Write your novel with an AI that remembers every page: EPOS-AI is the specialised AI writing assistant for fiction authors. Unlike ChatGPT, Sudowrite, or NovelCrafter, EPOS-AI permanently stores your complete manuscript — up to 120,000 words of active context depending on your plan. Characters stay consistent, plotlines stay coherent, export is print-ready as Word, EPUB, and PDF. And with Autopilot we even help you publish. GDPR compliant. Swiss servers. From $29 per month.
Because you need more than chats that vanish with every new tab.
Why fiction authors switch to EPOS-AI — an honest comparison
Short answer: For English-speaking fiction authors, EPOS-AI 2026 is the best choice — permanent long-term memory for complete manuscripts, Swiss GDPR-compliant data protection, and direct EPUB export for Amazon KDP. Sudowrite has no comparable memory system. NovelCrafter lacks true AI memory. ChatGPT forgets after 8,000 words.

EPOS-AI grew from the real needs of professional fiction authors
Founder, Fiction Author & AI Developer · Lucerne, Switzerland
As a fiction author, I've experienced first-hand how frustrating it is when the AI forgets your protagonist after 30 pages. I didn't build EPOS-AI as a tech product, but as the tool I needed while writing my six-volume novel series. Over ten years of experience as an author flows into every feature.
Expertise: Novel structure, character development, long-form narrative, AI integration for creative processes, self-publishing (Amazon KDP, IngramSpark), English & German publishing landscape, synopsis & query letter writing.
Everything fiction authors need to know about EPOS-AI
ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are general-purpose AIs — they forget everything with every new conversation. For novels, they fall short because they lose the beginning of your manuscript after 8,000 words. EPOS-AI permanently stores your entire project history — stop today, pick up exactly where you left off tomorrow. Add exclusive author tools: character consistency checking, tension curves, logic error detector, AI text detection tool (Studio), synopsis generator, and print-ready export.
Yes — that's what EPOS-AI was built for. The long-term memory grows with your plan: Starter: up to 22,500 words, Professional: up to 60,000 words, Studio: up to 112,500 words — equivalent to a complete novel. Whether fantasy epic, thriller, romance, or science fiction: EPOS-AI remembers every character, every plot thread, every detail — from page 1 to page 500. For trilogies, we recommend the Studio plan.
Absolutely. Your unpublished manuscripts are the most valuable thing an author possesses. EPOS-AI stores all data encrypted on Swiss servers in Zurich and Zug. We comply with Swiss data protection law (DSG) — stricter than GDPR. EPOS-AI itself never uses your manuscripts for AI training. Content is transmitted to the Anthropic API for processing — Anthropic explicitly excludes training use in their commercial API terms. You remain the sole owner of your work.
EPOS-AI is genre-independent and works for: fantasy novels, thrillers and crime fiction, science fiction, historical fiction, romance, young adult, children's books, non-fiction, biography, memoir, screenplays, and short stories. The style analysis recognises your writing voice and delivers concrete feedback — regardless of genre.
One click exports your manuscript as: Word .docx (with automatic table of contents, page numbers, and chapter structure — publisher-ready, all plans) or as EPUB (for Amazon KDP, Kobo, and other self-publishing platforms, all plans). The professionally formatted PDF export is included in all paid plans — ready for publisher submissions. No additional software required.
Start with 7 days free (approximately 10 AI requests to try it out) — add your credit card, which is only charged after the trial. If EPOS-AI hasn't changed your writing, cancel beforehand: one click, no explanation needed. We remind you 24 hours before expiry by email. All subscriptions are monthly — no annual contract, no hidden fees.
For English-speaking fiction authors: Yes — for several reasons. First: Swiss privacy protection (GDPR + DSG) instead of US Cloud Act. Sudowrite and NovelCrafter are US-based tools. Second: long-term memory of up to 120,000 words (Studio plan) is unmatched — Sudowrite has no comparable system for complete novel manuscripts. Third: EPUB export for Amazon KDP is built directly in. Fourth: AI editing at 3 levels (proofreading, style, content) with your full manuscript as context.
EPOS-AI writes with you, not instead of you. It supports your creative process: helps with revision, analyses weaknesses, keeps characters consistent, and gives critical feedback. Fully automated novel generation is neither our goal nor the reality — your voice, your story, your creativity remain at the core. EPOS-AI makes them better.
EPOS-AI uses Claude by Anthropic — one of the world's most capable AI models, particularly suited to nuanced, creative writing. Claude is widely regarded as exceptional for literary texts, differentiated feedback, and context-sensitive understanding. Your data passes through our Swiss servers — encrypted and GDPR compliant. EPOS-AI does not use your texts for AI training. Processing occurs via Anthropic's commercial API (no training per Anthropic's terms — Privacy Policy).
Getting started takes under 5 minutes: create an account, start a new project, enter title and genre — and go. No tutorial, no onboarding marathon. Just start writing.
Yes. You can import existing manuscripts as Word .docx, .txt, or directly as text into EPOS-AI. Chapters are automatically recognised and imported with structure — all AI features (character consistency check, style analysis, tension curves) are immediately available for your manuscript.
What fiction authors say about EPOS-AI
"I spent 3 years writing my fantasy novel. EPOS-AI is the first AI assistant that still remembers after chapter 40 that my protagonist has a scar on his left shoulder."
Thomas K., Fantasy Author"The critical sparring partner stopped me multiple times from falling back on clichés. It was uncomfortable — and exactly right. My novel is so much better for it."
Sabrina M., Thriller Author"As a self-publisher, the EPUB export is a game-changer. I upload my manuscripts directly to KDP — without going through Word or Calibre. Saves me hours."
Markus F., Self-Publisher, 12 NovelsFor fiction authors worldwide, built with a genuine understanding of the craft
Whether you write in New York, London, Sydney or Toronto: EPOS-AI speaks your language, literally and figuratively. All assistant texts, analyses and feedback appear in English.
As a Swiss company we understand what fiction authors need: GDPR-compliant data protection, transparent USD pricing, support in your time zone, and real people — no ticket systems, no AI chatbots.
Who is EPOS-AI ideal for? For fiction authors, first-time authors, self-publishers, indie authors, screenwriters, short story writers, non-fiction authors, ghostwriters, and all who write professionally or semi-professionally. Whether fantasy, thriller, crime, romance, science fiction, historical fiction, or young adult: EPOS-AI adapts to your genre and your style.
