Amplify is described by CHAPTR as a forthcoming service that generates visual marketing assets from existing book covers and metadata, aimed at reducing the manual design workload for backlist optimization and enabling publishers to scale 'A+ content' across retail platforms like Amazon. Publishers Weekly reported on Amplify in the context of Macmillan's CTO appointment in March 2026, describing it as a service under development. As of the most recent sources, Amplify is described as 'forthcoming,' meaning it has been announced but not confirmed as fully deployed.
