  • Organise manuscript work
  • Resolve research and revision gaps
  • Carry publication follow-through

A useful first result
An editable book project and publishing commitment register with traceable references, resolved discrepancies and specific next actions.

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

Carry my nonfiction manuscript through the research fixes, production handover and launch preparation, keeping the outstanding work moving.

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 your book project, manuscript version, publishing commitment records, current commitments and the connected accounts used to resolve research and revision gaps.

  • Organise manuscript work
  • Resolve research and revision gaps
  • Carry publication follow-through

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.

  1. You · Independent authors

    Carry my nonfiction manuscript through the research fixes, production handover and launch preparation, keeping the outstanding work moving.

  2. Your AI agent · AI Agent Store

    Three claims lack primary sources and the chapter references changed after restructuring. I am resolving those while preparing the production files.

    Work in progress
  3. You · Independent authors

    Keep my voice and distinguish sourced facts from my personal interpretation.

  4. Your AI agent · AI Agent Store

    The manuscript has reconciled references, traceable revisions and a production-ready handover, with launch assets and remaining publication dependencies clearly recorded. Your working files and dashboard reflect the recorded outcomes.

The details your specialist follows

Working records for independent authors

Follow each book project 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: changes in manuscript version, missing publishing commitment evidence and unresolved book project dependencies.

Illustrative project figures. Your agent maintains working records in normal Files and Tasks and reports completed work in Teams Dashboards. Ask it to adapt those records and reports as your workflow changes.

A small tool for a real job

Production checks across the planned work. Before the back-and-forth.

Watch for changes in manuscript version, missing publishing commitment evidence and unresolved book project dependencies. Investigate the cause, carry useful follow-through to completion and improve the saved method when it helps.

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.

Prepared for your business

The numbers behind your ai agent for independent authors.

Six useful measures, ready in your regular Teams dashboard. Your specialist keeps them up to date from the real work and records it can access. Ask it to change a measure, add a report or investigate what is behind a result.

01

Recorded cases · outcomes

Author production packs delivered

What this measures

Count one distinct observed outcome for “Author production packs delivered”, linked to its book project and stable completion-event ID. Use the real completion timestamp and supporting publishing commitment reference. Pending, merely promised, repeated and illustrative outcomes do not count. Revisions or corrections replace the original event rather than creating duplicate completions.

02

Recorded cases · outcomes

Manuscript evidence gaps resolved

What this measures

Count one distinct observed outcome for “Manuscript evidence gaps resolved”, linked to its book project and stable completion-event ID. Use the real completion timestamp and supporting publishing commitment reference. Pending, merely promised, repeated and illustrative outcomes do not count. Revisions or corrections replace the original event rather than creating duplicate completions.

03

Recorded cases · outcomes

Publishing commitments completed

What this measures

Count one distinct observed outcome for “Publishing commitments completed”, linked to its book project and stable completion-event ID. Use the real completion timestamp and supporting publishing commitment reference. Pending, merely promised, repeated and illustrative outcomes do not count. Revisions or corrections replace the original event rather than creating duplicate completions.

04

Average · hours

Complete manuscript brief to production-ready delivery

What this measures

Measure “Complete manuscript brief to production-ready delivery” in elapsed hours using the actual start and end timestamps for the same book project. Store one duration per completed observation with source references and timezone. Exclude pending cases, missing timestamps, reversed intervals and illustrative values. Never substitute a current status or sum recurring snapshots.

05

Observed rate · %

Author publishing milestones met

What this measures

Completed commitments assessed for “Author publishing milestones met”, linked to stable book project references. Numerator: on_time; denominator: on_time plus late from the same assessed population. Classify each observation once and preserve failures. Exclude pending or unknown cases, unassessed records and illustrative values. Compare actual completion with the original agreed deadline and timezone; never move the deadline to improve the result. Corrections replace the original event instead of counting twice.

06

Observed rate · %

Manuscript checks passed

What this measures

Completed assessments for “Manuscript checks passed”, linked to stable book project references. Numerator: passed; denominator: passed plus failed from the same assessed population. Classify each observation once and preserve failures. Exclude pending or unknown cases, unassessed records and illustrative values. Apply the documented requirement or acceptance checklist and retain the actual supporting evidence; do not infer a pass from an administrative status. Corrections replace the original event instead of counting twice.

Your reports start empty. Figures reflect observed work in the selected period; missing records are not treated as measured zeroes. Current jobs, schedules and stock stay in your working files and tasks. You and your agent can adapt the dashboard as your business changes.

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 independent authors. 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

Your agent can take on a new assignment, build a new workflow, improve its saved methods and adapt its dashboard as your needs evolve. The starting examples do not limit its capabilities. 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

Prefer your own AI accounts? Choose a plan without the extra $50 monthly credit funding using the options above. Changing AI access alone does not remove that funding.

Before you begin

An AI agent for independent authors.

How does the agent keep book project work accurate?

Preserve the author's voice, source notes, manuscript history and publishing choices. Coordinate editing, production and launch tasks through actual files and receipts without inventing endorsements, sales or completed publication. It keeps source references with the working files, checks the result and follows up on discrepancies. Ask it to adjust the method or report whenever your needs change.

Is this only for the three tasks shown?

No. This is an AI agent specialised for independent authors, 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 independent authors, its workflows and your book project and publishing commitment 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.
