Anlatan

Anlatan is a research-oriented company building AI tools for creative expression. Founded in 2021, it operates NovelAI, a monthly subscription platform for AI-assisted storytelling, virtual companionship and image generation. The platform runs on custom text and image models rather than off-the-shelf systems; among them is NovelAI Diffusion, a proprietary image generation system built on Stable Diffusion and developed with the stated aim of improving foundational models.

The company's technical work spans large language models and text generation, diffusion-based image generation, and privacy-preserving AI systems. It positions its tools around user autonomy and unrestricted creative use, and places emphasis on data transparency and user privacy. Anlatan maintains an open relationship with its community of users.

Organisationally, Anlatan is remote-first and runs a globally distributed team. Its work sits across several verticals: consumer creative tools, generative AI, creative writing and storytelling, AI companionship, and image generation and digital art. Further details on headcount and funding are not disclosed.
