MakeTrailer

An AI design canvas that pulls directly from your manuscript to generate your visual marketing.

maketrailer.io →

Authors spend months writing incredible stories, but marketing them requires constant, high-quality visual content. Generic AI image generators usually fail at this because they lack narrative context and visual consistency. MakeTrailer bridges the gap as an "AI Art Director" that reads the book and outputs controlled, editable design assets.

The unified design canvas gives access to top image models without typing raw prompts.

At the core of the app is a bespoke "agentic" architecture—powered by Next.js, Supabase, LLMs for narrative extraction, and fal.ai for image generation. Instead of disjointed tools, everything is orchestrated through automated "Quickstarts" that pull context directly from the manuscript.

The Workflow

  1. 01
    The Foundation
    Feed the platform a synopsis or chapter. The AI extracts character attributes, you lock in an art style, and it generates a consistent 'Meet the Cast' visual anchor.
  2. 02
    Reader Invitations
    Turn text into social media carousels. The AI analyzes your text for the core hook and generates a specific visual brief with promotional copy.
  3. 03
    Passage Adaptation
    Paste in a chapter, and the system acts like a director—writing a reading script, planning shots, and dropping panels onto a semantic canvas.
  4. 04
    Semantic Layout Canvas
    Agents place speech bubbles, thoughts, and text onto safe zones so typography never covers a character's face.
