Frequently Asked Questions

Dictate is an AI-powered book writing service that turns your expertise into a professionally written book. You talk, we capture your Voice DNA, and our AI writes your book in YOUR voice — using your stories, frameworks, and ideas from recorded interviews.

Generic AI tools produce generic content. Dictate is fundamentally different: (1) Your book comes from YOUR interviews — we never fabricate content. (2) Voice DNA technology captures your unique speaking patterns and writing style. (3) A 5-agent AI system handles research, interviewing, planning, writing, and editing. (4) The result sounds like YOU wrote it, not like an AI generated it.

Dictate is designed for domain experts who have valuable knowledge but not the time or writing skill to produce a book. This includes consultants, founders, executives, coaches, doctors, professors, and anyone whose expertise deserves a wider audience.

Your book is written as you interview — so the pace is driven by how quickly you complete your interviews. The Authority Book requires about 5-10 hours of interviews, and most clients finish their interview sessions within a few weeks by doing 1-2 per week. End to end — including writing, review, and publishing — the service agreement estimates 16 to 28 weeks, and many authors finish well ahead of that. The manuscript is generated alongside your interviews, so when you're done talking, your book is essentially done. Near the start of your journey, your Author Concierge helps you create a Marketing Blueprint and walks you through options for additional deliverables, launch assets, and managed execution before writing begins.

Just your time and expertise. You'll have phone conversations with our AI interviewer (5-15 hours depending on your package), review chapter drafts in Google Docs, and provide feedback via comments. No writing required from you.
