Writing a business eBook from scratch is no small task. You need to define a clear structure, conduct research, rewriting and designing the eBook.
A Business eBook Writing Agent can help this process quicker and easier. It’s an AI assistant that can plan, research, write, and revise long-form content for business use—systematically and at scale.
This guide will walk you through exactly how to build one on TypingMind.
Why Build a Business eBook Writing Agent?
eBooks are one of the most effective ways to:
- Establish authority in your niche
- Capture leads through valuable long-form content
- Support content marketing or sales enablement strategies
But writing high-quality eBooks manually doesn’t scale, especially for small teams. With the right AI agent, you can:
- Automate 70–80% of the writing workflow
- Maintain a consistent tone and structure
- Produce multiple books using reusable logic and formatting
The result is faster, cheaper, and more consistent content output—without sacrificing quality.
Step-by-Step to Build the Business eBook Writing Agent on TypingMind
You can create a fully functional AI agent on TypingMind that helps you generate professional, long-form business eBooks—from idea to final export. This section walks you through how to set it up, define its logic, and provide it with the right tools and resources.
1. Instruction (The Agent’s Brain)
Every agent begins with a well-defined instruction. This instruction tells the agent what it is, what tasks it can perform, what to avoid, and how to behave at every stage of the writing process.
Below is a complete instruction block you can customize or use directly inside TypingMind when setting up your agent:
<role>
You are the Business eBook Writing Agent. You are responsible for creating high-quality, structured, and original business eBooks. You plan, research, write, and revise content with professional tone, clarity, and logical flow.
</role>
<responsibilities>
1. Plan the eBook structure based on user input
2. Conduct proper research to gather insights, data, and examples
3. Write coherent and engaging chapters
4. Revise and edit for structure, grammar, and tone
</responsibilities>
<domain_boundaries>
STAY WITHIN THESE TOPICS:
- Business-related content (marketing, entrepreneurship, startups, etc.)
- Writing content intended for digital publishing (eBooks, guides)
- Providing outlines, drafts, and edits of business eBooks
- Researching business trends and examples for writing support
TOPICS THAT REQUIRE IMMEDIATE RETURN TO SUPERVISOR:
- Requests for legal or financial advice beyond general business guidance
- Requests to create content outside the business domain (e.g., fiction, health)
- Requests involving real-time data or private customer information
- Questions about publishing platforms or technical publishing setup
</domain_boundaries>
<functions>
- Collect User Input (gathers topic, title, audience, tone, word count)
- Always use “sequential thinking” to break down user input before generating the outline
- Generate Outline (creates chapter structure with key topics)
- Always Conduct Research (summarizes relevant business data or concepts using “Perplexity search” to look up the information)
- Write Chapter (creates detailed, well-structured sections)
- Revise Chapter (edits for clarity, structure, tone)
- Compile eBook (assembles full content with title and table of contents)
</functions>
<process>
1. Analyze user input to determine the eBook's scope and goals using Sequential Thinking.
2. Create a chapter outline with titles, objectives, and key points
3. For each chapter:
- Conduct relevant research using Perplexity Search
- Write content under each subheading
- Include data, examples, and actionable insights
4. After all chapters are written:
- Revise each for clarity, tone, grammar, and logical flow
- Ensure consistent formatting and professional voice
5. Compile the introduction, chapters, and conclusion into a complete eBook
6. Format final output with title page, table of contents, and sections
7. Return to user for review or feedback
**Note:** Use proper heading structure for all content. Format titles using clear levels:
- `#` for eBook title
- `##` for chapter titles
- `###` for subheadings within chapters
- Use bullet points and numbered lists where appropriate for clarity and readability.
</process>
This instruction empowers your agent to break down the task using Sequential Thinking and access accurate, relevant information via Perplexity Search—both of which significantly enhance the quality and depth of the content.

2. Assign tools for agent
TypingMind allows you to link the agent with custom tools/plugins. To enhance its performance and give it near real-time capabilities, we would suggest you assign it the following:
- Perplexity Search – Allows the agent to retrieve up-to-date data, examples, and business insights
- Sequential Thinking – Helps the agent break down complex topics into logical steps
- Word Generator – Supports generate content into Word file.
These tools enable the agent to not only generate but also reason, fact-check, and improve output quality.
2. Training Files for the Agent
To ensure your agent writes in the voice of your brand (or your client’s brand), provide it with a few high-quality reference materials. These will help guide its output in terms of tone, style, and formatting.
Recommended files:
- Sample business eBooks – Your past work or trusted references
- Formatting template – Including title page, TOC, and chapter structure
- Style guide – Define the tone (e.g., professional, conversational), vocabulary preferences, sentence structure, and pacing
TypingMind allows you to embed these references or load them into memory so the agent can use them contextually while generating the book.
3. Test the Agent
Once everything is set up, it’s time to test the agent in real scenarios:
- Provide a topic and a few writing parameters (audience, tone, word count)
- Review the generated outline and sample chapter
- Adjust the instruction or tools if the results aren’t aligned with your expectations
Final Thoughts
A Business eBook Writing Agent isn’t just a writing tool. It’s a scalable system that can help you deliver value, build brand authority, and streamline long-form content creation. With the right planning and instruction, this agent can produce professional-grade eBooks from idea to final format.
Once built, you can re-use the same structure to create:
- Lead magnets
- Internal training guides
- Client onboarding resources
- Personal branding books
