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.🫡

Hey Frank!
Congratulations on the launch! It is a great idea of integrating AI to make the reader understand lines that s/he doesn't.
I personally will love this feature because it will at least help me finish reading my set of books.
All the best!
Congratulations on the launch of BookRead! This solution effectively addresses common challenges in engaging with digital reading materials.
What specific self-test features does BookRead offer to enhance comprehension and retention for users as they progress through different books?
Nice implementation. Loved the reading experience. Needs a flip mode for pdfs. And the goal tracking thingies should def be widgets. Something for upcoming releases. But awesome product.
Wow, this is such a cool idea! I love the thought of having ChatGPT integrated while I’m reading—it would be amazing for clarifying tricky concepts or diving deeper into the story. Plus, the self-tests sound like a fun way to really retain what I read. Definitely bookmarking this!
This is an incredibly useful tool if you're an avid reader and looking to build thought leadership through content on LinkedIn or Twitter. Great work @frankt002!
BookRead is a game-changer for book enthusiasts! 📚 The idea of tracking your reading progress, discovering new books, and connecting with like-minded readers all in one platform is fantastic. The user-friendly interface and thoughtful features make it a must-try for anyone who loves reading. Great work by the team—wishing you huge success with this launch!
I love that this can take my existing process for reading comprehension and makes it more accessible and powerful. Will be trying it out in the next few weeks.
Great idea! Perfect, especially for helping to understand somewhat technical essays. Could it work in connection with an e-reader?
