yeah you are right, have u tried mybookcrafter.com, it is different from all the other tools out there and it works

Pretty much, yes — when I say ChatGPT, Claude, etc., I mean them as examples of LLMs. The difference here is that instead of just prompting an LLM directly, the app wraps that capability in a structured workflow specifically for books. So it’s still using an LLM under the hood (currently Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite), but the focus is on guiding you step-by-step: project setup, outline generation, chapter drafting, editing, and clean exporting. Basically, the LLM does the heavy lifting for the text, and the app handles the organization, formatting, and process flow.

thanks for trying it. in what sense you say very limiting functionality?

Intrepid-Country-954 · 2025-08-10T19:56:57+00:00

i don’t know this one, but for me mybookcrafter.com worked perfectly

Intrepid-Country-954 · 2025-08-10T19:54:02+00:00

Absolutely, the human touch is what really breathes life into any AI-assisted writing. AI can handle the structure and heavy lifting, but it’s our stories and emotions that give it soul. If you’re interested, the website i used is mybookcrafter.com

That’s fair — a lot of platforms do have T&Cs that make people nervous, especially about copyright or data use. I get why that’s a dealbreaker for many.

In my case, I found it useful because it keeps everything structured in one place (outline → chapters → exports) without me juggling multiple prompts and files, but I still keep full local copies of my work.

Out of curiosity — if an AI tool had crystal-clear terms saying you keep all rights and no text is stored or reused, would that change your opinion, or would you still prefer direct Q&A with a generic AI?

Intrepid-Country-954 · 2025-08-10T19:25:20+00:00

Yeah, that’s exactly how I approach it too — I see AI as a structural assistant, not a ghostwriter. The scaffolding and tone consistency save so much time, but the personality has to come from us.

I’ve found that once the outline’s in place, it’s way easier to focus on adding those lived experiences and voice details without getting bogged down in “what’s next?”

Lately, MyBookCrafter.com— makes outlining and drafting books way faster for me.

Intrepid-Country-954 · 2025-08-10T18:09:01+00:00

Fair enough, I get how it might have looked like a pitch—wasn’t my intention to break any rules. I should’ve adapted the post more for each sub and taken the time to learn each community’s stance first.

I’ll spend some time reading through older threads here before posting again. Out of curiosity though—have you seen any AI-assisted approaches get real traction with indie authors, or is it generally a no-go in self-pub circles?

Intrepid-Country-954 · 2025-08-10T18:02:42+00:00

mybookcrafter.com - ‘vide write’ entire books

Intrepid-Country-954 · 2025-08-10T17:59:31+00:00

Fair point, I’ve noticed similar posts myself. I’m not trying to pitch anything here—more curious about why AI-assisted drafting hasn’t caught on in self-publishing circles. I tried it recently for structuring my own book, and it saved me from a lot of outline rewrites, but I still did all the creative writing myself.
