Frequently Asked Questions

What is Polymata?

Polymata is an AI-powered platform that generates custom non-fiction books on any topic, personalized to your knowledge level and learning goals. It is designed for autodidacts, polymaths, and lifelong learners who want deep, structured knowledge on any subject — from personal finance to stoicism, machine learning to ancient history.

How does Polymata generate a book?

You describe what you want to learn, your current knowledge level, and your specific goals. Polymata's AI builds a pedagogical outline adapted to you, then writes each chapter with concrete examples, analogies, and a progressive structure from basics to mastery. The finished book is delivered as an ePub file compatible with Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books, and all ePub readers.

How long does generation take?

Most books are ready in 10–20 minutes depending on the number of chapters. You can close the tab after submitting — Polymata works in the background and notifies you by email when your book is ready.

What format are the books in?

Books are generated as ePub files (.epub), the standard format for digital reading. ePub is compatible with Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books, and every major ePub reader. A PDF version with a Polymata watermark is also available for download.

Can I send my book directly to Kindle?

Yes. Enter your @kindle.com address in your profile and Polymata will send the ePub directly to your Kindle library. It typically appears within a few minutes. You can also send it manually to any Kindle email address after generation.

How much does a book cost?

Books cost between €1.00 and €1.66 depending on your credit pack. Starter: 3 books for €4.99 (€1.66/book). Standard: 10 books for €12.99 (€1.30/book). Pro: 30 books for €29.99 (€1.00/book). Credits never expire. Your first book is completely free — no credit card required.

What if my book generation fails?

Your credit is automatically refunded if generation fails for any technical reason. You are never charged for a book that does not complete successfully.

How accurate is AI-generated content?

Polymata uses state-of-the-art language models to generate content. These models are powerful but not infallible — they can make errors, particularly on rapidly-evolving topics or highly technical details. Generated books are designed for learning and exploration, not as authoritative reference material. We recommend verifying critical facts from independent sources.

Is the content unique? Can it be used commercially?

Each book is generated fresh from your unique prompt — nothing is reused from other users' generations. You own the generated content and may use it for personal study, notes, or reference. For commercial publication, consult applicable copyright law in your jurisdiction regarding AI-generated content.

Can I customize or edit the generated book?

Polymata does not include an in-app editor. Once downloaded as an ePub, you can edit the file using any ePub editor (such as Calibre or Sigil), or convert it to Word or Markdown format. More detailed generation prompts (up to 3,000 characters) produce more targeted books.

Who is Polymata for?

Polymata is for anyone with genuine curiosity and the motivation to learn deeply: autodidacts who learn independently, polymaths exploring multiple disciplines, professionals mastering a new field quickly, students who want supplementary material at their exact level, and curious minds who find standard textbooks too generic.
