01
Begin with an idea
Explain what you can already imagine.
Start a brainstorm with a rough premise, a scene, or a few loose thoughts. Ando's questions help you find the story in it, and if you already know your story, you can skip straight to it.
Features that follow your story
A workspace for turning rough ideas into a real story.
Begin with whatever you can explain. Develop the characters, world, and direction. Then turn those decisions into organized chapters and prose you can edit.
Storiando is built around one connected project.
- Your idea begins the process
- Story parts stay organized
- You review every draft
- Your decisions shape what comes next
A guided storytelling workflow
From the idea in your head to a story you can read.
Storiando organizes its tools around the way a story grows—not around a collection of disconnected AI buttons.
02
Develop the people
Turn a character idea into someone you understand.
Build motivations, traits, and backstory from the person you pictured, then keep or change the details that shape their choices.
03
Develop the places
Build the world you can already see in your mind.
Give locations atmosphere and useful detail so the setting becomes clear on the page without demanding perfect descriptive language from you.
04
Find the shape
Give your ideas a direction before they become overwhelming.
Use a chapter outline to organize plot points and pacing. Review the shape of the story before turning it into full scenes.
05
Keep moving
Continue when you know the story but not the next sentence.
Use Ando and chapter suggestions when you are stuck. The next step stays connected to the direction you chose.
06
Refine and export
Move from a rough idea to a story you can take with you.
Review and edit the generated text as your draft develops. EPUB and PDF export are included with the Creator and Pro plans.
The story stays yours at every step.
Storiando can help with language, structure, and development. You review the work and decide what belongs in your story.
Brainstorm with Ando
Only have a spark? Start there.
Share a character, a scene, or a “what if”. Ando asks five short questions, each with three options: pick one, write your own answer, or let Ando suggest one. As you talk, a story blueprint fills in beside the conversation.
- A premise, characters, places, and a chapter outline, with a checklist of what is still undecided
- Suggestions stay suggestions until you accept them
- Ando checks the blueprint for gaps, and nothing becomes a story until you choose Create story
- Saved as you go, so you can pick it up again on any device

Add Storiando as a connector, sign in with your Storiando account, and keep working on your story from the chat. Nothing changes until you confirm it.
What your assistant writes uses your own ChatGPT or Claude subscription, not your Storiando AI credits. It needs a ChatGPT or Claude plan that lets you add connectors.
