Hey Product Hunters! 👋
I'm Miran Antamian, founder and CEO of BookWatch, and I'm thrilled to introduce BookWatch.com. The first AI-powered Visual Library for learners who hate reading but love growing. 📚✨
After 1.5 years of building, 65,000+ mobile app users, and countless animated summaries, we're launching our New Web App to make learning even more effortless.
🧠 The Problem: Visual Learners Can't Learn from Books in Text or Audio Formats
Did you know that 65% of people identify as visual learners? Yet most book knowledge remains trapped in text format. Many of us want the wisdom of great books but struggle with:
Finding time to read entire books
Maintaining focus through hundreds of pages
Remembering key concepts without visual reinforcement
Traditional reading is slow, boring, and leaves millions of learners behind.
🎬 Our Solution: Learn by Watching, Not Reading
BookWatch uses proprietary AI technology to transform non-fiction bestsellers into animated video summaries that capture the core ideas in a visually engaging format.
✨ What Makes BookWatch Special?
1️⃣ AI-Powered Personal Book Expert
Every video comes with an AI expert that knows everything about that specific book. Ask how to apply concepts to your unique situation: "How can I use these ideas to improve my startup?" or "How would this apply to my leadership role?". Our AI expert will give you specific advice based on the book on how to apply it in your life or business situation.
2️⃣ Smart Note-Taking System
Our one-click note system captures what's being said at that exact moment in the video. No need to pause or get distracted - just click and continue watching! Review and organize your notes later.
3️⃣ AI Book Recommendation Engine
Don't know where to start? Tell our AI what you want to learn ("I want to be a better public speaker" or "I want to be more productive" or "I want to learn b2b sales"), and it'll recommend the perfect books from our library.
4️⃣ Progress Tracking & Gamification
Stay motivated with achievement badges, learning streaks, and a visual representation of your growing knowledge base. See how many days have you been learning and which books helped you more.

Free tier: 60 minutes of learning per day

Thank you Product Hunt community! 📚✨
@miranantamian I really want to thank you for this wonderful product! Is it possible to upload a PDF and access it visually?
@dineshan_sithamparanathan Not yet because creating this kind of videos takes time! But will try to do in the future!
@john_tans Thank you!
@miranantamian Love this concept! Excited to try this out!
This looks really interesting! People who struggle with reading a lot of books will love it. It’s going to make the world a smarter place! Huge congratulations on your launch! 🎉
@kay_arkain Yes that's my hope!
@kay_arkain Thanks so much!
With this app, when someone asks, ‘Have you read this book?’ you can actually say YES by tomorrow.
Do yourself a favor stop watching YouTube, quit pretending podcasts count as reading, and download this app instead. Your brain will thank you.
@anti_10 Thanks Anti!
@anti_10 You know how to promote for sure :)
@miranantamian How can I redeem the 1 month free? It just copy the "PH", but there is nowhere in the sign in process to redeem it. 🤔
Amazing product to make our world smarter. I love it, thanks to your efforts. Good luck to your startup. BTW do you plan to add our languages or subtitles in other languages? It can help people to learn languages too.
I love the idea of translating writing across mediums.
That said, the drawings/images feel a little clipart-y and less memorable than human-made illustrations. But I realize it's early!
@rrhoover Yes we are currently improving that too! The newest videos have better drawings!
