So we built Bitter, an AI reader that helps us quickly understand complicated books and papers. We’ve found it incredibly useful for skimming through long books / papers but then diving deep into the parts that seem especially interesting.

Currently, Bitter lets you: Upload a PDF or add any webpage/PDF through a URL Highlight text for instant explanations Click section headers to get a quick summary

Instead of a chat UI, the focus is on the content and the AI is integrated in more ambient ways. We’re more interested in “AI helps me as I read” rather than “AI reads for me”.

We’d love for you to try it out @ readbitter.com
