What is AI Dungeon?
AI Dungeon is a pioneering, text-based, interactive novel that elevates the traditional text adventure genre. Its core appeal lies in its "no rules, no goals" sandbox nature: the world is instantly generated based on the player’s input. By typing actions, thoughts, or dialogue, the player becomes the co-author of an endlessly branching narrative, while the sophisticated AI acts as a tireless, imaginative Dungeon Master (DM), crafting environments, characters, and plot twists in real time. This ensures every decision leads to a unique, personalized role-playing experience across any genre imaginable, from epic fantasy to cyberpunk exploration.
Unique Features
-
Real-Time Generative Storytelling: The AI provides high-quality, relevant responses to complex text inputs, seamlessly incorporating player commands into the ongoing narrative to create an original story every time. You finally get to tell the AI what to do, and it actually listens.
-
Infinite World & Scenario Variety: Offers thousands of community-created starting scenarios (fantasy, sci-fi, historical, etc.) and allows players to completely customize their world from scratch, ensuring endless replayability.
-
Context Management for Coherence: Players can use "Cards" to manually input key information about characters, locations, or items. This helps the AI "remember" critical details and prevents the narrative from spiraling into absurdity.
-
Model Tier Customization: Paid users gain access to premium, high-performance AI models (like Mistral Large or Hermes 3) and significantly expanded Context Windows (up to 16K), improving narrative logic and complexity in long stories.
-
Cross-Platform Accessibility: Available on Web, iOS, Android, and Steam, allowing users to dive into their immersive role-playing adventure anytime, anywhere.

FAQ
Q: Does the story ever become illogical or silly?
A: Sometimes! That's the chaotic fun of generative AI. You can use the "Undo" button to revert to a previous state and input a new command, or use the "Story" mode to manually fix the narrative if the AI gets too weird.
Q: How do I make sure the AI remembers my character's name in a long adventure?
A: Use the built-in "Cards" feature. Input and save key details (character traits, important items, or locations) in the Cards, and the AI will prioritize this information, especially if you have a larger Context Window.
Q: Can I share the stories I create?
A: Yes, you can save, share, and even publish your unique AI-driven interactive fiction adventures with the community.
