0:00Hey guys, Autocrit has just put out a
0:02number of new updates to their AI
0:04integration inside of Autocrit. Autocrit
0:07is not an AI platform overall, but they
0:09do have some really savvy AI
0:11integrations that I think are great, and
0:12they've just upgraded them. So, I
0:14thought I would give you the lowdown on
0:16what is going on there, plus some really
0:18important information if you're seeing
0:20this before Black Friday or Cyber Monday
0:22uh in 2025 that we we need to talk about
0:25as well. And just so you know, this
0:28video is not sponsored by Autocrit. I do
0:29have an affiliate link down below that
0:31you can check out if this sounds
0:32interesting to you. But let's get into
0:34the video. All right. So, in a previous
0:36video, I had outlined some of the new
0:38features that they added like the alpha
0:40reader. So, you if you go up here at the
0:42top to story analyzer, you'll see this
0:46one that says alpha read. Let me see if
0:48I can zoom in a bit. Um, click on this
0:51alpha read, story analyzer plus, beta
0:54read, and market fuel. All of which I
0:56think are fantastic additions to this
0:57platform and super helpful for any
0:59author who wants to make a living with
1:01their books, especially this market fuel
1:03stuff which analyzes your book and gives
1:05you a bunch of marketing assets. So that
1:06like that's super valuable in my
1:08opinion. But also having these uh beta
1:11and alpha readers is really interesting
1:13too. So they have a bunch of pre-made
1:14ones like this one known as the harsh
1:16critic. Uh but you can also create your
1:18own depending on what niche you're in
1:20and so forth. Uh but they've made a
1:23number of improvements to this based on
1:25some feedback. In fact, there was one
1:27thing I had met with them just a couple
1:29of weeks ago, like maybe six weeks ago,
1:32and gave them some feedback on this, and
1:34they literally came to me last week and
1:36were just like, "Hey, we did that thing
1:37you asked." And I was blown away. So,
1:40they're clearly listening to authors and
1:42want to know ways that they can improve.
1:44And so, some of those are here today.
1:46The first thing I want to mention here
1:48is that we have a first read and a
1:50reread button. What this does is uh
1:53let's say you you get the analysis of
1:56your book and you think okay that's fair
1:58and you go and you bake make a bunch of
1:59changes and you want to do a reread to
2:03see if it improves. What this does is it
2:05actually allows you to first of all you
2:06get to keep your history so you can see
2:08what it said the first time which was
2:10not the case before and now with the
2:12reread you can uh it has the context of
2:16what was wrong in the previous instance.
2:20And so now it will know what you have
2:23changed and it will know if it's better
2:26or not. And also if you actually do
2:29those edits here inside of autocrit, as
2:32long as you do it inside the the
2:33platform, it will actually know what
2:35changes you made specifically and be
2:37able to give you feedback on that. So
2:39that is a really handy feature right
2:41there. Additionally, this little arrow
2:44to the side of first read and reread uh
2:47gives you this little box where you can
2:48provide additional context. So, if
2:50there's just something you want it to
2:51know, um like I I don't know, like maybe
2:56uh maybe you're subverting a specific
2:57trope and you want to make sure that
2:59they know that you have the trope in
3:01there, but you're subverting it or
3:03you're trying to take things a little
3:04bit in a different direction and you
3:06want it to make sure it knows that and
3:07has that context. you can do that or
3:10whatever additional context you want it
3:12to have in this space. This also allows
3:15you to override some of the commands
3:17that you might see in the instructions
3:19for the beta reader. So for this one,
3:22for the harsh critic, it has all of
3:23these instructions on how it is supposed
3:25to react to your book. Um, so if you
3:29want to override any of this without
3:31actually coming in here and changing it
3:32because maybe you only want to change
3:34something for this specific readth
3:36through, that's a good instance where
3:39this additional context area could be
3:42useful for you. All right, the next
3:43thing that I am super excited about,
3:45this is probably the thing that got me
3:47the most excit Well, it's it's one of
3:48the things that got me the most excited
3:50is as you scan through what it gave you
3:53for feedback on your book, you'll notice
3:56now there are these little pound signs
3:58or hashtags for you young people. If you
4:01click on one of these, it will actually
4:03take you to that moment in the book
4:06where it is highlighting that thing. So
4:09in this case we got premise and hook and
4:11the strength is the central idea. Arthur
4:13the future king pulled into a rescue of
4:14his mother/ half and halfsister in the
4:17otherworld is strong and immediately
4:19marketable. The manuscript sells its
4:21weird arththeran hook well early uh like
4:24caliburn's inscription. And now if I
4:27click on this we'll actually come to
4:29Caliburn's inscription right here. Who
4:31so pullth out this sword from the stone
4:32is duly born king of Britain. Um, also
4:36here it takes you to another area uh
4:39where it clearly talks about the
4:41inscription. Uh, and then the green
4:44witch fire, you know. So anyway, it's
4:46just talking about the premise and
4:47everything good there, which means if we
4:49find an area where it's asking uh where
4:52adds something that you need to improve.
4:55So for instance, here it says what
4:57Caliburn specifically does. Uh, so it's
4:59asking what it does specifically. It
5:01says there's a holy light, why it repels
5:03certain things. Uh, so this apparently
5:05is not as well explained in the
5:07manuscript. And if I wanted to go to
5:09instances of that, I could just click
5:11this little sign and suddenly we get
5:13pulled down to this paragraph in my
5:15book. A distant bone chilling howl
5:16echoed through the night. It came from
5:18the direction of the bay and sent
5:19goosebumps crawling down Arthur's arms.
5:21He slipped his helmet on and pulled a
5:22sword free, revealing the blade in front
5:24of Talasin for the first time. The mist
5:26seemed to falter momentarily, the green
5:28light swirling around the pale glow of
5:29Caliber as if the blade itself emitted a
5:31holy energy that dispelled some of the
5:32other worldly power driven forward by
5:35the mist. Right? So yeah, it's certainly
5:38a little bit vague about why it's doing
5:39that. Now, uh I can now just make a
5:43decision as an author to be like, okay,
5:46this is clearly meant to be sort of a a
5:50uh awe inspiring moment. There isn't
5:52actually a mechanic in the magic system
5:55that's calling it to push away the green
5:57light. It's just more of like a an
5:59emphasis on how holy this sword is and
6:02how important it is and that it's sort
6:04of infused with some kind of bright
6:06magic. It doesn't really matter
6:09uh the mechanics of what it's doing in
6:11this situation. So, I can just go ahead
6:13and ignore this. Um but as you go
6:15through, you could just, you know, pick
6:17up on these different things and be
6:18like, "Okay, actually, yeah, that's good
6:20advice." Um, and uh, anyway, this makes
6:23it so much easier to actually find the
6:25instances where improvements could be
6:28made and uh, makes this whole alpha and
6:31beta reader feature infinitely more
6:34useful in my opinion. Now, before we get
6:36into the next new feature, which
6:39actually might be my my actual favorite,
6:42uh, I want to mention that this I do
6:44have a lifetime link down below, and
6:47that is the price that you will see
6:49around Black Friday. It's not going down
6:51any lower. In fact, I was told uh just
6:54recently that the price for the lifetime
6:57is actually going to go up after Cyber
7:00Monday. So, Cyber Monday is on December
7:031st, meaning December 2nd, the price
7:05will go up to $500 as opposed to the
7:08$400 that it is at right now. And my
7:11link and the link of a couple of other
7:13influencers is the only way to get a
7:14lifetime price for Autocrit, which is
7:16why I highly recommend you act on that.
7:18Now, again, this is not sponsored by
7:20them. I just really like their platform.
7:22But I do think getting the lifetime
7:23account is the best way to go because
7:26features like this cost them money every
7:28time you run it because it's using AI.
7:32And so the fact that they can even
7:34consider to give you um a lifetime
7:38account is kind of mind-boggling to me.
7:40And I've told them several times I don't
7:42know how they're able to afford doing
7:44that um at least in the long term. So
7:47definitely if you don't want to pay $100
7:49extra, get this platform before Cyber
7:52Monday uh is over. And once again,
7:55there's a link down below. All right, so
7:57let's go to the next feature that I'm
8:00really excited about. And this is this
8:01is the feedback that I gave them that
8:04they immediately implemented and came
8:06back to me a couple weeks later saying
8:08it's done. Um, if we go to the story
8:10builder and just go to this dashboard
8:13and hit new story builder idea, new
8:16fiction story idea. You could do this
8:18with non-fiction, too, but um, we'll
8:21just stick with fiction for now. And I'm
8:23just going to whip up something really
8:25quickly. Um, we're not going to actually
8:27put in an actual story premise that I
8:30want to see. Uh, let's go ahead and
8:32generate ideas. So, it's just going to
8:34generate a random story idea and fill
8:36everything out. Right. So now this uh
8:38story idea has been generated. It's a
8:40kind of a looks like a hard sci-fi type
8:43of thing. It's filled out all of these
8:44forms including some of the outline
8:48beats. Uh so this is important here
8:50because uh this allows us to you know
8:53put in what happens in the book
8:56obviously. So uh this is great. But what
8:59I'm really excited about is now that
9:01we've got this and uh and you can put
9:04your own story in here as you want. We
9:06just generated one just for the sake of
9:08this video. Up here at the top, we have
9:10an alpha read and a market fuel. So,
9:13similar to the alpha read and the market
9:15fuel that we saw on the book level, you
9:18can now do at the story and outline
9:21level. And that's great cuz if we go
9:23here to the alpha read and we're going
9:24to select a reader. And since this is a
9:26science fiction, let's see if we have a
9:29sci-fi reader. All right. So, here it
9:31is. Science fiction reader. Go ahead and
9:33create this reader. And
9:37now this reader has been created
9:39successfully. And just say start
9:40reading. I can also go while that while
9:43that's going I can also get the market
9:45fuel one going. All right. And now it is
9:47giving us the analysis of that
9:49particular story idea. And it's funny
9:51because it's it's not rating it super
9:53high probably because it was generated
9:55with AI without any human input. Um but
9:59uh yeah, so it goes through and it
10:01actually gives you detailed feedback on
10:05all of the different things at the
10:07outline level. So you have instead of
10:11you know feedback for each chapter, you
10:13have feedback for each of these story
10:14beats. And uh and it does a pretty good
10:17job. And the reason I like this, the
10:19reason this was the feedback that I gave
10:20AutoCred is because I actually recommend
10:24authors, especially if you're just
10:25starting out and you don't have a huge
10:26budget, that you probably shouldn't hire
10:28a developmental editor after you finish
10:31the book because chances are, especially
10:32if you're just starting out, the book
10:34won't actually be that great yet, and
10:37you'll have to make massive edits in
10:40order to fix it. But if you hire
10:42developmental at the outlining stage, um
10:45assuming you are an outliner, then they
10:48can actually help you fix a lot of those
10:50things early on before you even write
10:52the book and therefore you can uh you
10:57can go in with at least some certainty
10:59that the overall structure of your book
11:01is good and then you can focus more on
11:03line edits and proof reading and stuff
11:04like that when you're done. So that's
11:06why I thought it would be really handy
11:07to have an alpha reader that will
11:10actually do this for your story idea and
11:14not just the finished book because
11:16sometimes making those edits after you
11:18finish the book can be pretty
11:19substantial and u personally I don't
11:21like having to do all those. So I like
11:23to fix things before we even get to that
11:25stage. Additionally, here the market
11:27fuel section, you can actually get quite
11:31a few additional marketing assets before
11:33you even start with. And this can be
11:34useful as well. A lot of authors I know
11:37will recommend starting with the book
11:38description, having it written before
11:40you actually write the book. Um, because
11:43it helps you to kind of clarify what the
11:45hook is of your book and uh what the
11:47genre is and all of that. And so all of
11:50that is listed here. plenty of useful
11:53information here um that could be useful
11:56as you're writing the book. So you can
11:58go through these to your heart's content
11:59and just uh you know have fun with it.
12:01All right, so now let's go to the last
12:04feature to come to this. I'm also pretty
12:07excited about this although I don't have
12:09use cases for it in this exact moment.
12:12But what you can do is you can actually
12:14create a series and run an analysis at
12:16the series level as well. So, I've just
12:19created a couple of dummy books here, a
12:21book one and a book two. And if you go
12:23up here to select uh and this is in a
12:26folder, by the way, you'll need this in
12:28a folder. And if you go to add up here
12:30inside of the folder level, you just hit
12:33add and then this button, this green one
12:35that says series analysis.
12:38Click on that and suddenly you'll get
12:40this thing uh under the project that
12:42you've selected and you have your two
12:44books here. You can then select your who
12:47your reader is. So, let's go ahead and
12:49select that Harsh critic again. You also
12:51have access to analyzer plus and the
12:54beta reader and the market fuel here at
12:55the series level as well. Now, you'll
12:57notice that there's a little warning
12:59sign here for the books and that's
13:00because there's no story in there and
13:02you have to run your story analysis on
13:05each of those books individually first
13:09before you can actually do the series
13:10analysis. But it's really cool to see
13:12that if you've got multiple books in a
13:14series and you want to kind of see how
13:16they all fit together and whether each
13:18one is a good fit for the genre that
13:20this is a good way to go. And that's it
13:22for the new updates to Autocrit. I was
13:24super happy with all of these and super
13:26happy to see how quickly they were able
13:28to turn around some of those ideas,
13:30especially when I had just given them a
13:32little bit of feedback. I was pleasantly
13:33surprised that they came back to me with
13:35that. Once again, if you want to get
13:37this, you can get it at the lifetime
13:39price of $400 at my link down below, but
13:42it will be going up to $500 after Cyber
13:45Monday. So, go check that out. And also,
13:47if you want to know more about how to
13:48write a bunch of books with AI in an
13:51ethical way that doesn't interfere with
13:52your creativity, but allows you to write
13:55upwards of a book a month or more. Check
13:58out my uh Storyhacker Gold membership
14:00links down below and I will see you in
14:03the next
