Type is a web-based document editor with AI woven directly into the writing surface, letting you summon writing commands and an iterative chat without leaving the page. It targets long-form work — books, screenplays, and stories — with character, scene, and world-building tools and drafts up to 150,000 words. A free perpetual tier covers drafts, with paid plans for power users.
