Automateed: Make Books and Goodies by Speaking (Yes, Really)
Automateed is a tool that turns your voice into finished books — ebooks, storybooks, coloring books, journals, and more — complete with images and written content. It’s aimed at people who want to create polished print- or screen-ready products without spending weeks writing, designing, or hiring a small army. Small businesses, freelancers, and makers who need quick, branded content will get the most from it.
If you hate blank pages or don’t have time to fuss with layout, Automateed sounds your ideas and builds the book for you. That makes it a neat fit for local shops, coaches, event planners, childcare providers, and marketers who want DIY content without the design headache.
Use case 1: Create marketing ebooks for lead generation
Turn one expert talk into a lead magnet. Record a short audio overview of a topic—“5 ways to protect your small shop from theft” or “Simple bookkeeping tips for new freelancers”—and let Automateed turn it into an ebook. The tool will generate chapters, images, and a layout you can offer as a download in exchange for an email address.
- Tip: Keep the audio structured—intro, 3–5 points, short wrap-up—to make clean chapters.
- Tip: Add a brief voice note about your brand voice and preferred images so the tone matches your business.
Use case 2: Develop unique content for social media engagement
Want lots of shareable posts but don’t have time to write them? Have Automateed break your spoken ideas into bite-sized pieces: image captions, short excerpts, and quote cards. Coloring book pages or short story snippets can also give you content that’s fun and different from the usual stock-photo posts.
- Tip: Ask the tool to create 10 quote images from one recording for a quick content batch.
- Tip: Use carousel posts of a short story or a “how-to” split across multiple slides to boost engagement.
Use case 3: Produce custom journals for client gifts
Journals make great branded giveaways. Speak prompts and ideas for a custom journal—gratitude prompts for a yoga studio, appointment trackers for a dentist, or project planners for creative clients—and Automateed will build a printable journal with prompts, page layouts, and images.
- Tip: Keep branding simple—your logo, a color palette, and a short intro page—and let the rest be useful content.
- Tip: Order a small print run locally after creating a PDF to hand out at events or include with purchases.
Use case 4: Generate educational materials for workshops
If you run classes or workshops, you can produce handouts, workbooks, and short guides in minutes. Speak your lesson plan and examples, and get a tidy workbook with exercises and images you can print or email to attendees.
- Tip: Use a consistent template for every workshop so attendees know where to find exercises, summaries, and resources.
- Tip: Record a demo session once and reuse it to create follow-up materials and FAQs.
Use case 5: Create personalized storybooks for children’s events
For bookstores, daycare centers, or event planners, a personalized storybook is a winner. Record a short tale with a child’s name and details, and Automateed can craft a storybook with images and a layout you can print or sell as a keepsake.
- Tip: Make a checklist of personalization details (name, favorite animal, hometown) before recording to avoid redoing the audio.
- Tip: Offer a “create-a-book” add-on at birthday parties or family events to boost revenue and delight customers.

Quick conclusion
Automateed looks like a neat shortcut for small businesses that need content fast and want to offer something a bit different. It won’t replace a pro writer or designer for complex branding projects, but for lead magnets, event books, client gifts, and workshop materials it can save time and spark ideas. If you like the idea of speaking your way to finished products, it’s worth a test drive.
