Dialogue Generator
Two characters, one situation, and something neither of them will say out loud. Get a short scene you can rework in your own voice.
Your scene will appear here in script format.
Five rules for dialogue that sounds real
- People don't answer the question. They deflect, change the subject or answer a different one. Let that happen.
- Cut greetings and small talk. Enter the scene late and leave early.
- Give every speaker a goal. Each character should want something from the conversation, even if it's just to end it.
- Use "said". It's invisible. "Exclaimed", "retorted" and "hissed" pull attention off the words.
- Read it aloud. Your ear catches stiff lines faster than your eye.
Elmore Leonard's widely quoted "10 Rules of Writing" covers several of these, including never using a verb other than "said" to carry dialogue.

Questions writers ask
What is subtext in dialogue?
Subtext is what characters mean but don't say. A couple arguing about who forgot to buy milk may really be arguing about whether one of them is leaving. Dialogue with subtext feels real because people rarely say exactly what they feel.
How does the AI dialogue generator work?
You describe two characters, the situation and (optionally) what is really going on underneath. The AI writes a 14 to 22 line scene in script format, told to keep the real issue under the surface and to end on a turn.
How do I format dialogue in a novel?
The generator writes in script form so you can see the exchange clearly. In prose, put each speaker's words in quotation marks, start a new paragraph when the speaker changes, and use "said" for most dialogue tags. Replace many tags with action beats.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no account. The AI features share a fair-use limit of 20 requests per 10 minutes.
