BookGPT is a Python application designed to automatically generate complete books on specified topics using the ChatGPT API. It targets users who need to quickly produce non-fiction content, such as writers, researchers, or content creators, by automating the book-writing process from chapter structure to full content generation.

How It Works

The program leverages the ChatGPT API to generate book content based on user-defined parameters including chapter count, chapter length, topic, and book category. It first prompts the user for these inputs, then generates a title, chapter titles, and the body content for each chapter, saving the output as a Markdown file. This approach automates a time-consuming creative process by offloading content generation to a powerful language model.
