Automate: Build a Whole Book Hands-Free

Once you’ve been through the workflow manually, Automate is the shortcut for every book after that: Brushey the AutoMate, an in-app agent that drives the same stages you would — Sketch, Coloring, Book, Assets, Videos — clicking the same buttons, respecting the same rules.

The Dashboard, Top to Bottom

• Project — the brief, assembled from your open project (name, page count, trim size).
• Palette — the marker palette the Coloring stage will use (None, Copic 358, Honolulu 216, Tombow 108).
• Masking — the Assets-stage toggles (Remove White, Object Mask).
• Audio Sync — point it at a music folder (with Is Loop) and the videos come out synced, same as in the Videos stage.
• Simulate Inputs — when Simulate is on, Brushey moves the cursor and types like a person (with optional Typing/Click sounds) — fun to watch, great for demos. Off, it works silently at full speed. Close on Start collapses the dashboard once the run begins.
• Stages to run — pick any subset of Sketch / Coloring / Book / Assets / Videos. With Skip done on, stages and pages that are already complete are detected and skipped — never redone.
• Progress — a stepper across the pipeline plus a live log of exactly what Brushey is doing. Run starts it; the same button stops and resumes.

When the run finishes, the output notes tell you what matters: book_cover.pdf and book_paperback.pdf are the files you submit to KDP, and the MP4s are your full timelapse videos.

Credit Safety

Automate follows the same credit rules you do — more strictly, in fact: generation always uses the fill-the-gaps approach (the equivalent of Run Rest), so an automated run never regenerates pages that already exist. Interrupting and resuming costs nothing extra.

When to Use It

• Overnight batch — plan two or three books in the evening, run Automate, review finished drafts in the morning.
• Restarting stalled projects — point it at a half-finished book with Skip done on, and it completes only what’s missing.
