We use AI to create animated book summary videos for visual learners. If you don't like reading but want to learn from the best non-fiction books, this is the app for you.
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.
Business Model We've adopted a freemium approach:
Free tier: 60 minutes of learning per day
Premium: $89/year or $13/month for unlimited access
iOS & Android apps: Search "BookWatch" in app stores

This is what Ai should be used for, glad to see barriers are being broken to those who are more of a visual learner!
The idea in it core is truly amazing , Can't wait to test it out myself :)
As a visual learner I've been waiting for something like this, gonna try it out!
Used✅ Loved✅ Upvoted✅
You can make it more better guys, if you want my ideas, connect me on [email protected]
Congrats on the launch!! Love using the app to stay engaged while reading. Can't wait to use the web app.
Fan-freaking-tastic! Fantastic looking product and reasonable cost for premium upgrade! Looking forward to trying it out!
When I see products like this, the first thing I check is the subscription price. Often SaaS startups will just price at like $10 to $20 a month for some niche product that may or may not be good, hasn't had a product update on their website or social media since their launch several months prior. To me, this is where product launches fall flat.
But an annual subscription of $60 is something I can easily take the plunge, accept the risk, and, if it doesn't work for me, just walk away. Thank you for considering this price point!
P.S.
Android rules and Apple drools! Please make an Android app lol
Great concept and it is life hack if you don't want to read the whole book!
BookWatch is a game-changer for visual learners, turning non-fiction bestsellers into engaging animated video summaries. It features an AI-powered book expert for personalized advice, a smart note-taking system for seamless learning, and an AI recommendation engine to tailor book suggestions to your goals. The platform's gamified progress tracking keeps you motivated with badges and learning streaks. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn efficiently and enjoyably!
Big congratulations to Bookwatch and its CEO for bringing such an innovative idea to life! The way AI is being used for book recommendations and translations across different categories is truly impressive. Making a wide range of books in all the categories accessible to more people is a rare and commendable effort.
One suggestion—if there’s a way to allow users to upload their own PDFs and convert them into visualized formats like existing books on the platform, it would make the experience even better. Wishing you all the best in taking Bookwatch to greater heights!
