diffusion V5, which generates anime-style characters and scenes and can produce full comic pages.
It suits fiction writers, role-play and interactive story fans, and people making anime art. Both tools can be started for free, with paid plans for more use.
