Content Sources: overview

Content Sources are your own reference materials that Youbooks can draw information from when generating books.

Important:

• Sources are optional.
• Sources do not define your book’s content — your prompt does.
• Each book project can use up to 3 Content Sources.

When to use sources

Use sources when you want:

• the book to follow your internal notes, transcripts, or documents,
• more accurate terminology or domain detail,
• the book to reflect your material (instead of generic internet-level writing).

What sources can contain

Sources are text documents (uploaded files). Youbooks extracts text and uses it as reference.

You can upload things like:

• study notes
• research drafts
• interview transcripts
• podcast/video transcripts (as text files)
• internal documentation

Youbooks does not accept URLs or videos directly — convert to text first.

How sources affect a book

• Sources influence content and facts.
• Sources do not influence style/voice.

• Create a Content Source
• Use sources in a book project
