What Is the Vision Brief?

The vision brief is the starting point of every Authorio project. It is a short description of your book idea that the AI uses to generate your book's structure, chapters, and content. Think of it as a creative brief you would hand to a ghostwriter -- the more clearly you communicate your intent, the better the output.

You do not need to write pages of instructions. A few well-chosen sentences about your topic, audience, and goals are enough for Authorio to build a complete book outline.

What to Include

A strong vision brief covers four key areas:

Topic

State your subject clearly. Rather than "a book about marketing," try "a practical guide to email marketing for e-commerce brands doing $1M-$10M in annual revenue." Specificity gives the AI a focused direction.

Target Audience

Tell Authorio who will read this book. Are they beginners or experienced practitioners? What problems are they trying to solve? The AI adjusts language complexity, examples, and depth based on your audience.

Key Angles

Mention the perspectives, frameworks, or unique takes you want the book to cover. If you have a proprietary methodology or a contrarian viewpoint, include it here. This is what makes your book distinctly yours.

Tone

Describe how the book should feel. Professional and data-driven? Conversational and story-rich? Authoritative but approachable? Tone guidance shapes the voice the AI uses throughout every chapter.

Tips for Better Briefs

• Be specific over broad. "LinkedIn content strategy for B2B SaaS founders" outperforms "social media marketing."
• Name your outcome. State what the reader should be able to do after reading -- this anchors the entire structure.
• Mention what to exclude. If there are topics you explicitly do not want covered, say so upfront.
• Keep it concise. Three to five sentences is the sweet spot. You do not need to write an essay.

Suggestion Chips

If you are not sure where to start, Authorio offers suggestion chips below the vision brief input. These are pre-built prompts covering common book types like lead magnets, authority books, client guides, and how-to manuals. Tap any chip to pre-fill a starting brief that you can then customize to fit your needs.
