Type

Overview

Type is a word processor built for long-form creative writing, marketed as an intelligent editor for storytellers finishing a book, screenplay or story. AI generation, rewriting, tone adjustment and expand or condense tools sit directly inside the document rather than in a side chat, and a Notes feature holds the details of a story, characters, settings and scenes, so suggestions stay consistent with the world being written. Custom writing rules let an author capture the quirks of their own style, and documents run up to about 150,000 words, with longer manuscripts split across files. Finished work exports as DOCX or PDF, a view-only URL, or an AI-narrated audio track, and the editor also imports and edits existing Word and PDF files, works offline and keeps version history.

Best for authors and screenwriters who want AI help drafting and editing long-form fiction.

Type is aimed squarely at authors and screenwriters rather than marketers: its Notes system, custom writing rules and 150,000-word documents make it a home for fiction and long-form projects, where general copy tools and SEO writers are a poor fit. A permanent free plan lets writers start, and paid tiers scale purely by how much AI usage they need, from Basic for shorter pieces to Max for someone writing several books a year, with paid plans drawing on the latest models from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google. There are no team or collaboration features, so it is a solo writing tool, not a shared workspace.
