I’ve been building and testing a system to handle long-form AI generation (books / chapters), mainly to deal with real constraints like word-count control, coherence across generations, and stitching multiple outputs into one readable piece.
From a business point of view, I’m stuck between two directions and would appreciate outside perspective.
Direction A: Use it internally – Publish small, niche book series on marketplaces (self-help, daily life topics) – Focus on quality, structure, and iteration (not mass output) – Treat it as a slow content business
Direction B: Offer the tool/workflow – Position it as a writing aid for people who already want to create books but struggle with structure, energy, or time – Emphasize constraints, editing, and human review — not automation or scale
My concerns: – Market saturation and trust around AI-generated content – Whether publishing books is defensible long-term vs tooling – Whether tools in this space are seen as enabling spam, even if used responsibly
I’m not trying to “flood” anything — the system is very much chapter-by-chapter with manual review — but perception matters.
If you were evaluating this purely as a business: – Which direction seems more defensible? – Where do you see actual value being created? – What would you immediately poke holes in?
Looking for honest feedback, not validation.
