Hi everybody 👋, my name is Frank, co-founder of BookRead AI Our Story One year ago, I was reading the Genealogy of Morals by Friedrich Nietzsche, but I simply could not understand what Nietzsche was writing, until I started taking pictures of each page and using ChatGPT to explain it. I had to do this for every single page 😵‍💫. Even though it took so much effort to do it, the value of reading alongside AI was so high that I finished the entire book this way. I even wrote a Tweet to beg Jeff Bezos to build an AI-powered Kindle so that I don't have to do that anymore 🤣. One year has passed, no one has made anything like it, so @thugmike and I decided to make it happen for the world.🫡 Our Solutions Introducing BookRead📙, an AI-powered E-Reader that make reading effortless and helps you learn more from books. Some Key features of BookRead AI: 👨‍🏫AI Explain: Highlight any phrase or sentence, and AI will explain it in simple terms, within the context of the book. You can also ask questions like chatting with ChatGPT. ✅AI Definition: Select text, and AI detects it’s a request for a definition, providing context-based meanings, not just dictionary definitions. 🅰️Reword & Translate: Reword sentences or translate them into any language you prefer for better understanding. 📚Knowledge Retention: AI generates flashcards at the end of each chapter to help reinforce learning and improve retention, based on Andrew Huberman's self-testing method. 🌟Reading Tracking & Library: Track your reading progress, set daily goals, maintain streaks, and access a free book library to stay motivated. We're very excited about how AI can help us read. There are many interesting AI use cases that we're building for reading, such as chatting with the whole book, generating discussions based on the context, text to speech... Our asks 👉 What features would you like to see? 👉 What’s your favorite book that you’ve read in 2024? 👉 Did you read anything today? We also have a special code for the product hunters: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ct... 50% off of first year! Happy Reading☺️

@thugmike @frankt002 Right there with you guys. Reading War and Peace I went through the same thing. Leveraged GPT but not to my satisfaction. Excited to try this out

Recap

Congrats, Frank. When I'm reading biographies or philosophy books, I really need this tool. Sometimes, while reading, I come across particularly important quotes that I'd like to share-this seems like a pretty interesting use case too.

@zhiqi_shi @frankt002 That's an awesome idea! A feature that allows to share a quote directly with a personal comment into a post on LinkedIn, Twitter or Bluesky would be great!

Hi @frankt002 and @thugmike congrats for the great idea and the launch! I would love to test your product asap. Am I right that you only have an iOS version atm? When do you plan to ship an Android version? I'm intersted in the Reword & Translate feature. Which languages are possible? Does the AI Explain feature works only for English or other languages as well?

Are books available in various languages in this product? I want to read some original works in foreign languages, but it’s quite troublesome to look up words from time to time. I think the feature of directly translating words and sentences is fantastic. Like it 👍
