## What it is
Novel is an open-source, headless Notion-style WYSIWYG rich text editor built on Tiptap and ProseMirror, with AI-powered autocompletion via the OpenAI API. It ships as an npm package for React (with community packages for Svelte and Vue) plus a demo Next.js app and a VSCode extension.

## Use cases
- add a Notion-style WYSIWYG editor to a React app
- rich text editor with AI autocompletion
- headless editor with slash commands
- build a Notion clone editor
- embed an AI writing assistant in a web app
- markdown-friendly editor for Next.js

## When to choose
- you want a Notion-like editing experience in React with slash commands and AI completions
- you need a headless Tiptap-based editor you can style and extend
- you're on Next.js/Vercel and want a one-click deployable editor demo

## When to avoid
- you need a non-React framework without relying on community-maintained packages
- you want a fully batteries-included editor with no OpenAI API key or backend setup
- you need a plain lightweight text editor without AI features
