Launch Your First Project

Click "New Project" and enter a working title like "My First Ebook". You can choose a template from the gallery to get pre-built chapter structure, or start with a blank project. Hit "Create" and the editor opens.

The left sidebar shows your chapters, the center is your writing canvas, and the right panel has AI tools and snippets. Add a chapter by clicking "+ Add Chapter" and give it a descriptive title.

Generate Content with AI

The AI creates a draft in seconds using GPT-4. Review the content, edit as needed, and it saves automatically. You just created your first AI-powered chapter. From here, explore templates, design your cover in the Cover Designer, and export as PDF, EPUB, or DOCX when you are ready to publish.
