Hi PH! 👋 Makers here, launching Readever today. We built Readever because “AI for reading” often means summaries after the fact, but the real pain is getting stuck while reading. Readever helps you read inside the text:
1. In-Context Q&A: Highlight any sentence while reading and ask questions where you’re stuck without leaving the page.
2. Proactive Reading Guidance: It adapts to your goals and level, proactively showing Highlight Cards so you get help even when you don’t know what to ask.
3. 5,000+ AI Reading Mentors: Read with thinkers, founders, writers, and historians. Ask them questions or let mentors debate to reveal different perspectives.
4. Built-in Translation: Read across languages without breaking your flow.
5. AI Book-Finding Agent: Describe what you want in natural language and get book recommendations tailored to your taste and intent. Readever is your next Knowledge Curator.
6. Memory system: Readever keeps you inside the text with fewer interruptions and faster comprehension, from the first page to the next book.
Readever isn’t for passive reading, it’s for understanding.
And yes, it’s totally free on the web!!!

Is it possible to use an abstraction of a famous person's voice? How does that work if there's a monetisation aspect to it?
Readever
@busmark_w_nika We are planning to add multi model abilities to Readever. Many of our users wish for this feature. As for monetisation, we plan to only add non-copyrighted materials first, and then try to get deals with influencers/publishers.

@jin_shang1 The part with influencers seems to be a huge part. Then, I would like to read some summary of that experience.

Great idea and a great product! Is there an option to read the book with the books author?
Readever
@avloss yes!!! of course 😄 you can invite anyone into your readever reading group to join your reading journey... including the author (and even the author’s enemies + critics too...🤫🤫)
@yumgong I'd like to know why your celebrity AI can simulate celebrities. Is it based on celebrities' past public speeches?
Readever
@yumgong @xinyue_zhang3 Speech, articles, blogs, books. Basically we make a knowledge base for every persona that AI can refer to.
Readever
@avloss Yes! It's one of the favorate features of our users. The author persona can explain the deeper subtext of the book. For example, reading A Hundred Years of Solitude with Márquez where he explains all the plots and metaphors.

I used it last night and genuinely felt accompanied while reading . a surprisingly warm experience.
Readever
@joanna_l_ Thank you! That's exactly our goal for Readever. We hope to transform the lonely reading into a fun and interesting experience

How does Readever personalize the reading journey for each user, especially readers with different goals?
Readever
@candyrorae We have a fine grained memory system. The AI will remember books you have read, questions you have asked and highlights you have marked. Then it will proactively create personalized reading recommendations, in-book notes and reading paths for you.
Readever
@candyrorae great question!!
readever personalizes in 3 layers: you set your goal (learn fast, deep study, write, etc.) and level, then we adapt the guidance cards and explanations in real time while you read, and our memory learns from what you read, ask, and note so the next sessions and recommendations get progressively more tailored.

Congrats! Can users upload their own books, and does personalization still work with imported titles?
Readever
@lyss_luo Yes! User uploaded books work the same as imported titles!
Readever
@lyss_luo yes!!! you can upload any file you want to read 😄❤️ personalization still works with imported titles too, because it’s driven by your reading goal + what you highlight, ask, and note during the session.

How is Readever fundamentally different from NotebookLM, Readwise, or other reading/summarizer tools?
Readever
@rydensun Great question!!! We love tools like NotebookLM and Readwise, but Readever is built around a different core belief: read the book, not just the summary, and use AI to augment the reader in the moment.
Readever focuses on in-reading augmentation, not post-reading summaries: you can highlight and ask instantly get proactive guidance cards.
Even more interesting, you can read with 5,000 mentor lenses, use built-in translation, and rely on a book concierge plus memory that learns from what you read, ask, and note!
Readever
@rydensun All the other AI reading tools focus on summarization/Q&A/flashcards that replace the reading experience. Reading, on the contrary, focus on making the reading experience itself more fun and interesting. We never want to replace reading. Instead we want make it a more immersive and fun experience.

Cool! Amazing for reading!

@peng_wood Thank you! We want to turn lonely and tedious reading into a immersive and inspiring experience. Readever's goal is to make everybody deeply enjoy every book they want to read.
Would Readever be useful for university students, researchers, or people writing a thesis?
Readever
@hassiumred Yes! For it's ideal for researchers because current AI tools only provide shallow and broad summarizations. Readever aims to provide deep comprehension, which is exactly what researchers need. For example while reading papers AI will highlight the parts that's relevant to your previous research interests or paper read.
Readever
@hassiumred yes, it’s super useful for university students and researchers. we already have students and scholars using Readever to read dense stuff like ml textbooks and even foucault.
and… quietly… a lot of students use it to speed up reading reports and assignments too 🤫
