Novel Goggles
Novel Goggles is a web application that writers can use to plan or analyse their writing projects (fictional short stories, novels or book series), including the structure of their novel, description of characters and character development, world building, pace and tension, story arcs and the story timeline. In comparison to the competition, Novel Goggles provides a more comprehensive perspective of the user's creative writing projects. This is done by allowing the user a view of their creative world building and character development, integrated with a view of the overall technical structure of their novel. The narrative timeline is then integrated into this perspective, allowing the user a full view of the creative and technical aspects of their work and how this evolves over the timeline of their story. In summary, the user is provided a view that merges the creative and analytical view of their novel and shows how these elements evolve over the timeline of the story being told.

Fabula
Fabula is an experimental AI-powered co-creation tool developed by Google DeepMind to support writers in structuring, developing, and refining stories through an interactive and iterative process. Rather than acting as a traditional story generator, Fabula is designed to assist human creativity by helping users review, revise, and explore different versions of a story plan and script while maintaining full authorial control. It uses principles from classical narratology to guide the construction of narrative structure, enabling writers to build coherent plots, develop characters, and shape story arcs with AI-assisted suggestions. It allows users to navigate multiple levels of storytelling detail, from high-level plot outlines to more granular elements, making it adaptable to different writing styles, whether improvisational or highly structured. Powered by advanced language models, the tool generates coherent suggestions that help writers iterate on ideas.
