Hey everyone!
I’m excited to share how I created a fully functional book generation platform using ChatGPT models—GPT-04 for general tasks and GPT-01 for advanced reasoning. The platform generates books based on a table of contents and optional literary options, providing writers with a powerful tool to streamline the creative process.
How It Started
The idea came from a casual conversation with ChatGPT about book writing. My curiosity led me to research existing platforms. After trying some, I saw an opportunity for improvement—they were promising but lacked depth, consistency, and polish.
The First Steps: Proof of Concept
I started by creating an algorithm that generates stories page-by-page, structured into chapters based on user-defined parameters like chapter count and page count. My goal was simple: allow users to submit a single form and receive a detailed, cohesive book draft.
One standout feature is the "Rewrite with AI" functionality, which enables users to refine their stories by working alongside an AI assistant. This interactive process lets writers shape the narrative using tailored prompts, turning the platform into a true creative partner.
Challenges and Breakthroughs
Initially, I let AI take the lead in designing the platform architecture. While the first proof of concept was decent—better than competitors—it wasn’t groundbreaking. I realized that no amount of vague prompting would significantly improve the results.
This was the turning point. Using AI as a research assistant, I manually analyzed the gaps and devised a better generation pipeline. Incorporating clearer logic and nuanced storytelling mechanisms improved the output tenfold.
At this stage, I shifted my approach. Instead of asking AI to “solve the entire puzzle,” I guided it step-by-step, breaking down tasks into actionable pieces. With clearly defined inputs like context, documentation, and instructions, the platform came together quickly and effectively.
The Result
The platform is now live! Users can generate books by defining a table of contents and selecting optional literary options such as tone, pacing, and style. It’s a robust starting point for anyone looking to bring their ideas to life with ease.
