The main difference
Type.ai is a general writing editor with AI built in, for any kind of document.
Scriptava is made for long fiction. It keeps the characters, timeline and plot threads, your AI reads them before every chapter, and each chapter is reviewed before you read it.
When Type.ai may suit you better
If you write articles, essays or shorter pieces and want AI help inside a document editor, Type.ai is built for that.
When Scriptava suits you better
- You’re writing a novel or a series.
- You already pay for Claude or ChatGPT.
- You want the AI to remember the whole book.
- You want a file ready for Kindle Create at the end.
