Auteur Launch
Your finished project becomes everything the world sees, without being rebuilt for marketing. Launch takes the story, canon, and assets already in your project and ships them as a real website, a published edition, a campaign, and the release materials, all from one source of truth. No separate brief, no retelling your own story to a copywriter.
You are looking at the proof right now. This entire site (every page, its imagery pipeline, and the receipt behind every claim) was built by governed Auteur Build campaigns and shipped through Auteur Launch. It is not a demo-site generator. It is how a studio ships real web presences, and the first one it shipped was its own.
Who it's for
Creators and teams taking a finished work to market who don't want to reinvent the story for a website, an edition, and a campaign that should all agree with each other.
“Package the finished book for Kindle, Apple Books, and PDF, stage the cover comps and thumbnails, draft the launch socials, and hold everything at my approval gate before a single thing goes public.”
App Builder: your workflow, as an app (private beta)
App Builder is the part of Launch that turns an AI workflow into a hosted web app other people can use. It is in private beta: built and tested, switched off by default, and not yet open to customers.
- Start from a working template. A story app that remembers earlier chapters, a conversation with long-term memory, product-promotion images, photo analysis, or reference and structured portraits. One app can combine two to eight of these actions.
- One pipeline, many capabilities. Steps chain story structuring and writing, long-term memory recall, text and image generation, and a quality check, each step reading the app's input or an earlier step's result, all on your own AI provider accounts.
- Hosted, budgeted, yours. Freeze a versioned release, approve a spending budget, and publish it at an Auteur web address, or attach your own domain once you have verified DNS. Unpublish whenever you like.
- Real users, not a demo. People you invite get their own sign-in, a private history, and their past results to reopen. An app can also be started by a signed webhook from your own systems.
What it does not do yet, stated plainly: App Builder publishes web apps from these templates. It does not build native mobile apps, it has no free-form workflow canvas, scheduled runs, or third-party connectors, and your app's users cannot pay through it.
“Turn my story-with-memory workflow into an app for my readers: freeze this release, cap it at the budget I approve, put it on my domain, and invite the first twenty readers.”
Websites without a landlord
Complex sites are the point, not the exception. Launch Forge builds full web presences: multi-page architecture, imagery pipelines, forms, SEO, and structured data, and then deploys them to the vendor you choose. Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Vercel, or wherever you already live: you pick the host, you always own your URL, and you can modify everything yourself whenever you like. Your agents, tethered to Launch Forge, handle the details on your behalf, which puts even a site as layered as this one within easy reach. No walled garden, no landlord between you and your own address.
“Stand up the book site on my own domain at the registrar I already use, match the trailer’s brand, and stage the launch post to go live with the video, after I approve it.”
Site Studio: the web team in a box
Everyone needs a landing page. Almost nobody needs only a landing page. Claude, Codex, and their peers can already scaffold a site; Site Studio amplifies them into something a business can stand on:
- Deep planning first. Business story, positioning, funnel plan, offer catalog, and sitemap come out of your project before a single page is drafted. The site inherits a strategy, not a template.
- Video and visuals, native. The trailer, the covers, the imagery pipeline, and the site draw from the same project canon, so the web presence matches the work it sells.
- Fact-checked by the project. Every claim on a Site Studio page traces to a claims ledger backed by your research library. Marketing that survives an audit, because it got one.
- SEO for people. Classic search discipline: structure, speed, internal linking, and metadata drafted from the project itself.
- Search by AI, answered. The new discipline almost nobody ships yet: llms.txt, a curated fact-QA catalog, and an agent-readiness pass designed so you stay relevant whether a human finds you through Google or an AI harness like Codex answers on your behalf.
- AI Visibility, watched. A live monitoring surface asks the AI engines what they actually say about your brand: mention rate, citations, prompt sets run against your competitors, and recommended actions, tracked over time. You do not guess how the machines describe you; you measure it.
- YouTube & social insights. Coming to Auteur. Your own channel's numbers in one place: views, watch time and subscribers, with a plain account of what YouTube's API does and does not report. Import your YouTube Studio exports, see how your posts performed across your connected social accounts, follow a small set of channels you choose for outliers and breakouts, export the report, and turn an opportunity into a production work item. It arrives with bring-your-own Google key support.
- Book Detective. Local tier, coming. Finds where readers want more books, and shows the evidence. It reads public Amazon listings and search suggestions to map demand against competition, shows the page-one books behind every score, lets you change how the score is weighed, and watches the niches you choose for rising demand, new entrants and opening gaps. It runs on your own machine through Auteur Bridge rather than in the hosted workspace. Social and YouTube signals are coming next.
- Brand memory. Covers, thumbnails, and social frames are generated against the branding your project already approved, and memory keeps them on-brand release after release.
The Book Bindery
When the writing is done, the Book Bindery turns your manuscript into a finished, publishable book. It formats the interior to spec, typesets the pages, sets the front and back matter, builds the table of contents, and exports files ready to upload: a Kindle-ready ebook for Amazon KDP, EPUB for Apple Books and the other stores, and a print-ready PDF for paperback. Your cover and canon come from the same project, so the edition matches the book you actually wrote, and every version is kept, so a fix is a new edition, not a lost file. Write it in Story, bind it here, and hand a store-ready file to the platform of your choice.
“Bind the finished manuscript for Amazon KDP: format the interior to Kindle spec, set the front matter and table of contents, drop in my approved cover, and export the ebook and a print-ready PDF for review.”
The release desk
Finishing the work is half the job; the release desk does the other half, and it stands alone for creators who need nothing else in the pipeline. Write the book, then finish it in the Book Bindery (layout finalized, interiors typeset, exported for Kindle, Apple Books, and print-ready PDF), then release it and stay released: track it across your socials, optimize the website it lives on, and produce promotional video with connected tools (HeyGen and LemonSlice among them), alongside thumbnail creation, blog-post monitoring, and event and release calendaring, all with eval and memory keeping score of what actually worked.
What it solves
Marketing usually starts from a blank page and slowly drifts from the work. Launch builds release materials from the same approved project facts used to create the work, so the site, the edition, and the campaign stay true to it.
“Package the ebook for Kindle and Apple, render six thumbnail comps in my cover style, and schedule the announcement across my socials for Tuesday morning, pending my approval.”
How it works
Launch Forge assembles the business story, offer catalog, sitemap, forms, SEO opportunities, and site assets from your project. Publishing and editions turn a manuscript into a versioned edition with covers and posters and KDP or EPUB handoffs. Websites, SEO, social, and store materials are drafted from the same project.
Workspaces included
- Launch Forge: a launch campaign built from your project's evidence and product truth.
- Publishing & Editions: editions, covers, posters, and publishing handoffs that keep project identity.
- Site Studio: websites, SEO seeds, social drafts, outreach, and storefront materials.
Embedded from other products
Launch does not fold another paid product inside it. It is the release add-on that takes outputs from Story, Prep, Film, Game Forge, Learning, and Build to market.
Moving up
Launch travels with the whole creative shelf inside Studio, and draws its material from the products you have already been working in.
Where it runs
Launch Forge operates on the project you have already built, drawing its material from your approved project facts rather than a separate marketing brief. In the hosted workspace, opening to founding members first, Launch campaigns and planning run in your browser; posting to your social accounts and search console from it is coming.
Demonstrated
By 2026-08-28, Launch Forge and its publishing, SEO, social, and store components had run with a live client and a live test site behind the work rather than a mockup.
Current limitations
Publishing always stays approval-gated, materials are drafted and staged, never released without your sign-off.
