BYOK AI roleplay workspace
Persistent AI worlds without losing canon.
Run immersive roleplay in Player Mode. Switch to GM Mode to manage lore files, hidden state, branches, diffs, dice, images, and source-grounded worldbuilding.
Bring your own model key. Own your world files. Review canon changes before they stick.
The archive remembers.
Rain ticks against the sealed glass while the party studies the city map. Sera points to the old transit tunnels, careful not to say what she knows about the locked station below.
Ask Sera what she is hiding about the tunnels...
The problem
Normal AI roleplay breaks when the world gets big.
The workspace
Canonvale turns roleplay into a persistent workspace.
Instead of one disposable chat, each world lives inside a project with files, state, lore, branches, tools, and reviewable changes.
Player Mode
Clean immersive story view without file trees, hidden state, or GM spoilers.
GM Mode
Advanced control over files, lore, hidden state, character sheets, and diffs.
Canon diffs
Review what the AI changed before it becomes permanent world truth.
Rewind and fork
Explore alternate outcomes without destroying the main timeline.
BYOK
Bring OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, or supported local providers when available.
Project export
Keep your worlds portable and owned by you.
Player Mode / GM Mode
Immersion when you play. Control when you build.
Player Mode
- Immersive reading layout
- IC/OOC input separation
- Dice and tool requests through natural language
- Read-aloud support
- Bookmarks and rewind
- No hidden GM spoilers
GM Mode
- File tree and markdown lore
- NPC, PC, location, and faction state

Controlled canon
The AI can propose. You decide what becomes true.
Canonvale treats canon like something worth protecting. AI-generated changes can be reviewed as diffs, accepted, edited, rejected, or rolled back.
+ Added relationship update
Sera trusts the party after the archive scene.
- Removed outdated location state
- The west gate is sealed and unreachable.Long-running worlds
Built for serious long-running worlds.
Bring your own model
Bring your own model. Keep the workspace.
Use Canonvale as the persistent world engine while your chosen provider handles inference. You pay for your model usage separately, and the app focuses on structure, continuity, tools, and control.
Who it is for
Made for people who outgrew normal chat.

FAQ
Common questions
Is this another AI chatbot?
No. It is a project-based workspace for persistent AI worlds.
Do you provide the AI model?
The initial model is BYOK. Users bring their own API key from supported providers.
Can I export my worlds?
Yes. Project ownership and exportability are core principles.
Is Player Mode different from GM Mode?
Yes. Player Mode is immersive and spoiler-safe. GM Mode exposes advanced world-management tools.
Does the AI silently change my lore?
The goal is controlled canon. AI changes can be proposed as diffs and reviewed before becoming permanent.
