Create books on any topic with ChatGPT
This weekend wanted to try out the streaming ChatGPT API. As test project, created a simple website, which allows you to create whole books by providing just the title (with optional extra instructions). Given the title of the book, table of contents, chapters and sections with text content are generated. All books are listed on the home page, sorted into topic categories. As a bonus, when reading a specific section of a chapter, you can use the chat interface to ask for clarifications, request more content, list relevant topics, etc. The system does quite well with knowledge based books…
Create books on any topic with ChatGPT launched on August 6, 2023 with 13 votes, #1,597 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.
In plain words
This website generates complete books using ChatGPT by accepting only a title and optional instructions. The system automatically creates a table of contents, chapters, and sections with text content, which are organized by topic on the homepage. Readers can ask follow-up questions about specific sections through a built-in chat interface to request clarifications, additional content, or related topics. The tool works well for knowledge-based books like history but requires more prompt adjustments for literary works.

Turning books into chatbots with GPT-32023 · konjer.xyz · ▲261So far I've used it to reference ideas from books I've read before. I've also used it to explore books I have not read before by asking the bot questions. Some people have told me they use it like a reading companion. They pause while reading the book if they have a question, and use Konjer to answer it.

- IGInstabooks GPT – Generate textbooks on any subject within ChatGPT2023 · chat.openai.com · ▲5
This holiday weekend, I created a GPT for Instabooks, which allows you to instantly generate textbooks on any topic within ChatGPT. Why? ChatGPT is great for learning stuff, but sometimes you just want to go deep and read an entire book about something. For example, there's a great talk by Stephen Wolfram that just goes over my head (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLMZAHyrpyo), so I copy/pasted the transcript into the GPT and it generated a textbook that goes deep into all the topics from that video…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
