For authors & publishers

Your book, in conversation.

Publish an Official AI Edition and let readers explore your ideas in dialogue — verified by you, grounded in your text, and accompanied by insights you've never had before.

Verified by the author

Every Official AI Edition carries a verified mark. Readers know they're talking to your book, prepared by you.

Grounded in your text

Answers are generated from your manuscript and cite the chapter and page they came from. Nothing is invented.

Conversational publishing

Your book becomes something readers can think with — not just read. A new format, with the same words.

Reader insights

See what readers ask, where they linger, and which ideas resonate. Insights only the rights holder can see.

Lasting reader relationships

Engagement that continues after the sale. Your book becomes a place readers return to, not a thing they finish.

Future monetization

Subscription editions, premium companions, and educational tiers — all rolling out alongside the beta.
