Purpose-built for book publishers, Insight securely integrates artificial intelligence into day-to-day tasks and workflows.

Key Takeaways:

• Insight is a secure, controlled environment in which publishers can use AI and take advantage of this transformative technology.
• Insight is now available as a subscription, and Veristage invites publishers to experience how Insight can support their work.

Veristage is introducing Insight, an AI platform built specifically for book publishing. Insight uses several large language models, including Chat GPT and Claude, to analyze documents and to generate key metrics, editorial and marketing assets, sales materials, and supplementary content.

“Insight is paving the way for publishers to work securely with AI,” said Veristage co-founder Thomas Cox. “Our robust platform enables publishers to optimize workflows across all stages of the publishing process. As AI technologies rapidly advance, Insight remains future-focused, continuously building out new capabilities and more advanced uses in collaboration with our customers and partners.”

Key Features of Insight

Built to support the entire publishing lifecycle, from manuscript evaluation to marketing and sales, Insight can:

• Read, understand, and summarize documents
• Extract a wide range of classifications, keywords, and metrics
• Create detailed image descriptions and short captions
• Produce audio, marketing, publicity, and sales assets
• Chat with your documents through secure AI Chat
• Connect with existing systems
• Give publishers secure, controlled access to AI tools

“We are thrilled to officially launch Insight,” said Veristage co-founder Thomas Minkus. “Through extensive testing and valuable early feedback, Insight has demonstrated immense potential to add value to editorial, marketing, and sales. We can’t wait for more publishers to experience firsthand how Insight can improve their day-to-day operations.”

Insight’s AI processing power takes just minutes to complete an analysis, after which users can review and edit results grouped into intuitive tabs. The analysis is customized for different document types, including novels, nonfiction, chapters, and textbooks.

Additionally, the platform includes tools for extracting and describing images within a document, generating audiobooks, and downloading reports. Through the secure AI Chat, users can interact directly with documents through customizable voice profiles and several large language models.

Insight is built on a comprehensive and customizable content management system with multiple levels of security, including API access to large language models and data encryption. Insight can be seamlessly integrated into standard publishing workflows and is compatible with publishing-specific formats such as PDF, Word, XML (Onix, JATS), EPUB, and Excel.

Insight is available as a subscription and includes all of the platform’s core functionality. In addition, customers can work with Veristage to configure outputs to their specific needs and integrate Insight into existing systems.
