Transcript

Episode five: plan and write your book with AI. AI comes with the Publisher plan. That's a hundred and fifty AI credits a month, and each writing job spends one. Violet means AI. Open Start here. The AI planner is in beta. Describe your book in one paragraph: who it's for, and what's inside. Set how many puzzles you want. One thing to know: the plan replaces the book in the composer. Your cover stays. Planning costs one credit. This part's sped up. The real wait is usually about twenty-five seconds. Then the whole plan lands: title, sections, large print, word lists, even an introduction. You can also write one section at a time. Add a section and click Write with AI. Give it a theme, like spring bulbs. Sped up again. The words land as plain text, right in the section's box, so you can edit them. Now read every word the AI wrote. It's your name on the book. Swap anything you like. Here, lovage becomes lavender. Build the outline, and the AI's plan turns into real pages, in sixteen-point large print. And your cover stayed, with the new title on it. If the AI doesn't answer, nothing's charged. Just try again. One more thing. When you upload, K-D-P asks if you used AI. If it wrote any of your words, say yes. Building your book by hand is still free. There it is: planned by AI, and checked by you, word by word. Next up, episode six: making the pages look right.
