Plot Generator

An AI plot generator helps writers develop structured story outlines from rough ideas. Type's plot generator instantly visualizes your story's three-act structure with an interactive plot arc, then generates a detailed outline with all nine key beats - from opening to resolution. It's the fastest way to go from idea to story structure.

Just describe your story idea - paste notes, character sketches, or even rough scenes. The AI first maps your story onto an interactive visualization showing all nine plot beats across three acts. Hover over any point to see that beat's details. Then a complete prose outline streams in below with expanded descriptions for each section.

Yes, completely free. No signup, no credit card required. Generate unlimited plot outlines at no cost. When you're ready to expand your plot into a full manuscript, Type offers a powerful AI writing editor built for long-form content.

The plot arc visualization shows your story structure at a glance - nine beats mapped across three acts with proper pacing (25% setup, 50% confrontation, 25% resolution). Hover over any node to see that specific beat from your story. Click to jump to the full description below. It helps you see how tension rises and falls throughout your narrative.

Anything you have! Paste rough notes, character sketches, setting details, themes, or existing scenes. The AI extracts key elements and structures them into a complete plot. Even a single sentence like "a detective in 1920s Chicago" works - the more detail you provide, the more tailored your outline.

The nine beats are: Opening (status quo), Inciting Incident (the disruption), First Plot Point (point of no return), Rising Action (first obstacles), Midpoint (the twist), Complications (stakes escalate), Dark Moment (all is lost), Climax (final confrontation), and Resolution (new normal). Each beat drives your story forward.

Click "Open in Type" to import your outline directly into Type's AI writing editor. Type is built for long-form writing - expand each beat into full chapters, develop scenes with AI assistance, and write manuscripts up to 130,000 words. It's the complete journey from plot outline to finished book.

All genres: romance, mystery, thriller, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, literary fiction, young adult, memoir, and more. The three-act structure is universal - the AI adapts specific beats and conventions to match your chosen genre.

Absolutely. The outline is a starting point, not a constraint. Modify any beat, swap plot points, adjust pacing, or use it as inspiration for something different. When you open in Type, you have full editing control to reshape the story however you want.

Type is an AI writing editor built specifically for authors. Unlike generic tools, Type handles documents up to 130,000 words, offers AI chat for deep edits, inline AI commands, version history, and exports to Word, PDF, or AI-narrated audiobook. It's where plot outlines become published books.
