Features

Everything for your version of the story

From canon research to publishing and donations. This is everything Selm does today — no “coming soon”.

01

AI co-author

Works in every writing mode. Each action shows its cost on the button.

  • Canon research

    no sparks

    A brief on the work: plot, characters, open threads. Sources are shown in the app.

  • Plot ideas

    2 sparks

    Four options: logline, twists, tone. Ask for more or add your wishes.

  • Outline

    3 sparks

    A season or fanfic structure by episode and chapter. Hand any item to the AI.

  • Whole chapter

    3–8 sparks

    Short, medium or long — the text appears as you watch.

  • Continue from cursor

    1 sparks

    The AI writes the next paragraph right where you stopped.

  • Three next beats

    1 sparks

    Three short directions for the next scene. Pick one or get inspired.

  • Edit a passage

    1 sparks

    Improve, rewrite, expand, shorten, more dramatic, into dialogue, change tone, translate or a custom task.

  • Canon check

    2 sparks

    Finds conflicts with the original and earlier chapters and suggests fixes.

  • Title and logline

    1 sparks

    Five titles and three loglines when the story is ready to publish.

02

Formats and premises

Chosen when you create a story, changeable later.

  • Six premises

    Continuation, alternate ending, new season, “what if”, prequel and spin-off. Plus a branch point like “after S8E5”.

  • Season

    A story in episodes, like a show: cold opens, scenes, cliffhangers.

  • Fanfic

    Prose in chapters — the classic of fan writing.

  • Scene

    A single “what if” scene of 400–1,200 words: quick to write and publish.

  • Screenplay

    Formatted like the pros: sluglines, characters, parentheticals, transitions.

  • Three modes

    “AI writes” — you edit. “Co-write” — step by step. “I write” — the AI helps on request.

03

Editor

Built for phones, comfortable on a computer.

  • Autosave

    Your text saves itself a second after you pause.

  • Chapters and outline

    Add, reorder and delete chapters; keep the story’s plan.

  • Version history

    Earlier drafts of a chapter are kept; any AI edit can be undone.

  • Screenwriter bar

    Quick inserts for the screenplay format.

  • Publishing

    Only me, by link or the feed. 18+ flag, tags, challenge entry.

  • Story language

    English or Russian: the AI writes in the language you choose.

04

Reading

A calm reader with nothing extra.

  • Book typography

    Literata typeface, 16–22 px text, three line-spacing options.

  • Themes

    Auto, night and sepia. The app itself follows Telegram’s light or dark theme.

  • Progress

    Selm remembers where you stopped and offers to continue.

  • Chapter end

    Star, support the author, remix, discuss and move to the next chapter.

05

Audio Pro

Stories read aloud: on the road, on a walk, before sleep.

  • Player

    Speed 0.75–2×, 15-second skips, a mini player while you browse.

  • Paragraph highlight

    See what’s being read; tap a paragraph to jump there.

  • Picks up again

    Returns to where you stopped and plays the next chapter on its own.

  • Sleep timer

    15, 30, 60 minutes or the end of the chapter.

  • Listen in Telegram

    Get the chapter as an audio file in your chat with the bot.

06
