Asked Gemini for a chapter and got a summary?

AIWriteBook writes each chapter on its own, from your outline, your characters and a sample of your writing, so you get a chapter with scenes and dialogue, not a recap. Keep going until it is a book you can publish.

It forgets the facts
after about 30 messages, it started forgetting things … dark eyes and suddenly he had blue eyes

nukes the conversation … everything before it is scrubbed

Gemini prices from gemini.google subscriptions, October 2026.

Worried about switching?

I already pay for Gemini. Am I paying twice?
Keep Gemini for research. AIWriteBook needs no other AI subscription, your outline and first chapter are free, and then plans start at $12/mo billed yearly, or buy a one-time pack of 250 credits for $20.
My research is in Gemini. Can I use it?
Yes. Paste your notes into a document and add it as a reference file. Non-fiction chapters are written from your references with citations.
Will it still sound like me?
Paste a few paragraphs of your own writing on the Details step and every chapter is written in that style. The AI Editor shows each change as a highlight you accept or reject.
What happens to the draft I already have?
Import it as a .docx file of up to 200,000 words. Your characters and notes come in free, and the first import is free until you buy anything.

Where Gemini is better

We would rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one.

  • Research, sourcing and citations, with a context window of up to 1M tokens on paid plans.
  • It works inside Gmail and Google Docs, and paid plans bundle Google storage.
  • A low entry price: AI Plus is $4.99 a month.

  2. Get your outline and characters

    Review the plan, change anything, and paste a sample of your writing.

  3. Write chapter one free

    Read it, accept or reject edits, then decide whether to keep going.

Questions writers ask

Why does Gemini make my chapters so short?

In a long chat it tends to summarize. AIWriteBook writes each chapter on its own from your outline, so a chapter is a chapter and not a recap.

Is AIWriteBook better than Gemini for writing a book?

For a whole book, yes. Gemini is a strong research assistant, but the story lives in one chat that grows until details slip. AIWriteBook keeps your outline, characters and Story Bible in one project, writes each chapter against the outline, and ends with print and ebook files.

Does AIWriteBook allow explicit fiction?

Yes. Explicit adult fiction is allowed on every plan, including free. No safety filter wipes your chapters.

Can I use Gemini for research and AIWriteBook for the book?

Yes, that is how many writers work. Bring your research in as a reference file and your draft as a .docx of up to 200,000 words.

How much does it cost compared with Gemini?

Gemini AI Pro is $19.99 a month. AIWriteBook is free to start with your outline and first chapter, plans start at $12/mo billed yearly, and one-time packs start at $20 for 250 credits.

Can I publish to Amazon KDP from AIWriteBook?

Yes. The Format step on Pro gives you a print-ready PDF and a KDP wrap cover, plus an EPUB and a DOCX. You upload them to KDP yourself.
