One year ago, I was reading the Genealogy of Morals by Friedrich Nietzsche, but I simply could not understand what Nietzsche was writing, until I started taking pictures of each page and using ChatGPT to explain it. I had to do this for every single page . Even though it took so much effort to do it, the value of reading alongside AI was so high that I finished the entire book this way. I even wrote a Tweet to beg Jeff Bezos to build an AI-powered Kindle so that I don't have to do that anymore . One year has passed, no one has made anything like it, so I decided to make it happen for the world.

Introducing BookRead, an AI-powered E-Reader that make reading effortless and helps you learn more from books.

Some Key features of BookRead AI: AI Explain: Highlight any phrase or sentence, and AI will explain it in simple terms, within the context of the book. You can also ask questions like chatting with ChatGPT. AI Definition: Select text, and AI detects it’s a request for a definition, providing context-based meanings, not just dictionary definitions. Reword & Translate: Reword sentences or translate them into any language you prefer for better understanding. Knowledge Retention: AI generates flashcards at the end of each chapter to help reinforce learning and improve retention, based on Andrew Huberman's self-testing method. Reading Tracking & Library: Track your reading progress, set daily goals, maintain streaks, and access a free book library to stay motivated.

We're very excited about how AI can help us read. There are many interesting AI use cases that we're building for reading, such as chatting with the whole book, generating discussions based on the context, text to speech...
