How it works

The products are downstream of one data operation

That is the whole idea — nothing here runs on guesswork or recycled advice.

01 — Gather

89 sources — publisher feeds, AI labs, retail signals, reader communities and live court dockets — pulled and scored twice every day.

02 — Measure

We track what readers are actually buying at trope and sub-genre level, refreshed against live retail data rather than last year’s advice. The public cut of that work is the 2026 Romance Demand Report — 378 romance BookTok hashtags analysed, and the five tropes where reader demand outruns the published supply by up to 125 to 1.

03 — Build

That signal lands directly in the products — the ads an author runs, the year they plan, the books they decide to write next.

04 — Prove

Every capability across the group is re-proven daily. 1,271 are live right now; anything that cannot be proven is marked unproven and does not count.

Position

Where we stand on AI

We build AI tools for authors, and we’re the first to say the technology has been oversold to writers. So we’re specific about what we do.

We don’t sell “write your book for you.” The products do the commercial work around the writing — research, advertising creative, scheduling, planning — so the author spends their hours on the pages.

Disclosure is the default. Coral Wire is presented by an AI host and says so on every edition. Generated creative is labelled where the platform supports it and wherever a reader would reasonably want to know.

The author owns the work. Manuscripts, brand assets and reader lists belong to the author, and they leave with them.

This is a live argument in the writing community. We’d rather be on the record than quietly on either side of it.
