ChaptGPT/Open AI Playground
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an AI language model developed by OpenAI that can generate human-like text responses, answer questions, assist with tasks, and engage in conversation on a wide range of topics.
Who and what are they for?
Everyone and every task. Both are incredibly versatile.
Main Benefits
- Chapt GPT is free with an unlimited word count while Open AI playground features a pay-as-you-go model.
- Open AI Playground does allow users to edit past responses, which Chapt GPT does not.
Complexity
There is a bit of a learning curve here. You will have to become adept at writing complex prompts to get the most out of either of these. But if you do, there’s not task you can’t give either of these in helping brainstorm, storyboard, edit, or write your novel.

If you’re trying to write in multiple languages, Sudowrite is the clear winner.
If you want instant feedback and developmental editing, go with Quarkle.
If you want to stay in control and you need an easy way to keep track of your characters, Verb is a great solution with a low cost.
