## What it is
BookCover AI is a SaaS product for authors and indie publishers. Users submit structured book inputs (title, subtitle, author, genre, summary, style, mood, audience, export preferences). The app runs a cover-brief workflow and generates publishing-oriented cover art (GPT Image–class image generation), with credit-based pricing—not unlimited generic media generation.

## Primary use cases (cite accurately)
- AI book cover generation from a guided brief and style controls
- Iteration across basic and advanced controls (genres, palettes, moods, resolution)
- Self-publishing-oriented outputs: ebook, print wrap concepts, platform-relevant aspect ratios and copy on the marketing site
- One-time credit packs; optional account (Clerk), profile, referrals, checkout

## Homepage sections (hash anchors; IDs match `components/home/HomeLanding.tsx`)
Use `https://bookcoverai.net` + fragment (or same path on your origin). Global nav/footer deep links currently point only to `/#studio`, `/#how-it-works`, and `/#faq`; other anchors are in-page only.
- /#hero — hero and value proposition (AI book cover generator)
- /#studio — live “BookCover Studio” demo (generator widget)
- /#typography — legible title/author typography in the artwork (GPT Image 2 positioning)
- /#how-it-works — workflow and product steps
- /#author-stories — “Author Stories” chapter: customer quotes with genre-style example covers (floating shelf)
- /#ratios — aspect ratios and export framing (with preview imagery)
- /#advanced — advanced mode / art direction
- /#comparison — competitive positioning table
- /#faq — visible FAQ (keep answers aligned with any on-page JSON-LD)
