BookExpo365 Launches AI-Powered 365-Day Book Growth Platform

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, September 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — BookExpo365, powered by AI X Network and HE365, today announced an AI-powered platform designed to help authors and publishers extend book discovery, engagement and relationship-building beyond the traditional launch period.

Authors and publishers often invest heavily in editing, production, distribution, publicity, digital advertising, video and launch events. Once a campaign ends, however, visibility can decline and the process of generating attention often begins again.

BookExpo365 is designed around a continuous model: Launch → Discover → Engage → Match → Recommend → Connect → Grow.

At the center of the platform is the Virtual Book Booth. Each booth can be equipped with an AI Digital Twin grounded in an author's book, knowledge and approved content. Visitors can learn about the book, ask questions, explore videos and resources, and identify relevant next steps even when the author is offline.

BookExpo365 brings several capabilities together in one environment:

  • AI Digital Twin and AI Assistant provide 24/7 book and author engagement based on approved content.
  • HeyGen AI Video supports book trailers, author introductions, interviews and promotional video experiences.
  • AI Matchmaking helps identify relevant connections among authors, readers, publishers, media, podcasters, bookstores and potential partners.
  • Smart Recommendations surface relevant books, people, events, content and potential opportunities.
  • AI Search and Discovery enables conversational discovery across participating books, authors and resources.
  • Virtual and Hybrid Events support book launches, author interviews, readings, panels, workshops and publisher showcases.
  • Teleport Network Passport enables participating authors to extend their presence across selected AI X Network communities, including Startup365, LocalBiz365, GlobalTrade365 and StayHealthy365.

"A book launch should be the beginning of the journey, not the end. BookExpo365 is designed to keep authors discoverable, connected and engaged long after launch day."

— Matt Fok, Founder of AI X Network

BookExpo365 is designed to move book promotion from a short campaign toward an ongoing relationship model. A reader may discover a book, interact with an AI Digital Twin, receive a relevant recommendation and connect with the author or another participant. Those interactions can support continued reader engagement and may also surface media, speaking, partnership or community opportunities.

"Matt has created a transformative vision for authors in the digital age. BookExpo365 takes the traditional book launch beyond a single moment and creates an always-on opportunity to build authority, expand reach, tell your story and connect with audiences around the world."

— G. Mick Smith, The Doctor of Digital and Chief Story Strategist & Authority Architect for Thought Leaders

As part of its founding launch, BookExpo365 is opening a pilot for up to 10 selected authors or publishers to receive a complimentary Virtual Book Booth. Selection is subject to fit, content readiness and onboarding capacity.

BookExpo365 is also seeking collaboration with publishers, publishing associations, bookstores, libraries, universities, book clubs, media organizations, podcasters, sponsors and strategic partners.

More information is available at BookExpo365.com. Partnership and pilot inquiries may also be scheduled at go.oncehub.com/MattFok.
