Poll: AI Book Writing Challenge?

Hey everybody. I've been working with a developer on a number of projects related to using a platform that they've been developing in a large part with utilizing Claude and Claude Code to help people organize their expertise and create full manuscripts for their next book.

What I find interesting about this and how we are using it right now for some private clients that we are managing the entire publishing process for start to finish is that while the AI agents that are working in the background speed things up at an insane level, there is still a very clear process that we have been following to ensure that the book outputs are solid to begin with.

It all starts with organizing the book outline. The research. In all things that were utilizing AI for as well, and the process to then run it through this AI book writing agent system, which outputs entire book drafts organized and formatted and ready for refinement to move along the publishing process.

And since we've been going through this project with private clients, I've been reflecting on how we got started with Jasper back in early 2021, using it to write books and doing the 7-day book writing challenge.

Back then you may have known me as The AI Author.

And through that 7-day process, we saw dozens of entrepreneurs and founders, thought leaders, and subject matter experts tap into the power of AI for researching, brainstorming, outlining, and writing the content for their books as well as other marketing materials for their businesses.

Some people would use these books as lead magnets, or pieces to reference within their own courses and work material, or to sell on Amazon and bring new prospects into their ecosystem. Some people would even write the book in a weekend, and by next week they'd already used the book inside their marketing to help close more deals for their business.

A theme that I see come up even today, five years later, is especially among those that are actual legitimate experts and practitioners, like doctors and plastic surgeons, who clearly know and understand their topic on a super deep level, still often aren't getting the content out to support their business the way that they know that they could be.

Think about even real estate agents, for example, on a local area or on a subject or a topic in real estate that is super niche. Could they have a book that positions themselves as the go-to agent on this subject? Maybe. But often those books just stay dormant in our heads. The ideas never get down on paper or published and into the hands of your ideal target audience.

A book can do so many things for a business and ultimately the strategy and the thinking behind the marketing mechanism of the book can lead it to be not only a great marketing resource, but also a sales resource and even thinking about it. A great operational resource because the book could be a guide and a manual to accomplishing a certain outcome that you could use inside of your organization.

I'm purely putting this post out to ask you and anyone here if there's enough interest to write a book right now that would be used as part of your AI marketing, sales or operational engine.

I'm thinking about putting together a group for a one-day intensive workshop, where leading up to that workshop, either at the very end of January or sometime in February.

Where we plan, prep, and make sure that all of your book resources, assets, outline, and ideas are ready to go for a one-day intensive book build-out session utilizing this AI book writing platform that we've been developing to take that book and outline with all your research and things that you'd want to incorporate into the process and produce a full 50,000-plus word master manuscript.

You can then take that manuscript and continue to build on it, refine it, and edit it to the point where it is ready to go and be fully published. But instead of taking weeks or months to do this, we would basically knock out the heavy lifting of that manuscript in just one day.

What do you think? Is there interest out there? Do you have a book in your head that you want to get out and use for your business, sales, marketing, or operations?

Let me know.

Yes - I want to write a book and leverage AI to accelerate the process.

Maybe - I'm just not sure what to write about or if I'll have time to do it even on a weekend.

No - writing a book wouldn’t help me right now or is a distraction for me.
