What it does

Swerve is an iPhone app for AI fiction: you chat with community-made characters, one-on-one or several at once, and the story unfolds around what you say and do. It is built by MSPW Labs, Inc., a Y Combinator-backed company in Palo Alto. Swerve is for adults only and is currently iOS-only, with Android and web versions on a waitlist. The app sells a monthly subscription and gems; prices are not published on the website.
