Why teams switch
Memory that keeps up
Long chats drift when memory is a note you maintain. Paige updates the Story Bible as the story moves and reads it every turn.
Your characters, kept private
Characters you import or create stay in your account. Nothing is listed publicly unless you share it with other writers.
From chat to chapters
Keep the scenes you love as chapters, edit them, hear them narrated, and export the whole story.
Frequently asked questions
Is WriteWithPaige a good JanitorAI alternative?
If you want to write longer stories with characters that stay consistent, yes. If you mainly want to browse and chat with thousands of community characters, JanitorAI has the bigger library.
Can I move my JanitorAI characters?
If you have the character card file (.png or .json), choose Import a character in your projects list. If you only have the text, paste the description into Import in the Story Bible.
Do I need an AI key?
No. AI use is included in every plan. You can add your own key if you want to.
Is WriteWithPaige free?
Yes. The Free plan has a daily allowance that resets every day. No credit card needed.
