Questions about Anderbuch.

What is Anderbuch?

An interactive novel written with AI. You type what your character does in your own words, the story writes the next page, and a persistent world remembers what you did.

Is it like AI Dungeon?

It is in the same family: you write, an AI continues the story. Anderbuch is built around reading and memory: it writes pages of prose, keeps a record of promises, secrets and debts, and tracks what each person believes. The comparison page goes through the differences.

Does it remember long stories?

Yes. The world keeps a record of what happened, separate from the text, so a promise made hundreds of pages ago can still come due.

Which languages does it speak?

English and German.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, in the browser on any phone. Your shelf and your page follow you between the web and your phone.

How is it different from a chatbot?

It reads like a novel: pages of prose with a narrator, not a conversation. The world keeps its own record of events, beliefs, secrets and debts, so a promise from hundreds of pages ago can still come due, and you decide everything your character does.

Can I listen to my story?

Yes. A story can be read aloud by a cast of AI voices, each character in their own. While you listen you can also say your next move out loud, hands-free. Listening draws on your plan’s monthly allowance.

Which languages and devices does it support?

English and German. Anderbuch runs in the browser on computers and phones. The ready-made Originals are written in English.

Who owns my stories?

What you write stays yours, and you can download every story at any time. You get a lasting, worldwide right to use the AI-written text however you like. AI-written text is often not protected by copyright under current law, and section 6 of the Terms has the details.

What happens to my stories? Do you train on them?

We never sell your data and never use your stories for advertising. We do not train on your stories, and the Storyteller voice is called with training explicitly disabled. There are two exceptions, both off unless you switch them on and both revocable: “Help train our writer” lets us use finished passages, without any link to you, for our own model, and the optional Muse voice is provided on terms that let Meta train on those stories. You can export and delete everything at any time.

What if Anderbuch closes?

Your stories are yours, and they leave with you. If Anderbuch ever closes, every reader gets at least 90 days’ notice and every story back as a file. You don’t have to wait for that: every story can be exported at any time, and your whole account from Settings.

What about mature content?

Anderbuch is for adults: you must be 18 or older to use it. You choose the content level per story. The mature level (18+) is opt-in and covers darker, more graphic themes; romance fades to black, and sexual content involving minors or explicit sexual content is never allowed, in any world, for any reason.

Can I bring my own model key (BYOK)?

Yes, on the Your own key plan (€15 a month incl. VAT). Connect OpenRouter in one click, or paste an OpenRouter or DeepInfra key. The Storyteller is written on your key, and your provider’s terms and costs apply to that writing; we run the world around it. The key is stored encrypted and used only for your passages. If it is refused or runs out of credit, the passage stops and says so; it is never written on our keys instead.

How do I cancel?

Anytime, from your account settings: it opens the secure customer portal where you manage payment and cancellation. You keep your plan until the end of the billing period, and your stories stay readable on the free plan.

What does it cost? Is there a free plan?

Reader is free: enough to start a world and find out whether the product is for you, with reading and export unmetered. Reader+ is €8 a month, Novelist €15 and Your own key €15 plus your provider’s bill for the writing (prices include VAT). Reading and downloading never cost anything on any plan; the plans differ in how much new story is written each month.
