I’m building an AI product, but I don’t think “AI-powered” is the value

I m working on Percivo, a reading app for people who want practical insights from books, not just shorter summaries.

The core idea is simple:

AI shouldn t only compress content.
It should help people extract better meaning from it.

That s the direction I m building toward with Percivo.

Weren't you featured on Product Hunt? You still shouldn't give up. [Try it again]

I remember many people getting demotivated after not being featured and leaving the platform.

In my opinion, that's not the best idea.

When will we be able to clone human memories? Scientists just uploaded a fruit fly brain into a PC

A story and an experiment have been spreading on X: Scientists uploaded the brain of a fruit fly into a computer, and now it lives freely in its own simulation.

We managed to clone the physical form of animals more than 30 years ago (for example, the cloning of a goat using SCNT in 1999). There was even a controversial case in China where a scientist was sued after attempting to create gene-edited babies in 2018.

Percivo - The book through your lens.

Most book apps give you one version of a book. Percivo gives you seven. Every book starts with Core Insights — a structured analysis of what the book is really about and how it works. Then you see it through 6 different lenses: Entrepreneur, Student, Parent, Busy Professional, Creative, and Leader, so the ideas connect directly to your life. ✅ 2,800+ books ✅ 7 perspectives each ✅ 3–5 min per insight Not a summary. A prism.
