Turn a rough premise into a finished story.

You provide a brief story idea or premise, choose a genre, and the tool expands it into a draft with characters, plot, and dialogue. You can regenerate for a different take or continue the story in another pass.

We offer 5 genres: Creative (general fiction), Horror (suspense and terror), Romance (love stories), Sci-Fi (science fiction and futurism), and Children's (age-appropriate stories for kids). Creative, Horror, and Romance are free; Sci-Fi and Children's require a paid plan.

Your prompt is processed to generate the response in the tool. Review Coda One's current privacy and terms pages for the latest policy details before using the generator for sensitive material.

Free stories are typically 300-800 words — enough for a complete short story or a strong opening chapter. Paid plans support longer outputs up to 2,000-5,000 words depending on your subscription tier.

Check the current pricing and terms pages before you use generated stories in a commercial project. Usage rights and plan allowances can change over time.

The more detail you include in your prompt, the closer the story matches your vision. Specify character names, setting, key plot points, emotional tone, and any elements you want included or avoided. If the first result isn't quite right, click Regenerate to get a different take with the same prompt.

Yes. After generating a story, click "Continue this story" and the tool will pre-fill your prompt with the story's ending as context. You can then add more direction and generate the next section, building up a longer narrative in multiple passes.

The model generates fresh text from your prompt instead of returning a saved template, but AI output can still overlap with familiar tropes or phrasing. Review and revise the draft before you publish or submit it.

Yes. You can describe the tone, pacing, and atmosphere you want in the prompt, such as noir, gothic, playful, or cinematic. It works best when you describe the qualities you want instead of relying on a single author name.

Yes. The tool is content-moderated and won't generate explicit sexual content, graphic gore, or content that sexualizes minors. Dark themes like violence, death, and moral ambiguity are fine — the Horror genre specifically leans into them. If your prompt gets blocked, reframe it with less explicit language while keeping the dramatic intent.

Include it in your prompt: "Write a 1,000-word horror story about..." The AI will aim for that length, though free-tier outputs are capped at roughly 800 words. For longer stories — 2,000 to 5,000 words — you'll need a paid plan, or use the "Continue this story" feature to build the narrative in sections.

Partially. The tool defaults to English, but you can prompt it to write in another language — "Write a romance story in Spanish about..." works reasonably well for major languages like Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese. Quality drops for less common languages, and the AI may occasionally slip back into English mid-story.

The tool is optimized for prose fiction, not script format. It won't automatically output proper screenplay formatting (INT./EXT. sluglines, action lines, character cues). You can ask it to "write only dialogue" or "write in script style," and it'll get close, but for proper Final Draft or Fountain-compatible output you'd need to reformat the result manually.
