See It In Action
Here's what a TaleSmith story session looks like. You select or type what your character does, and the AI responds with what happens next.
The old door creaks open. A dimly lit room stretches before you — dusty bookshelves line the walls. In the far corner, a figure writes by candlelight.
I examine the nearest bookshelf, looking for anything out of place.
You scan the shelves. One book stands out — its spine worn smooth. As you reach for it, the figure speaks without looking up: "I wouldn't touch that one if I were you."

Not Your Typical Choose-Your-Adventure
TaleSmith goes beyond branching paths. Every story is generated in real-time, so no two playthroughs are ever the same.
Play Any Character
Every scenario has multiple characters you can play as — and you can switch between them mid-story. Investigate as the detective, then switch to the suspect to see what they're hiding. The same events look completely different depending on who you are.
Say Anything
Suggested actions help guide you through the story, but you're never locked into them. Type whatever you want your character to say or do — interrogate a witness, pick a lock, bluff your way past a guard, or do something the story never anticipated. The AI adapts to whatever you throw at it.
A World That Remembers
The characters remember what you've said and done. Make a promise early on, and someone will hold you to it later. Betray an ally, and they won't trust you the next time you need their help. Your choices have consequences that ripple through the entire story.

Hi, I'm Geoffrey Reemer. I built TaleSmith because I believe interactive stories are one of the most exciting things AI can do — and I wanted to make it accessible to everyone, not just gamers or tech enthusiasts.
TaleSmith is free to use and your stories are yours to keep. This is a passion project in active development — I'm building it in the open and improving it based on player feedback.
Have questions, ideas, or just want to say hi? I'd love to hear from you.
