"World Record Speedrun: Children's Book Author" is a project and YouTube video by Roman Slack in which he attempts to become a published author as fast as possible by leaning on AI tools. The resulting book, "Understanding Nuclear Physics for Kids," turns an advanced scientific topic into accessible material aimed at young readers.
Published under the title "Children's Book Speedrun (WR)" with a recorded time of 01:10:47, the video documents Roman Slack racing through the full authoring and publishing pipeline, treating the process like a speedrun with a world-record clock. It serves as a demonstration of how AI can compress writing, illustration, and self-publishing workflows into a little over an hour.
Designed and built by Roman Slack, Lead AI Platform Engineer. See more of Roman Slack's work on the projects page or get in touch via the contact page.
