Build a life in a fictional world, meet AI companions, and see where it goes. Myrlo is AI interactive fiction built around one continuous life in a fictional world — not disposable chats, and not a story you throw away when the scene ends. Find a world that catches you. Choose a Pathway in. Meet Characters who already live there. Play in your own words — say what you want, take action, change direction — and keep going. What happens stays with your life. Everything weaves together. Stories, characters, places, and memories connect in one massive world people contribute to. You set a direction and still naturally run into what belongs there: familiar faces in new situations, places you’ve been, and lore that deepens as you explore. FIND A WORLD WORTH LIVING IN B rowse fantasy, science fiction, romance, mystery, drama, and more. Each Pathway drops you into a life already in motion — something to react to from the first message, not an empty chat. Come back to the same world and keep living. Enter new Stories as Threads inside your life, or follow what you find next without starting over from nothing. MEET CHARACTERS WHO LIVE THERE Explore Characters across Myrlo’s worlds — people with history, places, and relationships. Characters can appear across different genders and presentations while staying true to who they are at the core. Your Life keeps who you’ve met and what’s already happened between you. PLAY IN YOUR OWN WORDS There are no fixed dialogue choices. Write what you say and do. Ask questions. Take risks. Change your mind. Follow a lead or ignore it entirely. Pick a Myrlo narration model for balanced storytelling, richer detail, faster replies, or deeper reasoning. FOLLOW WHAT CONNECTS You don’t have to learn a system diagram. Stories aren’t isolated conversations. They’re part of a connected world — recurring Characters, familiar places, lore behind what you just lived, and another experience waiting somewhere else in the same world. Follow what interests you. Your life accumulates as you go. CREATE WHEN YOU’RE READY Create Characters and Stories inside the worlds you explore. Start with an idea and use Myrlo’s tools to shape Characters, develop new scenarios, and add more possibilities to a setting. Creators who go further can deepen a world with locations, lore, and stories for other people to live in. START FREE Basic roleplay is free and unlimited. Fragments are Myrlo’s premium currency for extras like premium AI models, image generation, and other enhanced features. Myrlo Premium adds expanded context and memory, more daily Fragments, premium models, and priority processing. Your life is just getting started. See what else is out there.

Talk to characters who remember. Give them a voice. Build worlds you control. Character Agent brings together AI character chat, roleplay, and hands-free conversation with editable memory and an AI agent that helps build and manage your worlds. Ask it to create characters and scenarios, revise lorebooks, update existing chats or characters, or change chat launchers—all by speaking or typing. Then bring your stories to life with pictures. YOUR CHARACTERS. YOUR MEMORY. • Characters remember your story: memories learn from your chats and recall relevant details when they matter. • Review, edit, pin, and delete memories. Import, export, and share memories as files, so you control what your characters know. • Attach memories to launchers and chats. Choose how often each memory learns and which model does the learning, including Apple Intelligence on device. • Keep chat summaries with your memories for story continuity. GO HANDS-FREE AND GIVE CHARACTERS A VOICE • Talk naturally with characters or the agent that manages them. • Speak and listen using local speech models.

Must agree to separate voice cloning terms. • Or use Apple's default speech options or your own compatible speech-to-text (STT) and text-to-speech (TTS) providers. CREATE BY CONVERSATION • Ask your AI agent to create characters, scenarios, lorebooks, and chat launchers. • Update existing chats, characters, and launchers without navigating every setting. • Extend workflows with remote MCP tools for compatible search, documentation, automation, and more.

YOUR CHAT, YOUR CHOICE • Customize prompts, model settings, themes, backgrounds, and chat appearance. • Edit and organize conversations, regenerate replies, and branch a chat from any message. • Choose iCloud sync or optional local-only storage. TWO WAYS TO CONNECT • Subscribe for included LLM chat usage and agent features, subject to plan allowances and trial eligibility. • Or bring your own compatible cloud or local LLM endpoint (BYOK).
