Show HN: I created an AI writing app that helps you write books

https://bookswriter.xyz/
3•playsong•6mo ago
TL;DR: Built BooksWriter - an AI tool that generates novels chapter by chapter while keeping YOU in control. Generated my first book in 2 hours. Looking for feedback from fellow writers.

Hey writers! I want to share something I've been working on that might interest you.

I've been frustrated with existing AI writing tools for ages. Take the current best tools for writing as an example- it looks promising at first, but the quality and consistency completely falls apart as your story progresses. By chapter 5-6, it becomes nearly impossible to maintain coherence. The AI loses track of your plot, characters start acting inconsistently, and you're drowning in clichés and tired tropes.

Writing directly with AI models is even worse. The longer your story gets, the more context issues you hit. You spend more time crafting prompts than actually writing, and when you ask for edits, the AI rewrites everything and destroys the parts that were working.

I built BooksWriter to solve these exact problems:

Give it your idea, and it generates your story chapter by chapter. But here's the key - it gives you 3 different directions for each chapter, so YOU choose where the story goes.

Unlike other tools, it maintains consistency and quality throughout your entire book. Chapter 20 is as good as chapter 1.

When you need changes, it doesn't rewrite everything. It finds the specific moments that need editing and improves just those parts without touching what's already working.

Upload your own writing samples and it adapts to write exactly in your style.

Generate in 19+ languages.

Don't want to read? Listen to your story instead. You can generate audio of your book too.

And finally: One-click publish to our platform at read.bookswriter.xyz

I generated my first complete book in just 2 hours while maintaining my writing style and creative control. The combination of automation + control is what makes this different from everything else out there.

The app is currently in closed beta. If you want to test it out:

Visit bookswriter.xyz Sign up Email support@bookswriter.xyz for credits, and we will give you access And start writing!

Check out what other users have already created at read.bookswriter.xyz

Looking for honest feedback from the community! What features would be most valuable to you? What problems do you face with current AI writing tools?

If you're a writer, I genuinely think you should try this. Happy to answer any questions in the comments!

P.S. - I'd love to read whatever you create and publish on the platform
