OpenFic
OpenFic is an AI-native writing tool for novels that helps authors build settings, design characters, and customize workflows.
OpenFic is an AI-native all-in-one writing tool designed specifically for novels. It helps authors manage world-building, characters, foreshadowing, and chapter details while keeping all project data saved locally. The software features a writing-optimized editor, semantic retrieval via vector-based agentic RAG for million-word projects, and multi-layer context management to lower usage costs. Users can integrate models from various providers or any OpenAI API-compatible model. It is built for writers of medium and long-form novels who want collaborative AI assistance rather than one-click generation.
