INTRODUCING “HYPNOVELS,” A REVOLUTIONARY USE OF GENERATIVE AI TO TRANSFORM BOOKS INTO MESMERIZING ANIMATIONS

By DaMarko Webster

Silverside AI has introduced Hypnovels, a groundbreaking Generative AI platform poised to revolutionize the reading experience, book promotion, and enjoyment. Currently in beta at hypnovels.com (password: reading2024), this platform heralds a potent new AI marketing tool empowering authors to craft captivating animated experiences from their book’s content with remarkable ease, taking only a few hours to render.

In just four straightforward steps, any author can generate an animated and immersive multimedia experience, a task that would typically demand months of time and significant creative resources. Authors simply input text from a chapter, provide a brief description of the book’s setting, select a visual style and narrator voice, and within hours, they can create an engaging animation that stays true to their unique vision — a Hypnovel primed for effortless sharing with both existing and untapped readers who might not otherwise discover their work.

“We are leveraging the incredible power of AI to assist authors worldwide in better promoting their books and connecting with more readers,” remarks Rob Wrubel, co-founder of Silverside AI and the Founding CEO of Ask Jeeves.

For readers, Hypnovels signifies a fresh approach to experiencing literature, aimed at making reading captivating even for the most discerning audiences. “While numerous AI applications attempt to transform words into movies,” notes PJ Pereira, renowned advertising veteran and founder of Silverside AI, “Hypnovels stand apart by defining a new language specifically crafted to entice people towards books.”

The concept for Hypnovels took shape when Pereira utilized AI to promote his sci-fi novel, The Girl From Wudang. Recognizing the potential of this format for other books, he envisioned a tool that was simple and versatile enough to tell various types of stories. “As both an author and creative, I understand the potency of striking visuals in drawing people into a narrative,” Pereira shares. “Through AI, we aim to bring the same level of production value, typically exclusive to major advertisers, into the hands of authors everywhere.”

The Hypnovels platform represents a distinctive fusion of AI and creativity, incorporating several AI techniques into one cohesive entity: GPT4 for interpretation, Stable Diffusion for animation, Eleven Studios for voice, and multiple individually crafted artistic styles.

However, the true value of Hypnovels lies in how these technologies are tailored to enhance the reader’s experience. “As an author, I want my readers to conjure their own mental images,” explains Pereira. “The Hypnovels animations we generate serve as companions that heighten the overall experience.”

Recognizing that exceptional visuals only fulfill their purpose when seen, Silverside has partnered with BookTrib, a premier online literary platform and marketing engine for authors and publishers. With three decades of experience in book publishing and promotion, Meryl Moss, creator of BookTrib and President and Founder of Meryl Moss Media Group, perceives Hypnovels as a game-changer in sharing and promoting literary works. “Through the magic of AI, authors and publishers now have an entirely novel way to captivate and engage readers,” Moss remarks. “Readers will immerse themselves in new literary adventures through this innovative fusion of words and visuals, while classics will enjoy a rejuvenated appeal that will enchant existing fans and entice new ones with fresh interpretations.”
