# Novellis

> **The Intelligent Framework for World-Building and Narrative Intelligence**

Novellis is a privacy-first, local-LLM-powered workspace designed for storytellers, world-builders, and narrative designers. Transform static manuscripts into interactive, AI-powered knowledge bases while keeping your creative work entirely on your own machine.

## 🌌 Core Features

- **Local-First Narrative AI**: Seamlessly connect to [Ollama](https://ollama.ai/) for a 100% private, offline experience, or use cloud providers like OpenAI/Anthropic for intensive analysis.

- **Narrative Intelligence & Timeline**: Automatically visualize story arcs and temporal sequences across your entire novel.

- **Visual Knowledge Graph**: Map and explore complex relationships between characters, locations, and events in a dynamic graph view.

- **AI Copilot & Ingestion**: Ingest manuscripts to create a "brain" for your story that understands characters, plot points, and consistency.

- **Privacy-First Architecture**: Your work stay where it belongs—on your hardware. No cloud sync required for core features.
