Silverside AI developers recently unveiled Hypnovels, a Generative Artificial Intelligence platform promising to transform the way books are enjoyed, shared, and promoted. This innovative platform, already available in beta phase at hypnovels.com (password: Reading2024), represents a powerful marketing tool enabling authors to create captivating animations from their book content in just a few simple steps and within hours.
In just four simple steps, any author can bring to life a multimedia experience that would otherwise require months of work and a considerable investment in creative resources. Authors only need to input the text of a chapter, briefly describe the book’s setting, select a visual style and narrator’s voice, and in a few hours, they’ll obtain an engaging animation that reflects their unique vision! These Hypnovels are ready to be shared with existing and potential readers, who likely wouldn’t have discovered their works otherwise.
“We’re leveraging the incredible power of Artificial Intelligence to help authors worldwide promote their books more effectively and attract a broader audience,” says Rob Wrubel, co-founder of Silverside AI and former CEO founder of the pioneering search engine Ask Jeeves.
For readers, Hypnovels represents a new way to immerse themselves in books, designed to keep even the most restless audience engaged. “There are many AI applications attempting to turn words into movies,” comments PJ Pereira, award-winning advertising veteran and founder of Silverside AI. “But this isn’t one of them. Hypnovels defines a new language, specifically created to draw people towards reading.”
The idea of Hypnovels arose when Pereira used AI to promote his science fiction novel, “The Girl from Wudang.” Realizing that the same format could be applied to other books, as long as the tool was simple and flexible enough to adapt to different types of stories, the seed of this revolutionary platform was born. “As an author and creative, I understand the power of a beautiful image to immerse people in a story,” Pereira notes. “Through AI, we can bring the same level of production exclusive to major advertisers into the hands of authors worldwide.”
The Hypnovels platform represents a unique fusion of AI and creativity, combining various forms of AI into one: GPT4 for interpretation, Stable Diffusion for animation, Eleven Studios for voice, and multiple individually created artistic styles.
But the true value of Hypnovels lies in how these technologies are adapted to enhance the reader’s experience. “As an author, I want my readers to form their own images in their minds. The animations Hypnovels generates are a complement that intensifies the experience,” Pereira adds.
To ensure these stunning visual effects reach the right audience, Silverside has partnered with BookTrib, a leading online platform for readers and a marketing engine for authors and publishers. Meryl Moss, creator of BookTrib and president and founder of Meryl Moss Media Group, a literary marketing and media relations company with 30 years in the book publishing and promotion business, believes Hypnovels will change the game in promoting literary works. “Thanks to the magic of artificial intelligence, authors and publishers now have a completely new way to attract readers to their content,” Moss states. “Readers will get lost in new literary works thanks to this innovative fusion of words and visual elements. And classics will receive a completely new life that will delight current fans and attract new ones to these fresh interpretations.”
With Hypnovels, literature promotion is about to undergo an unprecedented transformation.
