BOLO AI Publishing Pipeline
Structured AI publishing software for nonfiction books and knowledge content.
BOLO enables authors, educators and organizations to create books, guides, manuals and knowledge material in a controlled workflow — from outline and generation to editing, translation and publishable export.
From long-tail nonfiction publishing — steady income from many specialized niche titles — to educational material, company documentation, travel guides and specialized knowledge books, BOLO turns ideas into structured, publishable books.
Try BOLO first
Start with the trial version and test the workflow with a small project before choosing a license.
Tip: The best way to learn BOLO is to run small test generations. Creating one to three chapters usually costs only a few cents and quickly shows how the workflow behaves.
Note: Because BOLO is a new application, your browser or Windows may show a security warning during download. This is normal for newly released software.
Before you begin
BOLO uses the OpenAI API to generate text. To use the program, you need your own OpenAI API key.
How to get an OpenAI API key
-
Go directly to OpenAI's API keys page:
https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
- Sign in to your OpenAI account.
- Click Create new secret key.
- Copy the key and store it safely. You will not be able to view it again later.
- Add billing in OpenAI and fund the account as needed.
- Paste your API key into BOLO and start generating.
A rough rule of thumb is that one page of generated text costs about $0.01 in API usage, assuming roughly 300 words per page.
Buy a license
Customers can test first, then choose the license period that fits their work. BOLO keeps the license cost low, while AI generation is paid separately through your own OpenAI API key only when you actually produce content.
Low monthly cost, pay for generation only when needed. Unlike many AI writing services with high monthly subscriptions, BOLO uses your own OpenAI API key. Typical generation costs are often about $1–3 for a nonfiction book and about $6–10 for a fiction book, depending on length, workflow and model usage.

What BOLO is for
BOLO is designed to make AI-assisted book production simpler, more structured and more predictable.
It is especially well suited to nonfiction books, guidebooks, educational material, geographic books, historical projects and other long-form factual writing.
BOLO is optimized for structured nonfiction workflows. Fiction support exists in beta, but the product is not positioned as a chat-style writing tool.
