Colleagues "writers"), and just curious! Get ready for a story about how one service decided that writing books is not magic, but just a very difficult job that can be... a little automated. As is customary in polite society, I will immediately reveal the cards: this is not about "click one button - get a bestseller". It's more like a very smart and hardworking intern who does the dirty work for you, which requires tons of time and computing resources. And damn, he's good at it, if you know how to manage him.

How I apply the product

Longreads for my sites and great lead magnets for my clients. I don't just write in the field "I want a book about quantum physics for dummies." No. I create an entire project:

1. I upload sources. I have a whole library of PDF articles, my own sketches, and research.
2. I select a "voice." Essentially, these are custom-trained GPT models that generate text with a specific intonation and vocabulary, rather than following a template. The result is much more lively.
3. I start it and wait. The process is not fast. I like it better than not. Services that spit out a book in 5 minutes make me suspicious. This product works thoughtfully: it conducts research, builds a plan, and writes a draft, almost like a living author, but without the need for coffee or the lament of a creative crisis.

What I liked

- A workflow worthy of an engineer. The creators clearly have firsthand knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of AI. This is not just a wrapper for ChatGPT. It is a well-thought-out pipeline.
- "Human Models" The ability to train a model on specific texts and get a text with character instead of a faceless mush is priceless.
- Respect for the process. Slow generation is not a bug, but a feature. The system is actually working on your book, not just parodying its creation.
- The result is 80-90% complete. Yes, the final file is not a ready-to-print manuscript. This is a great draft, full of high-quality content that I, as the author, only need to polish. This is how a writer's tool should work - it takes care of the routine, leaving you with the creative part.
- Honesty and transparency. The developer on the site explicitly says that the service cannot do this. In a world where marketers promise mountains of gold, this is honest and captivating.
- You can upload your own reference materials, which he will rely on when creating a book.
- The support is just wonderful, always clear and to the point.
- The interface is simple and intuitive

What would you like to pay attention to

And where without a spoonful of tar? Without her, the review would be unfair.

- Sometimes, instead of the requested 10,000-word book, he does twice as much, although it doesn't seem to affect my credits, but I needed 10,000 words)
- Problems with language and accuracy. There may be minor errors when working with languages other than English.

What would you like to see in the future

1. Links to sources that the AI uses during writing.
2. Any instructions that will help us create a task for releasing material in the most effective and efficient way. Maybe there is one, but I couldn't find it.


I can tell you that it's definitely not a toy. It's a serious, powerful, and, most importantly, cleverly designed tool for those who understand that AI is not a replacement for the author, but rather their personal workaholic assistant. It will save you days or even weeks of work by providing you with a wealth of draft material. Yes, this material will need to be proofread, edited, and supplemented. However, it does so with such grace and produces such a high volume of high-quality content that the only real criticism is for the minor details.

If you approach it as an engineer and not a dreamer, and you are willing to invest some time in learning its features, then it will be the best assistant you can buy for the money.

Final rating: 5 stars out of 5. For the potential, for the unique workflow, and for the fact that it is already the most interesting in its class.
