ChatGPT can draft pages. Folio keeps the book together.
Writing a book with ChatGPT can work for brainstorming, outlining, and fast prose. The hard part is usually keeping a full manuscript coherent across chapters, source material, revision, and export. Gixo Folio gives that work a book workspace: import material, maintain a chapter plan, use Story Bible context, review the manuscript, and export only after the book is ready.
