Publishing.ai FAQ

This FAQ will cover the most common questions about our software.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask in the Publishing.ai private Facebook community or to message our support team.

We built Publishing.ai to help self-publishers create high-quality content without investing thousands of dollars or waiting months to create a book. Our AI-assisted tool helps you shortcut the process of creating a book without hiring freelancers and writers, allowing you to focus on making quality books faster.​

Publishing.ai strives to provide the best service for our students and future publishers.

Our user interface is currently only designed for desktop use. A device needs a minimum screen width of 1024 pixels to properly display and navigate our software. Practically speaking, this means desktops, laptops, some tablets, and a handful of phones. However, handheld devices don't provide a good experience when interacting with software. At this stage, the app won't work on smaller devices. We look forward to building these options for you in the future.

Add all that up, and you are saving big!

Beta means you get to try new features that we release in the software as one of the early users of that feature. Pro and Platinum subscribers get exclusive access to new features we roll out to smaller groups for testing before we release them to all members. It is an amazing chance to benefit from our exciting new tools while providing us with valuable feedback to make the new features better before we release them to the masses.

A credit allows you to generate one full manuscript within a project in Publishing.ai. Credits are only used during manuscript generation, and you'll be prompted at the writing sample stage to confirm if you're ready to use your credit.

​
​Topic Generator: Get suggestions for book topic ideas (these still need to be verified that they pass Proof Of Concept or POC as we call it for short)

Generate a Customer Research Report: Get all the info you need to understand your buyer so that you can write the book for them! Our software will also scrape the Amazon reviews of other books when you enter their 10-digit ASIN/ISBN to write a curated report that tells you what your potential buyers love about other books in your topic and what they wish was included so you can come out on top!

Create a Book Outline: People often say that the book outline is the most valuable piece in creating a quality book! Construct the perfect outline easily by answering the questions in our input fields, and our model will write your outline for you. Then, you can use our editor to refine and make it your own or add additional content.

Create a Writing Sample: Get a sample of your manuscript up to 1,500 words and generate multiple versions with different writing styles until you find the perfect author voice for your full book.

Write a Manuscript: With your unique inputs through all the stages leading up to the manuscript stage; our model will create an amazing manuscript that is unique to your book creation process and follows your outline. You will also get a full references list at the end of your manuscript.
​
Editing is important in the book creation, so our editing tools will allow you to make your first draft a ready-for-print final.

Write a Book Description: Create the perfect book description that can be used on your Amazon sales page or the back of your book. Our descriptions will include a hook, ensure you list the benefits of your book to the potential buyer, and have a clear call to action.

Access starts the day you are sent an email notifying you that you have been granted access after you join AIA. Pro or Platinum tier access will be provided immediately after the upgrade purchase.

Online uptime is over 99.5%. While there will always be occasional service outages, the software tools will be available for you for nearly the entire period of your access, and we always strive to minimize maintenance periods or other downtime.

Currently, credits cannot be shared between accounts. If you and a partner or family member in the same household collaborate on a project, you may use a single account under one user email. However, sharing accounts or credits is prohibited under our Terms of Service. For further details, please review our Terms of Service.

We accept Amex, Mastercard, Visa, and Discover credit cards. All charges are in USD. If your credit card is with a provider outside of the USA, you will be charged your bank's live conversion rate.

Yes. Our software is designed to generate high-quality customer research, book outlines, and 30,000-word non-fiction manuscripts. Remember, your AI-assisted book generation is different from working with a ghostwriter. You still need to cross your t’s and dot your i’s like you would with any other book. (This means verifying facts, editing your book, doing a thorough read-through, checking for plagiarism, etc.) The overall outcome of your book will be unique to you through the input fields and the human effort and care you put into reading and revising your manuscript. Our tools are here to assist you in making great content.

AI identifies relevant citations and draws facts from that source to include in your manuscript. It will provide you with the sources at the end of your manuscript. You can easily add more references and citations during editing if you want to add direct quotes or in-text citations. Before your manuscript credit is cashed in, our software will run a second reference scan to check for any added content within the outline after editing it and include relevant sources at the end of your manuscript. Scanning your manuscript for any content you may want to add as an in-text citation is important.

Our AI draws information from websites, forums, social media platforms, and publicly available datasets such as Common Crawl, Wikipedia, and BooksCorpus. We don’t use any user input to improve the AI quality.

Just like a human being, no AI will always be accurate. There is an adage in computing and life - “garbage in, garbage out”. The better the material provided during the Customer Research and Outline stages, the better and more accurate the resulting manuscript will be when the AI writes it. And just as with a hired ghostwriter, please read your book completely! Even the best author, human or AI, needs your oversight.

You can have many book projects at the same time. We encourage it!
You may create several projects for completely different topics before deciding which one to use with your manuscript credits.

The laws of many countries are not amenable to non-human copyright.

In the United States, for example, the Copyright Office currently declares that it will “register an original work of authorship, provided that the work was:

It is important to look at the regulations within the country where you wish to apply for copyright. As these laws are evolving rapidly with the development of AI, understand that copyright laws today may not be the same tomorrow. The industry wants to protect itself from AI books that are generated without care for quality, so as long as you are doing your due diligence of caring for your final manuscript quality in the same way as if you wrote it yourself by reviewing, editing, and perfecting, you should be supported by your copyright office.

If you are contributing to the development of your book project by thoroughly reviewing and adjusting the customer research/outline and adding your human voice and input into the manuscript during the editing process to ensure a quality experience for your readers, you can apply and likely obtain copyright within the US, Canada, and the UK and other major regions a publisher may operate out of.

If you take a manuscript from the software without any input and review in the customer research and outline stage, and you do not personally read, edit, or hire a content editor to do so if you wish to not personally human edit and review after generating, it is likely that the copyright office will not accept your manuscript for copyright certification at this time.

No, we don’t use user input to improve the AI quality.
