I’m sharing this free GPT chatbot for you to play with. Think of him as a friendly cowriter or research assistant. He’s not super deep, but he’s really smart. Ask him to tell you a story, or write you a speech, or summarize a famous book. Tell him he’s Vincent Van Gogh and ask about his paintings (don’t mention his ear).

Derek: Hey, what's up? Give me some ideas and I can generate stories, a plot outline or a book title for you.
Things my free chatbot can help you with:
- Generate plot outlines or story ideas
- Rewrite your blurbs or sales copy
- Give feedback on your writing or rewrite your blurbs
- Research and brainstorm (25 metaphors about the rain or cool Nordic elf names)
- Boost your mood and creativity with a fun conversation
- Answer just about anything
- Write fiction or poetry
I write about creative stuff, but last year spent a small fortune trying to build AI tools because they were so new and shiny and fun. Unfortunately it’s tough to maintain free tools like that because duh, they cost money. But I like the idea of people just encountering a free chatbot online and seeing what all the fuss is about without signing up for some new complicated service like openAI’s chatGPT.
So I found a WordPress plugin that let me set up a free GPT4 chatbot and post it up to share (it uses my own API code but hopefully you won’t be writing books with it…) I didn’t customize the voice much or train it on my own voice and writing style – I could have, with the right tools, but I haven’t yet.
So he’s a little boring. But he’s super knowledgeable about everything, and pretty damn capable (I set him to chatgpt3.5 turbo because chatgpt4 seemed slow. I’m going to set something up that’s a little smarter that authors can use as a co-writer and research assistant, that can analyze about to 20K words!
But for now give the virtual me a shot – he’s a little stiff but he’s here to help you 24/7.
Here’s my list of the Best AI Writing Tools.
Update, sorry the free gptchatbot is down for now, it was costing $100/day and I couldn’t afford to keep it running – but here are some similar free tools you can use!

What is free ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a chatbot version of OpenAI’s LLM (large language model) – it runs on discord and there’s a free option (though I think those are limited)… it runs on gpt3.5 though, which is pretty good, but not nearly as good as gpt4 which is on a whole different level.
A lot of the AI writing tools run through OpenAi’s playground, so they may produce better results. Personally, I’m still happy with the paid version of chatGPT which produces the best content for most of my needs (blogging articles, mostly).
For real book writing, there are specialized tools. You can also try free tools like Quillbot for paraphrasing. Canva has a MagicWrite tool. Here’s a list of my favorites AI writing apps:
- Sudowrite for fiction (and nonfiction)
- Jasper (used in the following examples)
- GhosttheWriter for best quality
Please note that the effectiveness and suitability of these chatbots can vary depending on the specific use case and requirements.
PS – you can use my dead authors to ghostwrite for you or generate story ideas with writing prompts
