My review
Aivolut Books is another AI ebook generator, but it comes from the founder of WordHero, so I was curious. WordHero was one of the first AI writing tools on AppSumo, back before ChatGPT, and it is still there with a 4.5-star rating. The team rebuilt their platform, and this is the new book tool.
Why I Tried It
I have reviewed a lot of ebook writers. What I wanted to see here was whether a beginner can get from an idea to a finished book and cover without getting lost. I also wanted to see how credits and tiers play out in real use.
Starting a Book
After signing up, I had 1,000 credits, so I was effectively sampling tier 3. The interactive tutorial is excellent. It does not just point at buttons, it takes you through building a real book.
I chose nonfiction, self-help, and left the topic blank. It generated ideas and I picked Good Enough on Purpose, about escaping perfectionism.
The Brief and Settings
The brief includes the premise, target audience, themes and thesis. I needed an author name, and I would like a pen name generator here. I used ChatGPT to get Adrian Blackwood.
The settings are where the software shines. I picked a TED Talk style, and you can choose point of view, tense, tone and cover direction. I left cover direction and tone on AI decides. I chose one illustration at the start of each chapter, and you can add extra instructions like a personal story to work in.
Credits Are Not the Problem
Before generating, it shows the credit cost. My 10,000-word book was 50 credits. On 2,000 monthly credits that is about 40 books, and you cannot publish that many on KDP anyway. Even 30,000-word books would give you about 13.
Most lifetime deal buyers never come close to using everything. Tier 4 only makes sense if you are ghostwriting or running this as a business.
The Generation
I chose to generate the whole book in one go, and you can also go chapter by chapter. It took just over 10 minutes. I like that balance, because a book written in 5 minutes makes me wonder about quality.
The Writing Quality
The chapters open with a story and the info is helpful, but the text is a bit boring and missing a human touch. I was also surprised there was no real introduction. Chapter 1 did not feel like one.
The built-in images were not great either, and only some chapters got them. I removed them and would use ChatGPT instead.
Cover, Export and Metadata
The PDF export was nice. The cover had an imperfect circle with a missing piece, which fits the topic, and the PDF bundled the title page, copyright and contents. The cover is hidden a bit in the books area, but you can download it alone. There is also metadata and keywords for KDP, and formatting controls for foreword, layout and fonts.
Testing the Quality
I pasted the text into Hemingway and got grade 9, and Grammarly gave 97. ZeroGPT said 85% AI generated, which I expected without a knowledge base. Custom styles and uploaded samples should improve that.
My Verdict
I am highly impressed with the intuitive dashboard and the generous credits. Speed was fine. My main complaint is the writing, which I would grade a C+. With more humanness it would be a B or higher. I gave Aivolut Books 4.4 out of 5, and I would start at tier 2.
Key features
Idea generator
You pick fiction, nonfiction or digital product, choose a genre, and it generates book ideas. You can type a specific topic or leave it blank.
Book brief and outline
It builds a brief with premise, target audience, themes and thesis that you can review before generating. You also set the author name and book length here.
Writing style controls
Choose from styles like conversational expert, TED Talk, David Goggins style or Malcolm Gladwell style, plus point of view, tense and tone. You can create custom styles from a description or a sample.
Custom knowledge bases
Upload your own writing samples and material so the book sounds more like you. Tier 1 gets none, tier 2 starts with 10.
Cover generation
Pick a visual direction such as object-based, monochrome or typographic, or let the AI decide. You can download the cover on its own for uploading.
Credit transparency
Before you generate, it shows the exact credit cost. A 10,000-word book cost 50 credits in my test.
Formatting and metadata
Control table of contents, foreword, layout, images and fonts, and get keywords and metadata for KDP-style uploads.
PDF export
The export bundled a cover, title page, copyright page and contents into a clean PDF.

Pros and cons
What I liked
- Very intuitive dashboard with an interactive onboarding tutorial
- Generous monthly credits, a 10,000-word book cost only 50
- Great writing style and tone controls
- Transparent credit cost before you generate
- Clean PDF export with a nice cover and metadata for KDP

What could be better
- Writing quality felt like a C+, a bit boring and lacking a human touch
- ZeroGPT flagged the text as 85% AI generated
- No real introduction or conclusion control, chapter 1 did not read like an intro
- Built-in chapter images were not great and only appeared on some chapters
- Tier 1 has no custom knowledge base, and key features are locked to tier 4
Who it's for
Authors writing a few books
Tier 2 is the one I recommend, since you get fiction and custom knowledge bases to keep your voice in the book.
Digital product sellers
Even tier 1 includes digital products, handy for short ebooks you sell on your site or email list.
Ghostwriters and book publishers
Tier 4 makes sense if you sell a book writing service or run this as a business, thanks to credits, visual formats and audiobooks.
Limitations: when to look elsewhere
- If you want a human-sounding book without editing, expect to rewrite and add your own stories.
- Visual book formats and kids' picture books need tier 4.
- Books over 30,000 words need tier 4 in my account setup.
