What it does
Everything inside Book Summary.
Chapter-by-chapter summaries
Every summary includes a 3-5 paragraph overview, 5-7 key insights, actionable takeaways, memorable quotes, author background, a critic-style 5-point rating, and 5-8 chapter breakdowns with key points.
Personalized with quick questions
Before generating, the AI streams a few clarifying questions about your goals so the summary matches your focus, answer them or skip straight to generation.
Chat with the book
A built-in chat grounded in the full summary lets you ask follow-ups, attach images, speak your question with voice input, and hear answers read aloud.
Insight flashcards
Key insights become swipeable flip cards, swipe right for "got it", left for "review", with progress dots, a mastery percentage, and review-again loops saved across sessions.
Interactive mind maps
The AI detects fiction vs non-fiction and draws either a character relationship map or a concept structure map you can tap to expand, then export as a PNG or SVG image.
Chapter deep dives
One tap streams a 400-600 word analysis of any chapter, key arguments, supporting examples, counterpoints, and how it ties to the book's thesis, cached so reopening is instant.
Book club mode
Generates exactly 8 discussion questions split into icebreakers, deep dives, and debates, each with a facilitator note, ready to share with your reading group.
Listen to everything
Natural text-to-speech reads summaries, chapters, and deep dives aloud, with audio cached so replays start immediately.
Reading list and history
Shelve books as Want to Read, Currently Reading, or Finished, search your full summary history by date, restore any past summary instantly, and export polished PDFs with cover art.
