How to Write a Book with AI in 2026 (Full Step-By-Step Tutorial)

About this video

A step-by-step walkthrough of creating a nonfiction book inside Co-Author AI, a tool the creator discloses is his own software, positioned as an all-in-one alternative to combining separate writing, research, cover, formatting, and plagiarism tools. The process starts with its Niche Hunter, filtering for books with a Best Sellers Rank below 30,000 and at most 100 reviews to find high-demand, low-competition topics, then using a competitive-advantage analysis of rival reviews to pick a differentiated angle. The demo builds a communication-skills book for socially anxious, busy adults around a five-minute framing. An 18-step guided flow follows: title variants, selecting bestselling books to model, positioning, uploading source material, author persona and writing samples, focus tags, word count and chapter count, author bio, and a detailed editable outline. He recommends generating one section at a time so later sections build on earlier ones, then editing with built-in fact-checking and inline tools, formatting, generating a description, front and full cover, A+ content, and an optional trailer, before publishing via Amazon’s free print-on-demand model.

Key takeaways

• Validate the topic first: the demo filters for Best Sellers Rank under 30,000 with 100 or fewer reviews to spot demand with limited competition
• Differentiate rather than copy: mine competitor reviews for underserved angles, such as a five-minute, low-energy approach for introverts
• Set up persona, writing samples, focus tags, and a detailed outline before drafting so generated chapters reflect those choices
• Generate section by section where possible, because each new section can reference what came before and avoid repetition
• Treat the AI output as a first draft: edit it, add your own stories, and use the built-in fact-check, citation, formatting, cover, and A+ content steps before publishing
