Hey PH community! πŸ‘‹

I'm Ajay, the solo maker behind Bookasto β€” a podcast-style book summary app that makes learning from non-fiction actually enjoyable and sticky.

What is Bookasto?

I built Bookasto to solve a problem I personally faced: why could I listen to podcasts for hours but quit book summary apps after minutes? Most summary apps feel like rushed lectures with robotic narration. Bookasto delivers podcast-style book summaries in under 20 minutes that feel natural, engaging, and designed for retention.

Key Features

🎧 Podcast-Style Narration: Natural, human-like audio β€” no robotic text-to-speech

πŸ“š Diverse Library: 1000+ summaries across 10+ life themes β€” from productivity to philosophy, not just business

πŸ’‘ Built for Retention: Thoughtfully crafted to help you remember and apply insights, not just consume faster

⏰ Time-Conscious: Quality summaries that fit your busy schedule β€” all under 20 minutes

πŸ“± Mobile-First: Perfect for commutes, workouts, or any downtime

Who It's For

✨ Busy professionals who want to keep learning but lack time for full books

πŸŽ“ Students and lifelong learners seeking engaging, retainable content

πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ Anyone who prefers audio learning and wants to build consistent learning habits

πŸ“ˆ People looking to apply book insights practically, not just tick boxes

Our Story & Mission

Over the past 3+ months, I've personally curated every single summary, working to make each one feel like a thoughtful conversation rather than a fact checklist.

My mission is simple: make learning from books as engaging as your favorite podcast.

I'd Love Your Feedback!

❀️Thank you for checking out Bookasto β€” hope it adds real value to your learning journey! πŸŽ‰

Got to see the demo of Bookasto. I got to say it is just amazing. Feels like you are listening to real humans summarizing the book. Super helpful for people who are constantly on the move or have a very busy schedule.

@puru80Β Thank you so much! πŸ™Œ That means a lot. I really wanted Bookasto to feel like a real, human conversation β€” not just a robotic summary. So glad it resonated with you! Perfectly said β€” it’s made for busy, curious minds always on the go. πŸš€πŸŽ§

Very cool insight, and very interesting product. And I'm sure it will just keep getting better as the TTS models keep getting better.
