jimrexwisemanQ: Will Youbooks clean up source material?
I am so happy to see this product. I bought a multi-tier competing product, which is OK...but it keeps repeating itself--a lot. It repeats in the same chapter, and throughout the book if it's the same concepts.
Plus, it uses all the horrible buzzwords that indicate it's AI-generated. If I produce a 75-page book, it will use "journey" 150 times, "fost" 150 times, "embrace" 120 times, etc.
1) If I used a pdf from a book that I "wrote" on the other system, would it elminate the redundancies? other than the AI-isms, repetition and buzzwords, it's OK, so there is good source material to use.
2) is there a way to program it to program it to not use buzzwords and annoying catchphrases like "Working tirelessly," and "at the end of the day?" - you know stuff people who don't know what they're talking about say to sound like they know?

Nov 30, 2025A: There was a bug with repetition that was the result of a recent upgrade. We believe we resolved this but just to make sure, please reach out via support and provide us with the book id of the affected project. We will refund it so you can try it again.
1) On the buzwords - we need to keep our prompts as neutral as possible so that the user can control the output. Try including stylistic directions on how the AI should write (you can include them in a style prompt, or in the book description itself). We are now using ChatGpt for the final writing step, which can follow style directions very well. In general, we refrain from forcing any style on our side (humanization, or other style direcitons) to stay out of the way of the user's intentions.
2) Yes, you can prompt it. See answer above. Anotehr way would be to use a human model, but be prepared to edit a bit more as humanization introduces imperfections.
Ioannis, thank you for the quick response. I meant the repetition problem was with a competitor's model that I own. I should have separated the thought into another paragraph. But, it's good to know that you found the same problem in your own model but you did something about it. I'll be buying from you.
