“Use my records to prepare resolved correction register. Reconcile the details, save the working files and show me what needs following up.”
- Resolved correction register
- Validated final files
- Publisher delivery manifest
A useful first result
Resolved correction register, with supporting references and outstanding details kept together.
Example assignment, not a promised delivery time. Your agent works from the records and access you provide. Add connections when you want it to act in other systems.
A conversation at your desk
Close the illustrated series for the publisher.
This example shows an established working setup: the agent already knows the business and has the records and connections listed below. Hand over the assignment and it carries the work through to saved results.
Illustrative project · configured agent at work
A configured agent with manuscripts, artwork, publisher specifications, proof comments, production tools and project correspondence.
- Resolved correction register
- Validated final files
- Publisher delivery manifest
A working specialist can handle the project, with a configured team sharing the work where available. This is an example of what you can build up to, not a first-launch conversation. Timing and usage depend on the assignment.
- Production studio owner
Take these eight titles through final corrections and handover. Consolidate the author comments, chase missing captions and deliver the print and ebook packages to the publisher.
- Your AI agent · AI Agent Store
Two proof rounds contain conflicting figure captions. I’m matching the images to the editor’s source list and resolving those queries while the other titles continue through checks.
Work in progress - Production studio owner
Keep each publisher’s filename rules and include the final correction history.
- Your AI agent · AI Agent Store
All eight delivery packages are uploaded and acknowledged. I reconciled the corrections, checked the print files and digital validation reports, and saved the exact final manifest with the editor’s decisions linked to each title.

The useful next step
Manuscript and asset intake
Prepare resolved correction register from the available records. Save the supporting references and mark any missing details so the next step stays clear.
A small tool for a real job
Pages in production. Before the back-and-forth.
Review overdue editorial queries, conflicting corrections, proof decisions and file validation results; move each title toward its contracted handover.
Try the numbers, then bring the confirmed brief to your specialist. Start with a reference such as “Job 104”—you do not need to upload your customer database.

- Proof round
- Delivery status

Pages in production
Planning arithmetic from your inputs. Your specialist can turn the confirmed details into a working brief. This is not a quote or capacity commitment.
The details your specialist follows
The last proof should really be the last proof.
Follow each title and edition through the working record. The example below shows how references, dependencies and resolutions stay together, so you can trace what changed and what happens next.
Keep an eye on: review overdue editorial queries, conflicting corrections, proof decisions and file validation results; move each title toward its contracted handover.

Keep the tools that already work
Specialised in your trade. Open to your next idea.
Your AI agent starts with the details of your business already in mind. The three workflows are starting points. Ask it for help with another task in the same conversation.
An AI agent prepared for your business
The starting instructions, intake questions and working rules already match book production studios. Add your service list and one example of your tone when you are ready.
Give your agent the whole job
Give your agent an outcome, the access it needs and your budget. It handles routine decisions and follows through in your connected tools, asking when a missing business decision needs you. Set or change your own boundaries whenever you want.
Ask beyond the starting workflows
Build a publisher-specific intake checklist, reconcile a backlist conversion programme or investigate where proof rounds repeatedly slip. Give your agent another task in plain language. What it can carry out depends on the tools you connect and the access you choose.
Recommended starting plan

Before you begin
Before the final proof.
Our typesetters and editors already have their own tools.
Your agent coordinates the files, queries, corrections and deadlines around those tools. It keeps a single traceable production record while your specialists continue using their normal applications.
Is this only for the three tasks shown?
No. This is an AI agent specialised for book production studios, with three prepared workflows to get you started. You can ask for writing, research, planning, analysis or another task in the same chat. It can make routine decisions and carry the work through using available tools. You set its boundaries; it asks when a real business decision or missing access needs you.
What happens after I subscribe?
After payment, we prepare your AI agent for book production studios, its workflows and your title production register dashboard. Your regular Agent Teams chat opens when setup is ready. Files, Tasks, settings and billing work the same as for other customers. Reports start empty and count actual reported work; the examples above are illustrative.
Do I need to connect email or messaging?
No. Prepare your first brief and draft here. Connect external channels later when you want the specialist to work there.
Does this replace my existing business software?
Use it alongside your current tools for preparing work and organising jobs. Live stock, availability, sending and payment records require a verified connection or your own confirmation.
