Free AI Tools for Business Authors

Wide shot Laptop screen showing a business author

I’ve been focused on writing my new book The AI-Powered Thought Leader.

During the course of writing the book (with a massive amount of AI assistance), I developed a couple of simple AI tools for myself.

I want to make them available to anyone writing (or who wants to write) a business book as I think they’ll be very useful for you

💸 These tools are completely free for anyone to use

📱 You must have a ChatGPT account (free or paid: both work) to use these

👁️ I do not see any of the input text or conversation (but OpenAI probably will!)

Tool 1: Create a Target Reader Profile

Understanding your audience is essential for any nonfiction author. This tool helps you quickly define your ideal reader, ensuring your content hits the mark.

If you’re writing a business book (or any type of nonfiction) this tool will help you clarify who you’re writing for.

You can either answer questions about your book, give it your website address, a link to a book’s sales page, or a competitor’s website, and it will create a profile.

This is perfect for when you’re in early stages of planning your book.

Tool 2: Developmental Editor for Business Authors

Editing a book manuscript can be daunting, particularly developmental editing. This tool allows you to upload your manuscript in text format (.docx, .txt, and probably PDF) and get detailed, chapter-by-chapter feedback.

It highlights areas for improvement in structure, flow, and clarity, crucial for a compelling business book.

This is perfect for when you’re in the later stages of editing your book.

The power of Custom GPTs

These tools might not be useful to everyone, but for those who can’t use them directly, consider the broader potential of custom GPTs.

They can be tailored to meet a wide range of needs, making them versatile tools for various applications.
