Model Selection
You can choose the generation quality both during book creation and from your default settings. The quality level affects cost and the refinement of the output:
- Basic: standard quality, lower cost — ideal for drafts and first versions
- Medium: intermediate quality — good balance of cost and quality
- High: premium quality — for polished results ready to publish
Which AI model is best to use?
We recommend using the base model to learn how to use Books Maker and run initial experiments, and reserving the Premium or Ultra model to create the final version of your book. This way you get the best AI quality where it really matters, without wasting credits during the experimentation phases. Furthermore, you can use the Base model for simple books and use the higher models when you want to create more refined and complex books.
Click "Create Book" to start. The AI will prepare your book's basic structure.
What are the differences between the Base, Premium and Ultra AI models?
Books Maker offers three AI models, each designed for different needs. Here's what distinguishes them:
⚙️ Base Model — Your Everyday Ally
Characteristics: Writes in a fluid and effective way, ideal for drafts, quick ideas and not-too-complex books. Useful to learn how to use Books Maker without spending too many tokens.
What to expect: It's fast in generation but may contain some minor typos or occasional oversights that require a quick proofread.
⚡ Premium Model — Smarter and More Precise
Characteristics: A significant quality leap. Understands more complex nuances and produces structured and refined texts.
What to expect: Fewer typos, a drastically reduced error margin and notably superior writing capacity compared to the Base model, but it may be slightly slower.
✨ Ultra Model — Professional Editor Quality
Characteristics: The best technology at your disposal. It's designed for those seeking stylistic perfection, impeccable and extremely complex content.
What to expect: Writes with the quality and care of a professional editor, adapts best to your writing style and is able to create books with high logical complexity.
The Ultra model may also be slower in writing.
💡 Tip: We recommend using the base model to learn how to use Books Maker and run initial trials, and reserving the Premium or Ultra model to create the final version of your book. This way you get the best AI quality where it really matters, without wasting credits during the experimentation phases.
Furthermore, you can use the Base model for simple books and use the higher models when you want to create more refined and complex books.
Editor Overview
The editor consists of three main areas:
- Left: your book with full outline, chapter outline, and chapter content
- Center: the book content
- Right: AI assistant
Creating the Outline
Start by creating the outline or generating proposals through the AI assistant.
On the left, your book's hierarchy is created: outline and content.
Click on the book title to edit the full outline, plot, characters, settings. Click on a paragraph and select "Send selection to chat" to ask the assistant for modifications.
AI Chat & Editing
The AI Chat section lets you interact with the writing assistant. The menu has different options depending on whether you're in the outline or in a chapter.
