InkOS
VerifiedOpen-source AI agent for writing novels, scripts, and interactive stories.
What is InkOS?
InkOS is an agent-based platform designed specifically for storytellers who need consistent world-building, character tracking, and iterative editing over long projects. It organizes content into protected and compressible layers so earlier chapters do not overwhelm later ones.
Users create projects through natural-language commands or a visual Studio interface. The agent handles drafting, auditing, revising, cover generation, and state tracking while maintaining a shared memory store that works across sessions and interfaces.
It targets novelists, scriptwriters, fan-fiction authors, and game designers who want professional-grade tooling without leaving their preferred terminal or browser workflow.
What you can build with InkOS
Long-form novel writing
Start with a brief, generate world and character bibles, then produce chapters through a cycle of drafting, review, and revision while the agent keeps context organized.
Open-world interactive fiction
Describe a setting in natural language to create a playable world with items, relationships, time progression, and clickable choices that the agent maintains automatically.
Short story and cover generation
Produce complete short stories with outlines, summaries, and cover prompts, then optionally generate images using configured services.
