How do I disclose AI-generated content on KDP?

When do you need to disclose AI?

KDP currently defines content as AI-generated when an AI tool created the actual text, image or translation. That still counts if you substantially edit the result later.

AI drafting a chapter

AI generating an illustration

AI creating cover art

AI translating existing text

What about AI-assisted writing?

AI-assisted work is treated differently. If you wrote the material yourself and used AI for editing, proofreading, refinement, error checking or brainstorming, KDP currently says that use does not need to be disclosed as AI-generated content.

Keep track while you write

This is much easier than trying to reconstruct the process at publishing time. For a long project, note which portions were written entirely by you, expanded by AI, drafted by AI or translated by AI. Do the same for cover and interior images.

Why this can become confusing

Modern writing workflows are rarely all-or-nothing. You may write most of a chapter but have AI create two paragraphs. You may use AI heavily in one chapter and not at all in another. You may generate a cover image but design all typography yourself.

The publishing question arrives at the end, but the information needed to answer it is created throughout the writing process.

Author Magic tracks the process

Author Magic handles this at the project level. Its Authorship Dial lets you choose how much AI participates in each chapter, from AI only checking your writing to AI drafting from your brief.

Because the workflow itself is recorded, the app can use that information when preparing the metadata you need for KDP. That means less guessing when your book is finally ready to upload.

Author Magic can also use different AI providers for different jobs, including Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter and compatible local models. Regardless of which model you use, you remain responsible for reviewing the final book and answering Amazon's disclosure questions accurately.
