About inkos

InkOS is an AI agent for long novels, short stories, scripts and storyboards. You work in one place: a web Studio, a terminal UI, or the CLI. It keeps characters, settings and foreshadowing straight across many chapters. The 2.0 dev build has mostly Chinese docs, and API keys cost money.

Best for: Novelists and drama writers who need an agent to keep characters and foreshadowing consistent across a long series.

What it does

  • Writes chapters, short stories, scripts and storyboards from one workbench
  • Ships 19 built-in skills (SKILL.md files) for writing, review, translation and covers
  • Keeps story state in JSON plus a rebuildable SQLite search index
  • Records review notes on continuity, foreshadowing, pacing and emotional arcs
  • Routes different agents, like writer and auditor, to different models
  • Exports a whole book, or EPUB for phones and Kindle
