Infinite Bookshelf

I Built an AI App That Writes Any Book You Want to Read—In Real Time

As a novelist who’s spent years crafting stories about robotic surgery and global adventures, I’ve watched AI writing tools evolve from laughably bad to genuinely impressive. 

The Infinite Bookshelf is an app that generates personalized novels on demand. Want a mystery set in Victorian London? A space opera with talking cats? A romance between time travelers? Just ask, and it creates your story chapter by chapter.

This isn’t for writers or publishers—it’s for readers who want stories tailored exactly to their tastes. Each chapter materializes as you read, then vanishes when you move forward, making every reading experience unique and ephemeral.

Try it yourself:

  1. Create a free Claude.ai account (the story stays private in your account—I can’t see or access it)
  2. Describe your dream story or click the random story button 
  3. Watch as your personalized novel unfolds
  4. Give it new instructions at the end of any chapter to change the direction of the story

This is just a demo prototype, not a commercial app, but it’s already as good as most published fiction. It will never replace your favorite authors, but it can supplement them while you wait for their next book to arrive. 

Welcome to infinite, personalized literature. The implications are staggering—and there’s no going back.

What story will you create?
