XtenTale
Our own product: a writing platform where every book keeps its own memory.
XtenTale is a product we are building ourselves at xtenlab. I design it, from the first Figma prototype to the guidelines the product is built on, and most of that work is the experience of writing next to an AI that knows the book. Try it at xinyou.app.
Help the writer remember, never write for them
A long novel holds hundreds of people, places and past events. Writers lose track of them, and most AI tools answer by writing for them. XtenTale keeps the writing in the writer’s hands and gives the book a memory instead.
The assistant stays beside the page
It works on what the writer selects: rewrite or expand a passage, catch typos, check a line against earlier chapters, or ask about the book’s people and events. Every answer appears next to the original, and nothing touches the manuscript until the writer chooses to replace it.
Every memory points to its source
As the book is read, its people, places and events are gathered into a memory, each linked to the passage it came from. When the reader is unsure whether two names belong to one person, it asks rather than guesses: same character, different characters, or not sure yet.
From words to pictures
The same memory feeds the visual tools. A character’s looks are drawn from the book’s own description, front, sides and back, and become the reference for rooms and video shots later on.
A quiet, literary look
Modern Oriental literary aesthetics for a professional tool: the empty space, layers and flow of ink wash, without copying traditional style. The reading and writing screens put clarity and comfort first.
