ProfToon partnership for publishers

Video courses based on your books with no filming or editing

AI turns a book or workbook into a video course with an animated teacher, quizzes and assignments. The course runs in the publisher's school on ProfToon under your brand or in your LMS. We are looking for 2 publishers to develop the platform with us on real books.

  • A school under the publisher's brand
  • Your editors edit every lesson and decide when to publish
  • Pilot generation at the price of the largest package
  • Courses and rights stay yours

What ProfToon gives a publisher

New products from books already in your catalog, and direct contact with readers.

From catalog to courses

  • A book becomes a course. Upload a book in PDF, DOCX or EPUB: AI splits it into lessons and prepares scripts, quizzes and assignments.
  • No studio, no editing. AI creates the scenes, illustrations, voiceover and teacher animation.
  • Your editors have the final say. Any text, scene or voiceover can be changed, and the course goes live only after you publish it.

Under your brand

  • Your own school on the platform. A separate address, your logo and style, your own pricing and your own students.
  • Anywhere. Learning on the platform or export to an LMS (SCORM, xAPI) and to a website (HTML).
  • In the reader's language. Teacher voiceover in 75+ languages.

A course created by AI with no human involvement

We only set the title and target audience and did not edit a single word. In the pilot your editors build a course from your own book and edit it in the editor.

Open the course

One book, several products

A course based on a book can be offered to readers, professionals and organizations. The backlist gets a new life, and the publisher gets to know its readers.

  1. 1

    Companion course

    A QR code in the book leads to a mini-course on your platform: practice, quizzes and assignments for the chapters.

    The book is worth more to the buyer, and the reader signs up with you.

  2. 2

    Paid course based on a book

    A full course based on a workbook or series for readers, teachers and professionals, at your prices.

    New revenue from material you have already published.

  3. 3

    Courses for organizations

    Schools, training centers and companies get the course in their LMS via SCORM or xAPI.

    Sales to organizations, not only retail.

For example: an exam prep book. A reader gets a mini-course with practice tests along with the book, a teacher buys the full course for the class, and a school adds it to its LMS.

We develop the platform together

The first partners shape which tools appear in ProfToon. You write directly to the founder and the developers, with no tickets or support queue.

  1. 1

    You bring a task

    From work on a book: where your editors spend time on manual work or what they are missing.

  2. 2

    We discuss it in chat

    We clarify the task and propose how to solve it on the platform.

  3. 3

    Shared priorities

    We choose what to do first and let you know when your task goes into development.

  4. 4

    You test first

    When a feature reaches testing, you try it on your book and give feedback.

For example: a new type of reader assignment (a simulator or a case study) or a new artistic technique in a video lesson.

A custom style for every series

A publisher style and a separate style for a series or an author: characters, scenes and certificates, with the logo in the backgrounds. A character can be created from the author's photo.

Pilot for publishers

A pilot on one book: we build the first three chapters together, and your editors do the rest on their own. We are looking for 2 publishers: our team is small, so every pilot gets our full attention.

  1. 1

    Start

    We open the publisher's school on the platform and create your style. You choose a book for the pilot.

  2. 2

    First three chapters together

    We build the lessons for the first three chapters together with your editor: from uploading the text to finished scenes and assignments.

  3. 3

    The rest of the book

    Your editor builds the remaining chapters on their own, and we stay in touch.

  4. 4

    Results

    You assess the quality, the amount of editing and the credits used, and decide which books in your catalog to do next. We agree on partner terms.

What you pay for in the pilot

The publisher's school on the platform, your style and help with the first three chapters are included. You pay for generation with ProfToon credits at the per-credit price of the largest package, even for a small volume. There is no mandatory monthly payment. We agree on the period and volume of the discounted purchase before the start.

What generation costs in the pilot

Example at the pilot price: a 250-page book, about 34 lessons and 5 hours of video. About 100 USD without illustrations in quizzes, or about 130 USD with them.

Credits pay for generating scripts, quizzes, assignments, illustrations, voiceover and animation. The estimate covers one build of the course; regenerations after editorial changes are paid separately. The publisher's school and course export to SCORM, xAPI or HTML are part of platform access and use no credits.

After the pilot, regular credit packages apply: the bigger the package, the lower the price per credit.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the pilot cost?

The publisher's school, your style and help with the first three chapters are free. You pay for generation with ProfToon credits at the price of the largest package; we agree on the volume in our chat. We need your editors' time and real books.

Which books work best?

Non-fiction with practice: workbooks and exam prep, teaching methods, business, psychology and self-development. Books where readers need not only to read but to learn.

Who owns the courses?

The rights to the book and the course based on it remain with the publisher and the author, as you agree between yourselves.

Do we need digital rights to the book?

Yes. Check whether your contract with the author allows using the text, illustrations and translation in a course and distributing that course. Translated books need the rights holder's consent.

Can we review every lesson before release?

Yes. Your editors change any text, scene or voiceover in the editor, and readers see the course only after you publish it.

How does a course reach readers?

Through the publisher's school on the platform. The platform creates a course landing page with a description and syllabus: you put its link in the book as a QR code, on your website and in newsletters. The course can be free or at your prices. Organizations can get the course in SCORM and xAPI for an LMS or in HTML for a website.

Who takes payments, and whose readers are they?

The publisher takes payments for courses into its own payment account. Registered readers and all their data are available to you.

What happens after the pilot?

The publisher's school stays yours. You pay for generation with credit packages: the bigger the package, the lower the price per credit.

Can you add a feature we need?

Let's discuss it. Together with partners we choose what to develop in the shared platform. Priority goes to tools that will help many publishers. Development for a specific project is discussed separately.

Why only 2 publishers?

The first publishers will become partners, not just pilot participants: their tasks decide what we develop next. Our team is small, and we want every publisher to really start working on the platform. If the spots are taken, we will put you on the list for the next round.
