BookGPT (Beta)

This program uses the ChatGPT API to generate books based on your specified parameters.

Installation

To install this program, simply follow these steps:

1. Clone this repository to your local machine by running the following command in your terminal:

   git clone https://github.com/mikavehns/BookGPT.git

2. Navigate to the root directory of the repository using cd BookGPT
3. Install the required dependencies by running the following command:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Prerequisites

In order to use this program, you must have a ChatGPT API key. The API Key must then be inserted into the config.json file.

Usage

To use this program, simply run the following command in your terminal:

python run.py

You will then be prompted to enter the following information:

• Chapter Amount: The amount of chapters you want the book to have.
• Chapter Length: The amount of words you want each chapter to have.
• Topic: The topic you want the book to be about.
• Category: The type of book you want to generate. (Science, Biography, etc.)

The program will then generate a Title and Chapter Titles + Content. You will get a detailed structure of the book. The generated books will then be saved as book.md in BookGPT/src.

Examples

Here are some examples:

• Generate book with 5 chapters and 300 words per chapter, with quotes as chapter title, with the topic "success":

• You can see all examples in the examples/ directory.

Notes

• The run.py file is just one example on how to use the book generator. You can also implement it into a website, discord bot, desktop app, etc.
• The program may take some time to run, depending on the specified parameters and the performance of the ChatGPT API. Please be patient while the book is being generated.
• The program may not always generate the wished amount of words for each chapter. This can happen, if there is not enough data available for the specified topic.
• Currently, it is only possible to generate Non-Fiction books.
• Since this is a really early version (v0.8.0), there are many missing features, that will be added by time
