What are the limits of using SPIRAL?

SPIRAL uses a credit system for AI-powered story generation:

  • Each AI generation (plot suggestions, dialogue creation, etc.) uses credits
  • More complex or longer generations may use more credits
  • Manual writing and editing do not consume credits
  • All users start with complimentary credits upon signup

How do I get more credits?

You can acquire more credits in several ways:

  • Pro Subscription: $4.99/month for 500 credits monthly with 50+ projects
  • Premium Subscription: $9.99/month for 1,000 credits monthly, unlimited stories, & upcoming newest features

How does the AI work?

SPIRAL is powered by advanced Large Language Models (LLMs), specifically Claude, to create high-quality story content:

  • Our platform uses Anthropic's Claude, a powerful AI assistant trained on a diverse range of literary works
  • Claude helps generate creative plot elements, dialogue, and scene descriptions based on your inputs
  • The AI can understand narrative structure, character development, and dialogue patterns
  • You always maintain complete creative control - AI suggestions can be edited, modified, or rejected

Our AI is designed to be a creative partner, not a replacement for human creativity. It's there to help overcome creative blocks, suggest ideas, and help you craft compelling narratives while you retain full ownership of the final work.
