AI-enhanced Notion-style WYSIWYG editor for modern web apps
A Notion-style WYSIWYG editor that integrates AI autocompletions, built with Next.js, Tiptap, and Tailwind, deployable to Vercel with a single click.

Novel is a rich‑text editor that mimics Notion's block‑based experience while offering AI‑driven autocomplete suggestions. It targets developers and product teams who need a customizable, modern editor for knowledge bases, documentation, or collaborative writing tools.
The editor leverages Tiptap for extensible ProseMirror editing, TailwindCSS for styling, and the Vercel AI SDK to call OpenAI models for real‑time content generation. Community‑maintained packages extend support to Svelte and Vue, and a VSCode extension brings the experience into the IDE.
Deploying is streamlined: a one‑click Vercel deployment or local development with pnpm i && pnpm dev. Required environment variables include an OpenAI API key and a Vercel Blob token for asset storage. The stack runs on any Node environment, giving you full control over hosting and data handling.
When teams consider Novel, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
