Hey Sumo-lings! 👋

I’m Casper, co-founder of First Book ai—and we’re back on AppSumo!

Since our last launch, a lot has happened.

First Book ai has now helped 2,400+ authors across 60+ countries generate more than 10,000 books. Seeing that many ideas turn into real manuscripts has been unreal. And as always, we listened carefully to the feedback.

That’s why we’re launching Version 3.0.

This is not a small update. We rebuilt the platform from the ground up.

What’s new in Version 3.0?

✅ Completely redesigned app with a clear chapter-by-chapter writing flow

✅ Stronger, more consistent AI output across the entire book

✅ Improved onboarding so your manuscript truly reflects your voice and expertise

✅ Smoother editing and regeneration experience inside each chapter

✅ A brand-new Author’s Club community to help you go from finished manuscript to published book

The biggest change is the structure.

You now move through your book step by step. Chapter 1. Then Chapter 2. Then Chapter 3. Each chapter builds naturally on the previous one, creating a cohesive, professional manuscript from start to finish.

If you missed us before, here’s why we built this in the first place:

After writing my first book, which took more than two years, I knew there had to be a better way. Lucas and I created First Book ai so busy professionals could finally turn their knowledge into a real book without spending years doing it.

How does it work? 🤖

You answer a few guided questions about your idea, expertise, and stories. Our AI then crafts a structured nonfiction manuscript based on your input. Think of it as having a focused co-author helping you go from idea to full book—without the overwhelm.

And now, with the Author’s Club, we help you with what comes next:

📖 Finalizing your book

📖 Covers and formatting

📖 Self-publishing step by step

📖 Approaching publishers

📖 Using your book to grow your brand or attract clients

To everyone who supported us before—thank you. And to those discovering First Book ai for the first time, welcome.

We can’t wait to help you write your book.

Cheers,

Casper & the First Book ai Team

Hey Sumo-lings! 👋

Yep, we’re back—launch #3!

It’s Casper here, co-founder of First Book ai, and I just want to say: wow. Over 1,000 new authors have joined us since we first launched on AppSumo.

The stories you’ve shared, the feedback you’ve given, and the books you’ve published… it’s been wild—in the best way. And we’ve used your input to make this version our biggest and most flexible yet.

Here’s what’s new for this round:

🚀 Tier 5: You asked for more firepower—so we added it. Now you can generate 20 full books + 20 blueprints every month.

🌍 Languages: Multilingual support is here.

⚙️ More control: Outline flexibility, better editing, and smarter structure options.

New here? Here’s what First Book ai does:

You answer a few guided questions.

Our AI ghostwriter turns that into a full, professional book draft.

No fluff. No wasted time. Just a clean manuscript in hours—not months.

Perfect for coaches, consultants, solopreneurs, and creators who want to grow their credibility, build a lead magnet, or finally get that book idea out of their head and into the world.

Real talk from fellow Sumo-lings:

🗣️ “The draft was returned about two hours later and was brilliant… three days later I was published on Amazon!” — LeadWorks

🗣️ “Some books were almost ready to publish after the first try. The interface is intuitive and easy to use.” — CyberSumo

🗣️ “It does exactly what it promises: blueprints or full books based on a handful of questions. A 160-page book in 24 hours is impressive.” — 2bdb880…

And this gem from another user:

🗣️ “It felt like having a writing coach + ghostwriter in one.”

We’re super proud of what’s new in this version—and incredibly grateful to the Sumo-lings who’ve helped shape it.

So if you’re ready to finally write that book (without locking yourself in a cabin in the woods), now’s the time.

Let’s make you an author.

Cheers,

Casper & the First Book ai Team

What are past projects, failures, or successes you’ve had in your career?

So, let me take you on a little trip down memory lane—specifically, my two-year journey from idea to published book. If there was an award for “Most Mistakes Made by a First-Time Author,” I’d have taken home the trophy!

I kicked off this adventure with a grand vision, thinking I’d whip up my masterpiece in a few months. Spoiler alert: I was wrong. I faced everything from writer’s block to formatting headaches, and at one point, my manuscript might as well have been a puzzle with missing pieces.

Luckily, the book turned out great, but I sure would have loved to spend less time getting there.

Now, I team up with Lucas, who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. Together, we’re on a mission to make this process a breeze for other aspiring authors. Why take two years to figure it all out when you can get it right from the start?

With First Book ai, we’re dedicated to making writing enjoyable and efficient—because let’s be honest, nobody should have to sacrifice their social life for a book!

Best,

Casper Brix

What’s the origin of the idea for your product?

After writing my first book, I realized how challenging the process can be for first-time authors. It took me over two years to complete, and I had to navigate through writer’s block, formatting issues, and other hurdles. I teamed up with Lucas, our AI and prompt engineering expert, to create a tool that simplifies the process of writing and publishing a book. We’re passionate about helping others enjoy the benefits of authorship without sacrificing years of their lives in the process. First Book AI was born from our personal experience and desire to make book writing an enjoyable, efficient journey for everyone.

What problem is your product solving and how?

First Book ai solves the problem of overwhelming complexity in the book writing process, particularly for first-time authors. Many aspiring writers struggle to organize their ideas and turn them into a finished manuscript. Our platform uses AI to break down the process into manageable steps, from idea generation to a complete professional manuscript. What sets us apart is our focus on quality AI-generated content that truly reflects each author’s vision, as well as our step-by-step, user-friendly approach. We’re not just a generic book generator - we're a purpose-driven tool designed to help authors create business books that align with their personal or professional goals, whether it’s for thought leadership, personal branding, or lead generation.

What’s the #1 thing you’re looking to gain from the AppSumo campaign?

The number one thing we’re looking to gain from the AppSumo campaign is feedback and real-world published author use cases. We want to hear from a wide range of first-time authors about their experiences with our platform. This will help us improve the tool and expand its capabilities and features.

What are your plans with the customers, cash, and learnings from the AppSumo campaign?

If we achieve our goals through the AppSumo campaign, we’ll use the customer feedback to refine and enhance the platform further. Our next steps include expanding our AI capabilities to offer even more tailored suggestions and improving the user experience to make the process even smoother. The cash will help fuel our development efforts and grow our marketing reach. We plan to scale First Book ai by adding new features, such as more diverse book genres and additional publishing tools.

Any details to clarify about the deal?

Customers don't get unlimited revisions as mentioned on the AppSumo listing right now. We only support English language for now.
