9/9/2025 Developing Complex AI Supported Workflows
Folding AI into the workflows for Amazon KDP Books, Newsletters, Blogs, Youtube Video Productions and other productions.

In partnership with
Here’s a Youtube playlist of Amazon KDP Recommendation Videos that Google NotebookLM helped create in One Day. (10 of 33 in development done in one day) :
First I said:
I have a newsletter to do today
I want to discuss the use of AI in the production of Amazon Kindle Docs, with Google Drive, Reedsy, Gemini Images, Canva Bookcovers and illustrations, AI Browser, Google Notebook, Google AI Studio, and other AI Tools
I also what to discuss the use of the same tools and others in the production of Google Youtube Channel Videos
Please draft 10 paragraphs discussing those 2 subject areas
I put the above instructions into Perplexity Comet’s Assistant and received the following response:
I will draft 10 clear, engaging paragraphs — five on using AI tools to produce Amazon Kindle books and five on producing YouTube videos, highlighting best workflows and tool integration. I’ll include Google Drive, Reedsy, Gemini, Canva, AI Browser, Google NotebookLM, Google AI Studio, and other advanced tools as requested.
1. The integration of AI in Amazon Kindle book production has dramatically reshaped how authors research, write, edit, and publish their works. Tools like Google Drive offer cloud-based collaboration, allowing multiple contributors to work on manuscripts in real-time. With AI-driven suggestions, Google Docs simplifies the drafting and revision process, saving time and enhancing writing clarity. This foundational workflow ensures that both text creation and edits happen seamlessly, with version control and easy sharing features fundamental for modern publishing.
2. Reedsy remains at the forefront for indie authors, providing a robust online editor with built-in AI assistance for formatting manuscripts to Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) standards. Reedsy’s marketplace also connects writers with professional editors and designers, many of whom now use AI-augmented tools for rapid proofreading, developmental editing, and layout optimization. The integration of AI-driven formatting ensures that Kindle Docs are both professional and visually polished, ready for global audiences.
3. AI-generated visuals and book covers are another major leap for Kindle authors. Google Gemini and Canva now allow creators to generate custom, high-resolution imagery for covers and interior illustrations. Canva’s user-friendly interface supports drag-and-drop design, while Gemini or similar AI image models can auto-generate unique scene art or concept visuals matching book genres and themes, removing the barrier of needing advanced design skills.
4. The emergence of browser-based AI copilots and tools like Google NotebookLM and AI browsers greatly enhance research for Kindle content. With NotebookLM, authors can manage reference notes, cross-link sources, and employ AI to summarize, fact-check, or suggest new ideas. AI browsers enable direct extraction and citation of online sources, reducing manual research time and improving reference accuracy. These workflows accelerate the non-creative but essential aspects of book production.
5. Modern writers leverage Google AI Studio for creative and technical experimentation. This platform allows code-driven generation of poetry, narratives, chatbots, or instructional content that can be woven into Kindle books. By scripting with large language models or integrating notebooks, authors can create interactive content, auto-generate quizzes, or enhance books with dynamic elements, representing the cutting edge of AI-powered digital publishing.
6. When producing content for YouTube channels, AI delivers similar transformative power, streamlining everything from scriptwriting to thumbnail and video creation. AI models like Gemini and NotebookLM can quickly draft video scripts based on trending topics, repurpose existing articles or newsletters into video-friendly dialogue, and even tailor content for specific audience demographics using advanced language modeling.
7. Canva has become indispensable for YouTubers, especially in designing attention-grabbing thumbnails and channel art. With Canva and Gemini, creators can auto-generate visually impactful graphics and illustrations, employ AI to recommend colors and layouts, and integrate analytics to optimize designs for higher click-through rates. This lifts much of the design burden from video producers focused primarily on content.
8. The use of AI browsers and Google AI Studio expands the research and post-production workflow for YouTube creators. Browsers powered by AI can summarize long-form content, extract key facts, and track trending discussions, supplying creators with the necessary context and data to create current, relevant videos. Google AI Studio can automate editing processes, generate captions, and even synthesize short video segments from text prompts.
9. Google Drive and Docs facilitate cloud-based script management, collaborative editing, and integration with AI plugins. Teams can seamlessly brainstorm, develop, and iterate video concepts, while AI tools review for grammar, engagement metrics, and SEO optimization. This increases the pace at which content can be produced, edited, and scheduled for upload on YouTube.
10. The combination of these advanced tools allows both authors and YouTubers to focus on high-quality storytelling and audience engagement rather than technical hurdles. The synergy between AI-driven research, writing, editing, design, illustration, and publishing/distribution platforms enables creators to operate with the efficiency of much larger teams. As these tools continue to evolve, the barrier to entry for both Kindle publishing and YouTube content creation will continue to fall, inviting a new wave of creativity and innovation.
This draft addresses the impact, best practices, and core workflow integrations for both publishing and video production using today’s top AI tools. If you’d like a more conversational or step-by-step tone, or specific workflow diagrams, let me know!
I reviewed it. I liked it. I revised it. I added the following:

How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential
Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.
Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.
Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.
Paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals.
Tips on using Perplexity Comet as a web browser:
You login and this is what you are faced with. that list of links on the left is twice as long as what you see above. If you’re new, where do you start. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to just ask questions about KDP and where info is on the site?
Well until KDP adds a chatbot to their site (which will probably be never), you can use Perplexity’s Comet’s Assistant you can see on the left. That large black column above.
You can ask questions such as:
How do I write an ebook and schedule a release.
What tools should I use to author and prepare the ebook
what should I do first?
etc.
You can even ask the assistant to suggest questions:
“what are some good questions to ask about this site”?
it replied with:
Here are some good questions you could ask me about the KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) Help Center site:
What are the step-by-step instructions to publish a book on KDP?
How can I format my manuscript for Kindle devices using KDP guidelines?
What are KDP's content and copyright policies?
How does KDP's royalty structure work, and how do I choose between 35% and 70% royalties?
How do I update or edit a published book on Amazon KDP?
What are the best practices for optimizing my book's discoverability on KDP?
What promotional tools (like Kindle Deals, Free Promotions) does KDP offer authors?
How do I track book sales and royalties on the KDP dashboard?
What file formats are accepted by KDP for ebooks and paperbacks?
How do I fix common errors during the KDP publishing process (manuscript, cover, metadata)?
Feel free to ask any of these, or specify a topic (publishing, editing, payments, promotions), and I can provide detailed guidance and synthesize the most up-to-date help from the site!
How about that for helping with helping?
as it turns out, any site you use with a browser can benefit from this support by an AI Browser: Facebook, Beehiiv, ebay, social security site, youtube, news sites, , even other chatbots - a chatbot helping with a chatbot!.
The ai browser assistant can help suggesting improvements to itself to the developer group just by asking it to, avoiding the hassle of the fill in forms.
With mine, I’m trying to develop a “shortcut command language” so make complex steps easier by just typing or saying a single word like “copyu” to replace the copy paste keystroke sequence we have to do so much now.
In the future i’ll explore the use of an AI Browser with many different sites and put the experiences into a book.
Some youtubes I watched last week
Remember to visit Mike at the AI Video School on youtube. (https://www.youtube.com/@aivideoschool) addresses this idea when it comes to AI video production.
The get the ai to write the prompt concept applies to any AI production, including other kinds of media and even code.
