About Orison Space
Orison Space is an open-source, local-first AI novel-writing IDE for fiction and web-novel authors. It brings outlines, chapters, characters, and world-building asset cards into one workspace. Built on a "user-led, AI-assisted" principle, it offers AI generation, continuation, polishing, review, and controlled edits, connects to any OpenAI-compatible model, and keeps all of your writing on your own computer. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux under the Apache-2.0 license.
