Novel is a Notion-style WYSIWYG editor with AI-powered autocompletions.

You can deploy your own version of Novel to Vercel with one click:

To set up Novel locally, you'll need to clone the repository and set up the following environment variables:

OPENAI_API_KEY – your OpenAI API key (you can get one here)
