About Type

Type (type.ai) is a modern word processor with an AI assistant built into the editor, so you can draft, rewrite and get feedback without copying text into a chatbot. It saves details about your characters, settings and scenes to give more specific suggestions, lets you set custom writing rules for your style, and includes version history, keyboard shortcuts and offline mode. Drafts export to DOCX, PDF or a view-only link, and it can generate a narrated audio track of your text. Plans use credits: a free tier comes with a fixed set of credits that never expire, while Basic, Pro and Max add monthly credits for longer works or several books a year, all with access to models from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google. A 30-day money-back guarantee covers the first payment. Type is a good fit for writers who want one clean place to write and edit with AI; it lacks the deep planning tools of dedicated novel software.

Best for: Writers of books and scripts who want AI help inside a clean, modern editor.
