Your story keeps growing. Your tools can't keep up.
StoryDev is a visual whiteboard and AI partner that holds your entire story world in context - so you can write forward instead of constantly looking back.
The fastest first win in StoryDev is not a blank document. Build a project map first: premise, characters, story spine, and the next scene you should write.
Turn the idea in your head into a one-sentence story promise the AI can build from.
2. Connect characters and pressure
Map who wants what, what blocks them, and where each relationship changes.
3. Leave with the next scene
Use the canvas and AI context to decide what to write next instead of restarting again.
Sound familiar?
"I'm 40,000 words in and can't remember what color eyes my protagonist has."
Your story has grown past what your brain can hold. That's not a failure - it's a scaling problem.
"I asked ChatGPT for help and spent 10 minutes re-explaining my entire plot."
Generic AI has no memory of your world. Every conversation starts from zero.
"My notes are in six different apps and none of them talk to each other."
Notion, Scrivener, Google Docs, sticky notes, and a voice memo from 2022. Sound right?
StoryDev fixes all three.

FAQ
Does the AI use my project context?
Yes. It references your elements, relationships, and conversation history when generating ideas.
Can I roll back changes?
Yes. StoryDev tracks versions so you can restore or pull from past ideas.
Can I import my notes?
Yes. Import documents and let the AI parse them into elements.
Do you support images?
Yes. AI image generation is included with Premium for characters, scenes, covers, and worlds. Standard focuses on planning, drafting, and revision without AI image generation.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Log in to StoryDev, open Account from the top-left StoryDev menu, go to Billing, and click Request a refund. We can usually refund recent purchases if the account has not been used much yet. If you have already created substantial story content or used AI features heavily, we may not be able to refund costs we have already incurred. You can cancel anytime so your subscription does not renew.
What AI model does it use?
StoryDev is built on leading AI models with a strong privacy stance — we don't train on your stories, ever. We may expand to additional models over time to give you the best results.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT starts every conversation fresh — you have to re-explain your characters, plot, and world every single time. StoryDev keeps your full story in context automatically. It's the difference between a writing partner who remembers everything and one who forgets between sessions.
Can I export to Word or Google Docs?
Yes. You can export your work when you're ready to move to your preferred writing tool.
