AI generates complete novels with cover art, ready for print Text: I built a tool that generates complete, print-ready books from a single concept. Enter your idea, pick a genre and length, and you get: Full manuscript PDF (formatted for print with title page, copyright, chapters) Editable DOCX file AI-generated cover art Print-ready cover PDF with spine The whole thing takes a few minutes. Output is sized for standard trim sizes so you can upload directly to KDP or other print-on-demand services. Built with Claude for the writing and image generation for covers. Priced starting at $19. Would love feedback on the concept and output quality. https://printreadybook.com

Ai slop again
drpixie•3w ago
Oh great - yet another way to get AI slop. Slop text, a slop cover - just raw slop, straight from the slopperizor. And the internet gets another little bit deader.
brushyolaf•3w ago
The description, prompt settings and website look like an extremely early prototype - nothing I would spend 19$ on. If you want people to have an idea about output quality, you should provide reading samples. I personally hate the idea of seeing AI generated books in stores and I suspect publishers will reject them. But there is a market of people ordering personalized cups, tshirts, puzzles and mousepads, so you could try to tailor the marketing to this customer group.

pure scam. not even give product samples. i assume this post also get upvoted by bot agent. i'm very sad.

This could be a lot better (potentially ground-breaking) if you allowed more fine-grained control over the book content.

Allow the user to provide an arbitrarily-detailed outline, chapter by chapter, with characters, situations, dialog, emotions,... - everything that could be an ingredient in a book "recipe".

And I wouldn't package it into a completed book just yet - instead, provide a formatted manuscript (which you already do) which is open for revisions and rewrites, before inserting it back into the pipeline for final packaging.

What you have here is a high-level concept with premature pricing options. I would withdraw it, and keep developing it into something which offers unprecedented assistance in novel writing.

Oh, and at the very least, provide an example of the finished product, so users know what they're paying for!

Why bother reading a book nobody wrote?

I get that an llm can be a useful search tool over internet, but stories? Why? If someone is going to spend 5+ hours on the contents it better be made by a human.

You are actively doing a disservice to humanity by eroding trust in writing

I'm generally very positive about using AI as a tool day-to-day, but, wow, I think I hate this. I think I _really_ hate this.

I like reading. I dedicate a good amount of my time to reading. I find it quite a personal experience to read an author's work. They have put far more time into the book than it takes me to read it, it feels like their thoughts and ideas have been carefully distilled down. The Mark Twain quote about writing a shorter letter, I think is a good analogy - with some books I can feel the care that was taken to respect the reader's time.

This use of AI is the opposite. I find it repulsive and disrespectful to the reader. I don't want to read a hundred pages of slop. The same negative sentiment as many people feel towards AI art and music.

I don't mind if an author asks an LLM to rephrase a sentence or touch-up grammar, but I would never want to read a generated book like this.

Sorry, but this is awful. Slop as a service.
cincinnatus•3w ago
Just because we can do a thing doesn't mean we should.
HardwareLust•3w ago
These should be clearly branded and watermarked to ensure people know they're buying AI slop and not actual books.

Where is the added value in this product as compared to a few prompts directly to Claude?
