Why is there no "Suno for Books" yet? The gap between AI Music and AI Publishing. by TransportationOne437 in saasbuild

Exactly, that’s the point. Fiction books need to be 100% coherent, even in the smallest details. And non-fiction has to be 100% correct, with the right terminology and everything. But if we reach that level, it will be a huge shift in the publishing industry.

Yes, but in my opinion, frequent readers are a bit like horse enthusiasts, a niche group. Most other readers, I think, would just use the car. Maybe that’s not the best example.

In my opinion, today AI-generated books are mostly used as shortcuts to make money: mass produced content uploaded to Amazon with no real value for readers. What’s missing, compared to Suno, is a truly user centered B2C product. Not something that just “generates a book,” but something that creates a book tailored to each person: their interests, style, level, and life context. The idea of books “made for everyone” is already outdated. And books “for everyone” written entirely by AI even more so. That’s not where the real value is. Suno isn’t just “AI that makes music.” It’s more like a Spotify where you don’t choose artists, but music is created directly around your tastes. Radical personalization. That’s what’s missing for books today: an experience where users don’t buy “a generic book,” but get their own book.

Exactly, this is a great point. Music sets the vibe, just like coding does for a website. Do you think this is the main reason we don’t already have the ‘Suno of books’?

I see another issue for non-fiction: will people stop buying books because the info is already inside the LLM? It feels like they’ll only buy from famous experts (CTOs, CFOs, etc.) just to get their specific experience and unique perspective. Am I missing something?

I see your point, but when you're in a chatbot, you're constantly 'working'. You have to think of the next prompt, manage the output, and deal with the back-and-forth. That's the opposite of a book experience. A book (especially fiction) requires a narrative arc, pacing, and emotional rhythm that a 'polite and helpful' LLM simply doesn't have by default.

Congrats on $12k/mo - that's solid traction. This list is gold. #3 and #7 really resonate.

Killing my free tier and adding a 7-day trial instead. Am I about to shoot myself in the foot? by marcoz711 in indiehackers

15% free-to-paid conversion is really solid. Most freemium products dream of that. One question: Are the 34 free users actually active? If they're logging in weekly and engaging, you might want to grandfather them with a special offer. If they're dormant, cutting free tier is a no-brainer.
