Great ideas here. I once (accidentally) used AI. I was opening a copy of my ARC on my phone and Copilot asked if I wanted a synopsis of novel, so I said yes. What it dished out was pretty amazing, seeming to understand the characters motivations and emotions and interaction, as well as understanding what the major themes were about and frankly, just what I was hoping people would get from reading the novel. Then I followed up with a couple of questions, asking it to expand on some parts it had glossed over, and that result was terrific too. But then I go all paranoid, wondering if my novel was now uploaded to scary place I didn't want it to be. So I'm still leery of feeding it any more of my work.
That’s fair. You can set most to not train on your data, but once you upload it, it is uploaded. Might as well use it now. I have it trained on all my books and use it extensively. Joanna penn would say that you want to be searchable by the ai so that people can find you when searching.
I also just generally figure they have already exploited me, so now I need to exploit them 100x.
While I personally won't use AI for creative output (making images or writing the actual story), partially because of the questionable copyright and partially because of environmental concerns, I've been intrigued by how it can assist in story analysis and what potential it has in streamlining marketing or providing suggestions for comp titles. For now I've stuck with very specifically book-tailored tools (ProWritingAid's Manuscript Analysis and AutoCrit's tools), though, rather than the larger models like ChatGPT.
"While ProWritingAid focuses on refining the manuscript's content, ManuscriptReport tackles the next critical challenge: marketing your book effectively. ManuscriptReport is designed to save authors and publishers significant time and effort by generating a comprehensive suite of marketing materials directly from the manuscript."
We've been doing reports in other languages as well. So far we had great results in German, Polish and Portuguese. Spanish should be no problem.
We do, however, offer these separately as there wasn't enough demand to add a language selector on the production website. Please contact me privately if you're interested. This contact form works well: https://manuscriptreport.com/contact

Fair concerns. I just want to point out that there's a significant difference between the analysis done by ProWritingAid and ManuscriptReport.
We even wrote a blog post on it here: https://manuscriptreport.com/blog/prowritingaid-vs-manuscriptreport-ultimate-guide-2025

Thanks. What about your services in Spanish?

Interesting topic. I'm sure some writers will for sure find benefit of this. Good work.
