Next Wednesday (October 15) marks the official start of the Frankfurt Book Fair – and the Vienna-based start-upStoryOne has just unveiled an innovation at the Vodafone Future Day that could fundamentally change how we write and publish non-fiction books.
StoryOne enables fact-checked books up to 300× faster – journalists can test the tool for free.
Writing and publishing a book has long been seen as a lifetime achievement – slow, complex, and often inaccessible. With the launch ofStoryOne 2.0, the company introduces a completely new way to publish non-fiction:Human-Centric Book Publishing.
Using theStory Editor, anyone can transform their ideas, podcasts, interviews, articles, research, or manuscripts into a high-quality, fact-based non-fiction book – in just about an hour.That's up to 300 times fasterthan traditional publishing.
At the Vodafone Future Day 2025Michael Reinartz, Chief Innovation Officer atVodafone Germany, said: “Writing a book usually takes months or even years. With StoryOne's new AI-powered functions, this process is being reinvented. Now, professional-quality books can be created within hours – while authors keep full control of their content.”
Books that would never have existed before
— A scientist turns research papers into an accessible book – the very same day.
— Doctors publish fact-checked guides on rare diseases while the information is still current.
— Biographies can be created directly from audio recordings – even the memories of a 100-year-old.
— New voices around the world become visible: personal, authentic, and moving stories that might never have been published otherwise.
Human-Centric Publishing – the alternative to the flood of AI-generated books
StoryOne clearly differentiates itself from today's flood of low-quality “prompt books”:
— Thehumanremains the author, creator, and curator.
— AI acts as afact-based co-editor, trained on bestseller-qualitylogics- structuring, enhancing, and delivering instant book outlines and chapters.
— Content can bevalidated and deepenedthrough optional research.
— Developed in collaboration withleading AI scientists(Neuro-Symbolic AI) and publishing professionals.
— Tested by bestselling authors.
— Thalia(Germany's leading book retailer and one of Europe's largest bookselling groups) is a shareholder;Libri/BODis a strategic partner ensuring European-wide distribution and print-on-demand logistics.
Research confirms global relevance
A recentHarvard / OpenAI study (September 2025)shows that 40% of all work-related ChatGPT use cases involve writing – in management and business contexts, it's more than half.Most importantly: two-thirds of these activities involverevising, structuring, or improvingexisting text, not generating new drafts.This is exactly where StoryOne'sHuman-Centric AIapproach excels.
