A BETTER
SELECTION.

Don't settle for the AI your software chose.

Use a platform designed to harness the best intelligence available for the work in front of you.

Side A / Traditional SaaS

One vendor.
One built-in AI.

Publishing Software → Built-in AI

You work within its limits.

Side B / Orchestrated workflow

The work chooses
the intelligence.

Manuscript or rights task → orchestration layer → suitable frontier or specialist model → reviewed result.

Choose around the task, data policy and review requirements.

Note: These providers have documented APIs. They are options for implementation assessment, not confirmed connections in this preview. Supported routing must be agreed and verified during onboarding; additional providers remain roadmap candidates.

FROM FIRST
TAKE TO NEXT.

01

Bring the source

Bring manuscript files, publishing agreements, permissions, proofs and sales records. Define access and review responsibility.

02

Find the next action

Identify missing rights, unresolved editorial queries, proof corrections, inventory discrepancies and royalty mismatches.

03

Review. Then release.

Authorized teams review AI findings, approve corrections and release verified records to the next publishing stage.

Publishing AI agents.
Built for real
publishing workflows.

A rights exception needs a workflow, not another chat window.

  1. Workflow A manuscript proposal arrives for assessment.
  2. Agents Check completeness, compare revisions and flag missing evidence.
  3. Tools Manuscripts, publishing agreements, permission records and editorial review tools.
  4. Execution Route missing evidence to the responsible editor or rights reviewer. Require approval before advancing.
  5. Outcome A traceable publishing decision with the source evidence.

Agent workflows are scoped to your tools, permissions and approval policy. AI findings support review; they do not provide legal authority or automatically approve contracts.

YOUR TOOLS.
IN THE MIX.

Your existing tools can become part of the AI workflow. These documented APIs are implementation options; this preview does not connect to your accounts.

Metadata / publication

ONIX for Books

Book metadata exchange can support publication release and distribution workflows. Validation and delivery mapping require an explicitly scoped implementation.

Official API documentation ↗
Scheduling

Google Calendar API

Calendar events and availability can support editorial, production and author coordination with the required permissions.

Official API documentation ↗
Commerce / finance

Stripe API

Authorised payment and invoice records can support publishing-service billing and financial review workflows.

Official API documentation ↗

Note: Tool names and marks belong to their respective owners. No endorsement or partnership implied.

Keep the identifiers.
Respect the rights.

ISBN

International Standard Book Number

Preserve edition identifiers across publication records; this platform checks consistency but does not issue official ISBN assignments.

ONIX

ONIX for Books

A metadata exchange standard for book publishing. Validation and delivery mapping require an explicitly scoped implementation; no ONIX conformance is claimed.

Note: Informational context for catalog and rights workflows. Standards, licensing and legal obligations must be assessed for your operation; no certification is claimed.

Add the hardware your workflow needs.

Generic third-party devices, connected through a defined interface. Compatibility and any additional ingestion work are verified during scoping.

Third-party / compatible equipment

Document scanner

USB or network scan-to-file → document upload → Contracts & Rights. Capture signed publishing agreements as reviewable source documents.

Third-party / compatible equipment

Proof scanner

USB or network scan-to-file → proof upload → Proofs & Prepress. Attach page proofs for correction-round comparison; direct print-device control is not claimed.

Third-party / compatible equipment

Barcode reader

USB keyboard input → edition or inventory search field → Order Matching. Look up a publication identifier and review its linked records.

Note: Hardware, installation, and integration are not included in the standard subscription. Additional charges apply based on the hardware selected, integration modules required, and implementation scope.

What your onboarding
fee covers

A one-time setup for publishing agreements, manuscript records, rights data and production workflows. Fees are starting points; final scope depends on source data, security, connections and deployment requirements.

Setup / 01

Essential

Starting at$1,000+one-time

  • Kickoff and publishing-operations rollout plan
  • Workspace and administrator setup
  • Initial manuscript, agreement and catalogue import
  • Rights, production and royalty views configured
  • Reviewer roles and permissions
  • Core workflow acceptance checks
  • Team handbook and go-live handoff
Setup / 03

Enterprise

Starting at$5,000+one-time

Everything in Plus, plus:

  • Multi-imprint or multi-team implementation plan
  • Bespoke APIs and SSO configuration
  • Bulk catalogue cleansing and rights-record mapping
  • Role-specific training and administrator enablement
  • Named rollout manager and agreed go-live milestones

Two ways to run it.
The same subscription.

Cloud (SaaS)

Managed hosting, updates and backups for your publishing-operations workspace. Start without provisioning your own infrastructure.

Private / self-hosted

Run the same platform in your own cloud, VPC or on-prem environment for sensitive manuscripts, agreements and royalty records. The subscription stays the same; onboarding scope may differ.

BEFORE
YOU PRESS PLAY.

01Does this cover both publishing and literary-agency work?

Yes. The workspace covers manuscript proposal assessment, publishing agreements, rights and permissions, editorial production, prepress, publication release, distribution operations and royalties or billing.

02Does AI make legal or editorial decisions?

Your reviewers make the decisions. Extraction, comparison and risk flags help prioritise work; agreement interpretation and legal advice remain with qualified people, and contracts are never automatically approved.

03Can we bring our current manuscript files and tools?

Yes, migration and connections can be scoped around your source formats, API access and permissions. Named tools are documented API options, not preconnected accounts.

04What is included in the subscription?

The subscription covers the platform scope agreed for your team. One-time setup, third-party hardware, installation and additional integration work are scoped separately.

05Can we use private infrastructure?

Cloud and Private / self-hosted options use the same subscription positioning. Infrastructure, data handling and implementation requirements shape the one-time onboarding scope.
