Sell your output anywhere readers buy

• Amazon KDP
• Kindle
• Google Books
• Substack
• Gumroad
• Notion

• Multi-agent pipeline

  Transcript ingestion, automatic outlining, chapter drafting and export preparation. Review and edit the resulting manuscript before publication.

• Source-grounded drafting

  Chapter prompts receive assigned transcript chunks and continuity summaries. Source context does not eliminate model errors; verify facts and voice yourself.

• Live KDP preview

  Review your generated manuscript in a 6 by 9 page-spread preview. Check the exported file separately before sharing or submitting it.

• Paperback layout controls

  The 6 by 9 layout includes mirrored margins, gutters and folios. Always verify the final PDF in KDP Print Previewer before publishing.

• PDF, EPUB, DOCX

  Export PDF for fixed-layout reading, EPUB for reflowable reading, or DOCX for further editing. Preview files in their intended reading software.

• Inline editor and rewrite

  Polish any paragraph with Flash Lite rewrites in place. Tighten, simplify, sharpen, without leaving the page.

• Opportunity analysis

  Before generating, review an AI assessment of the video's educational content and possible book structure. This is guidance, not a prediction of demand or earnings.

• Credit-based, fair pricing

  One credit per chapter. The free plan starts with 10 credits. No surprise per-token charges.

1. 1 / 6
   Step 01

   Paste a YouTube URL

   Start with a video you own or have permission to reuse. VidBook retrieves available captions and can attempt Gemini transcription when captions are unavailable. Video access and transcription can fail; check the extracted text before relying on it.

2. 2 / 6
   Step 02

   Transcript becomes a structure

   VidBook divides the transcript into source chunks and generates a chapter outline. Book generation continues from that outline automatically; there is no outline-approval checkpoint before the chapters are drafted.

3. 3 / 6
   Step 03

   Outline and chapters get drafted

   The selected writing engine drafts chapters using transcript chunks and summaries of preceding chapters. Source grounding helps guide the draft, but AI can still misstate a fact, omit context, or invent a detail. Check the manuscript against your recording.

4. 4 / 6
   Step 04

   Review the generated manuscript

   Read for factual accuracy, missing context, repetition, and the reader's next step. VidBook applies text-cleanup rules during drafting; these do not replace a developmental editor or verify claims, quotations, and permissions for you.

5. 5 / 6
   Step 05

   Polish in the inline editor

   Revise the generated chapters in the editor and use the available AI rewrite controls where helpful. Keep your examples and qualifications intact, check each suggested change, and save your edits before exporting.

6. 6 / 6
   Step 06

   Export and check your files

   Export DOCX for further editing, EPUB for reflowable reading, or a 6×9 paperback-layout PDF. Open the files and inspect the text and layout. For Amazon KDP, prepare a separate cover and resolve Print Previewer warnings before submitting; export is not publishing approval.

• Can VidBook invent facts that are not in the video?+

  It can. Assigning transcript chunks to each chapter reduces unsupported additions, but no generative model can guarantee zero hallucinations. Compare important claims and quotations with the source video before publishing, and edit anything that changes the speaker's meaning.

• How long does a book take to generate?+

  Generation time depends on transcript length, chapter count, model availability and retries. The dashboard shows each pipeline stage while the server-side job runs. Treat the result as a first draft and budget additional time for fact checking, permissions, editing and export review.

• Can I edit the manuscript after generation?+

  Yes. You can edit generated chapters in the in-app editor and use AI rewrite controls on selected passages. Review suggested changes before saving them, then check the manuscript preview and the actual exported file. Rewrite duration depends on the request and provider availability.

• What about copyright when converting a YouTube video to a book?+

  VidBook is a tool. You are responsible for the source material you feed it and the book you publish. Most creators use their own videos, which is the safest path. If you use someone else's content, get permission or rely on fair-use principles you have actually verified with a lawyer.

• Do credits roll over month to month?+

  No. Your monthly credit balance resets each renewal and unused credits do not carry over. Free-plan credits are one-time on signup. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time from the Billing page; new balances apply from the next billing cycle.

• Which export formats are supported for KDP and other stores?+

  Projects can export a 6×9 PDF interior with mirrored margins and gutter spacing, EPUB, and DOCX. KDP requirements vary with page count, bleed, images and cover choices, so review the PDF in Amazon's Print Previewer and correct any reported issue before publication.

• What is the difference between VidBook and ChatGPT or Claude for writing a book?+

  VidBook packages YouTube transcript ingestion, automatic outlining, source-based chapter drafting, editing and file export in one workflow. A general-purpose chat tool gives you a different way to draft and revise text. Choose based on the inputs and editing process you need; neither approach removes the need to check facts, permissions and publishing files.
