Meet your reading companion

You're not reading alone.

"I think he's holding something back."

Kiro is the reading companion built into every ARC story. Ask it anything — a character's real motives, what a choice might lead to, what the story is quietly setting up. It doesn't spoil. It illuminates. Insight on the page: clear, personal, and built for the way you read in ARC.

🔍

Ask anything

Characters, choices, subtext. Kiro always has context.

📖

Stays with the story

Kiro knows your chapter, your choices, and what happened before.

🔊

Available in audio

Reader Plus turns every chapter into something you can listen to.

Readers are finding their way in.

“Kiro helped me notice motive shifts before a major branch. It made the choice feel earned.”
“I came for one chapter and stayed for three forks. It feels personal in a way normal reading doesn't.”

ARC is still in beta — actively growing, shaped by the readers inside it. Every piece of feedback changes what it becomes.

The same story can lead to very different outcomes.

Start free. Read the first chapter. Ask Kiro something. Then decide.
