A Jupyter notebook-based tool that chains GPT-4/Claude 3 and Stable Diffusion API calls to generate complete fantasy novels from a user prompt, including cover art, and compiles them into EPUB files. It was created by Matt Shumer and gained popularity as a demonstration of long-form AI creative writing.

Use cases

  • generate a fantasy novel from a prompt
  • write an entire book with AI and export as epub
  • create chapter outlines and storylines with GPT-4
  • generate ebook cover art with stable diffusion
  • experiment with chained LLM calls for long-form writing
  • produce a multi-chapter novel in minutes

When to choose

  • you want a quick, end-to-end demo of AI novel generation producing an EPUB
  • you want a hackable notebook to experiment with multi-step LLM creative pipelines
  • you want to try the Claude 3 version for higher-quality prose

When to avoid

  • you need production-grade, controllable, or editable book-writing software
  • you want fine-grained editorial control over plot and characters
  • you cannot or will not pay for OpenAI/Anthropic API usage
