A manuscript that compiles to a real EPUB3, written against a world that checks itself.
Requires Aardvark Studio Core (free)
Products
Four products, four finished things
Each one sits on the free Core and each one is bought on its own. There is no edition, no bundle you have to start with, and no product that only makes sense with another.

The whole book as something you watch — every approved frame, timed to the narration, chapter markers already in it.

Loomwright
Loomwright is where the book gets written. The manuscript sits beside the world it belongs to — the codex, the timeline, the maps, the ledger of who knows what — and the publish gate compiles your chapters into a real EPUB3 that the rest of the studio treats exactly like a book that arrived as one.
- For
- Authors writing inside a series world, and the editor, curator or co-writer who has to hold continuity with them.
- Needs from you
- The Aardvark Studio server · An Anthropic API key
VisualBook
VisualBook turns a book the studio has already read into a long-form video storybook — not a trailer, not an audiobook with a cover on it, but the work itself, seen and heard, scene by scene. It casts each character to a visual identity that holds from frame to frame, breaks scenes into beats and beats into shots, and assembles the approved frames against the narration until a chapter is something you can sit and watch.
- For
- Anyone turning a title they own into screen work — a trailer, a chapter, or the whole book — without a studio behind them, and anyone who wants to work in a long-form visual format before it has a shelf to sit on.
- Needs from you
- The Aardvark Studio server · A ComfyUI render host with a GPU · An Anthropic API key
LitCaster
LitCaster cuts a companion podcast from a book the studio has already read. Topics are proposed or grounded from a brief you wrote, the script is segmented with speakers and citations, personas speak it in voices you have cleared, and publication is a gate that validates every target before a single byte is uploaded.
- For
- An author or small press marketing a back catalogue, and the producer who has to answer for what went out under the show's name.
- Needs from you
- The Aardvark Studio server · An Anthropic API key · A text-to-speech endpoint
LookBook
LookBook turns reference material into a casting style: a trained LoRA and the four prompt blocks that wrap a subject in it. A style is built once, above every book, and every book in your organisation can be cast in it afterwards.
- For
- A creator or small studio that wants every title to look deliberate, and to be able to say what made the look.
- Needs from you
- The Aardvark Studio server · A GPU render host · A LoRA training host
