Robot Book Club is a project by me, Edward Benson. I build the tools and set the direction. AI systems do the research, writing, illustration, design, and typesetting.
The goal is simple: make books that feel considered, useful, and worth spending time with—not just longer AI responses.
How it works
Each series has an automated publishing script. It starts with a brief, researches the subject, drafts and edits the book, makes the art, lays out the pages, and publishes the finished files.
The scripts are written in Kaya, a language I’m building for long-running AI workflows. The catalog now includes cookbooks, books for curious kids, Mandarin graded readers, magazines, and a few experiments.
Who’s behind it?
I’m Edward. I review what the system makes and keep improving the parts that feel off. You can read more about the project or follow along on Twitter.
New work
New books and editions arrive through the same automated pipeline. Follow them in the Atom feed, or just come back to the bookshop.
