We’re excited to announce the launch of Insight 2.0—a major update to our AI publishing platform, rebuilt from the ground up to help you work faster and smarter with your books and documents.
Whether you’re generating book metadata for your backlist, proofreading a manuscript, or creating marketing campaigns for forthcoming titles, Insight 2.0 delivers a more powerful, more intuitive experience.
What’s New
New AI Document Tools
Proofreading: Our new AI-powered proofreading tool corrects your documents against customizable rule sets—from house style guidelines to basic grammar checks. Get results as a Word document with tracked changes, making it easy to review and accept edits.
Add Alt Text to EPUBs: In addition to generating short and long image descriptions for visual elements in your book or document, Insight can now also inject that alt text directly into your EPUB file.
Upgraded Vision Mode: For documents with complex layouts—like illustrated books, graphic novels, or multi-column textbooks—Insight’s vision-enabled processing lets AI “see” your pages, so you’ll get more accurate results.
A Fresh Interface
We’ve completely redesigned Insight with a cleaner, more intuitive interface.
- New Dashboard and Navigation: Your home base now gives you an at-a-glance view of recent documents, collections, and searches
- Updated Design: Insight’s new look includes more intuitive actions and quick access to tools you need most
- Dark Mode: Work the way you prefer with a simple light/dark mode toggle
Expanded Language Support
Insight 2.0 now supports more languages than ever—including Arabic. The full Insight interface is now available in these languages, and we’ve ensured that our platform properly handles right-to-left text, complex character sets, and the unique requirements of working with content in different languages.
A Better Way to Organize Your Content
Say hello to Collections—an improved way to organize your documents, images, and resources in Insight.
- Group documents into collections by project, season, imprint, or any way that fits your workflow
- Share collections with your team or keep them private
- Search Collections: Create dynamic collections that automatically update based on search criteria. Set up a collection for “All Fiction uploaded in 2026” and watch it populate itself as you add new titles
Custom Reports for Multiple Books
Exporting information about your books for sales conferences, rights meetings, or editorial reviews is now easier. Generate custom reports for book, multiple books, or your seasonal lists.
Updated Performance
Under the hood, we’ve made significant improvements to how Insight processes your documents and long-form content, giving you better performance across our document analysis, AI chat, and document tools.

FAQ: Insight 2.0 and AI for Publishers
Expand to read the full FAQ
How can book publishers use AI to automate workflows?
Insight 2.0 helps publishers automate time-consuming tasks across the publishing lifecycle. It streamlines workflows by generating book metadata, writing marketing copy, analyzing backlist content for new keywords, and proofreading manuscripts using AI tools that are specifically built for the publishing industry.
Can AI proofread a manuscript while keeping track of changes?
Yes. Insight 2.0 features a specialized AI proofreading tool that checks documents against your house style and grammar rules. Unlike standard spellcheckers, it exports the results as a Word document with tracked changes, allowing editors to review and accept AI suggestions within their existing editorial workflow.
Is there an AI tool that can read complex layouts like graphic novels?
Insight 2.0 includes a new “Vision Mode” in several document tools to work with complex documents. It uses AI to “see” and analyze pages with non-standard layouts, such as graphic novels, illustrated textbooks, and multi-column PDFs, ensuring accurate metadata, translation, proofreading, and more.
Is Veristage Insight secure for pre-publication manuscripts?
Security is our top priority. Insight provides a secure, private environment for your intellectual property. Crucially, we do not use any customer data or uploaded manuscripts to train AI models. Your content remains yours and is never used to improve public AI tools.
Does Insight support AI analysis in multiple languages?
Yes. Insight 2.0 offers full support many languages, including for right-to-left languages like Arabic and complex character sets like Japanese. The platform can even perform cross-language tasks, such as generating English metadata for a Japanese title.
How does AI help with backlist book discovery?
Insight helps revitalize backlists by analyzing older texts to generate keywords, marketing descriptions, and metadata that meets today’s requirements. With the new “Collections” feature, you can also create dynamic groups of backlist titles (e.g., “All 1990s Mystery”) to manage and update metadata for batches of books. And our AI-powered internal document search lets publishers explore their catalogs by meaning and surface backlist titles by themes, topics, styles, and more.
