Immense possibility, hopefully they will extend simple intuitve features
Writing a whole 200 page book based on the description, a self-written chapter, a 8X3 TOC and some anecdotes is not the most professional approach. There should be other book reerences, author notes and memos on specific sections, any specific inputs by each chapter. It is such a great platform, but these simple fixes need to be incorporated so that the initial draft can be consumable. Otherwise it is a lot of generalities and takes more work to edit than writing ground up.

May 30, 2025Hi Sally,
Thank you for your honest feedback — and for giving First Book ai a try. We really appreciate the thoughtful points you’ve raised here.
You’re absolutely right that for some users, especially those with publishing experience, more detailed input options per chapter (like memos, research notes, or per-section customization) would be incredibly helpful. We’ve heard this from others too, and it’s something we’re actively exploring as part of our upcoming roadmap. It’s exactly the kind of feedback that helps us make the tool better.
That said, we’ve seen over 300 first-time authors get published using our current 8x3 structure — often with minimal editing — but we know it’s not perfect for every use case. We’re working hard to balance ease of use with flexibility, and your review is a great reminder of where we still need to grow.
We’d love to keep the conversation going — feel free to reach us at hello@firstbook.ai if you have more suggestions or want to be part of shaping what’s next.
Best regards
