Watch a voice note become a chapter.

Your voice, your copyright. We never train on your book.

Before — a rambling voice note

“uh, so, okay, I grew up, um, in the city and — and my brothers, we, uh, we had this thing where every winter, you know, the big snow, the blizzard of seventy-seven, we built this, this huge igloo in the, in the yard and, um, mom would call us in but we didn’t wanna go in, we just stayed out there...”

After — a finished chapter

I grew up in the city with my two brothers. Every winter we waited for the big snow, and the blizzard of ’77 gave us the biggest one of all. We built a huge igloo in the yard — and stayed out long after Mom called us in.

A friendship built to last

From the 1980s to Ask Brio.

Lojik and Brio met in high school. Lojik mastered computer building and technology, then taught Brio about computers and technology.

Learning the machine

Brio tried idea after idea while Lojik became the technical master behind the scenes.

Gamers for Life

Lojik founded G4L with Soldier of Fortune and still runs game servers today, including Call of Duty.

SWEEPA becomes Brio

Brio learned Amazon’s book-building system. The original name, SWEEPA, changed to Brio as the app came to life.

Still a team

Their favorite game is golf. Brio and Lojik still play together every night.

A bright green tree representing the story growing

The next chapter

Now they help other people turn a spoken story into a real book.

You talk. Brio writes.

Here’s how it works.

Talk the way you speak — Brio cleans it up. One section at a time beats trying to do it all in one sitting. Short sessions, steady progress.

Pick your format

Ebook, Softcover, or Hardcover — then Fiction or Nonfiction and a category. This tells Brio what kind of book you’re making.

Name it

Give your book a title. Don’t overthink it — you can change it later.

Build your sections

Brio walks you through one at a time, so it never feels big.

Speak or type

Tap Start Talking and just talk — like you’re telling a friend. Or type, if you prefer.

Review each part

Read what Brio wrote and tweak anything you want. Tiane cheers you on after every section.

Finish

When your book is done, pay once and it goes straight to Brio — ready to build.

Love your book or your money back.

Two simple ways

Build your books with credits.

Subscribe for monthly credits, or grab a one-time pack — your choice.

Want it published and shipped too? Extra 150 credits (separate upgrade — not included).

Ebook, softcover, or hardcover — your choice, every time. AI cover design included.

Auto-renews on your card. Cancel anytime and keep your remaining credits.

If you don't love it, your purchase will be refunded.

One Book Pack

$9.99 one-time

100 credits — one finished book.

Book files — print it yourself or keep the ebook.

If you don't love it, your purchase will be refunded.
