Create conversations. Shift perspectives. Turn them into video. Angle is a one-person, multi-role chat app that lets you switch between yourself and other characters as you write a conversation. Turn your conversations into vertical videos, explore your thoughts from someone else’s point of view, or bring imagined character interactions to life. Create chat videos. Organize your thoughts. Create stories. Three ways to use one unique chat experience. ■ 1. Create Chat Videos Turn one-on-one and group conversations into vertical videos where messages appear in sequence. Once you have written a conversation, simply choose the part you want to include and customize how it appears. No advanced video-editing skills are required. ・Create videos from one-on-one or group chats ・Choose the starting and ending messages ・Display speaker names above messages ・Show or hide dates and sent times ・Include the input bar or group member bar ・Adjust playback speed from 0.5x to 2.0x ・Export as a 9:16 vertical MP4 video ・Preview the finished video ・Save it to your device or share it on social media Turn funny exchanges, group conversations, character dialogue, and original stories into videos you can share. ■ 2. Organize Your Thoughts “What would they think about this?” In Angle, you write both sides of the conversation yourself. Instead of having AI generate an answer, you step into another person’s point of view. Playing different roles can reveal thoughts and feelings that are difficult to notice from only one perspective. Use Angle when you want to: ・Organize thoughts that keep circling in your mind ・Consider a decision from different perspectives ・Imagine how another person might feel ・Practice a difficult conversation ・Ask your future self for advice ・Borrow the viewpoint of a more positive person ・Explore the different voices inside your mind Moving an internal conversation onto the screen can help you examine your thoughts more objectively. ■ 3.

Writing from each character’s personality and point of view can help you understand their voice and relationships more deeply. Use Angle to: ・Create dialogue between original characters ・Draft scenes for comics, novels, or games ・Explore a character’s personality ・Test dialogue and conversational pacing ・Imagine conversations with characters you love ・Turn a finished scene into a vertical video Use it for everything from early story ideas to shareable character conversation videos. ■ Main Features ・One-on-one chats ・Group chats ・Custom avatars ・Switchable speakers ・Custom message bubble colors ・Custom chat backgrounds ・Light and dark modes ・Notes, pinned messages, and conversation search ■ Angle Premium ・Create unlimited chat videos ・Create unlimited conversation partners ・Unlock all backgrounds and bubble styles ・Export chat history as text or CSV ・Back up and restore your data Create a video.

Story World Builder is a story-planning tool designed by webtoon and web novel professionals — for when an idea strikes, when you're shaping a character, when the plot gets stuck. Key Features 1. Chat with Your Characters Talk directly to the characters you've created. They answer as themselves, drawing on the personality, speech, relationships, and world you wrote. Conversations carry over; start fresh anytime. 2. Build a Scenario — on a proven story structure Pick a few keywords and a story structure, and AI proposes three scenarios in different directions. Ki-Sho-Ten-Ketsu, Three-Act, Five-Act, the Story Circle, the Hero's Journey, or Save the Cat — instead of a blank page, work through a structure that has carried stories. Pick one and it expands into an Episode 1 plot draft, with its cast added to your Characters in one tap. 3. Worldbuilding Record your world systematically — background, rules, magic systems, and places. Write what doesn't exist in your world in the "Taboos / Limits" field, and the AI won't cross that line in any suggestion. The AI assistant expands settings and checks for contradictions. 4. Character Management Design characters in detail — personality, MBTI, appearance, abilities — and see how they connect on the relationship map. 5. Plot Builder Structure your story with episodes, scenes, and cuts. AI suggests next scenes, twists, cut ideas, and feedback. 6. Write a Full Episode Manuscript (1 free · AI Pass) Turn an episode you've filled out into prose you can publish, following what you wrote — world, characters, relationships, and your "Taboos / Limits". It picks up the flow of earlier episodes and the voice of your last manuscript, so names and tone stay steady. Ask for a revision — change only the part you picked, or rewrite it all. Copy it, or send it straight to a messaging app. 7. Timeline See how characters' stories cross on a subway-style map: one colored line per character. Tap a stop to expand it; tap a name to follow one character. With world, characters and plot already built, AI fills in what each character is doing at each hour in short lines, without repeating the plot. 8. AI Writing Assistant - Start from a scene you have in mind: write down one scene and we build the project and its world from that alone. - Naming Studio: pick what you're naming — character, place, faction, magic, item, or monster — add a mood, and get 15 names that fit your world, each with a note on how it reads. - Dialogue and scene ideas whenever you're stuck. - Mood presets: romance, fantasy, mystery, slice of life, dark, or comedy. Conversations are saved per project. 9. Export as PDF or Markdown Pick the sections you want — world, characters, scenario, plot, manuscript, timeline, scene memos — as one PDF, or as Markdown text for Obsidian or Notion. The relationship map comes as an image, and the PDF opens anywhere. Good to Know - Creative features, saving, and PDF export are free. - The AI Assistant is free for 10 uses a month, and character chat for 10 replies a month. - For more AI uses or chat, subscribe to AI Pass.
