Readwell is an AI-powered book discovery app that finds titles you’ll actually love based on your taste, mood, and bookshelf. No more scrolling or guessing what to read next. Just take a pic of your books and let the Readwell do the rest. Start enjoying books!
Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Vlad, one of the makers of Readwell.
We built Readwell because we love books, but we hated how hard it was to find great ones we’d actually enjoy. Most recommendation engines are generic or based on what’s popular, not on you.
So we set out to build a smarter, more personal way to discover books. With Readwell, you get:
• AI-powered recommendations based on your taste
• A personalized “Read Match Score” to help you decide fast
• Smart search that works with vibes, moods, or big ideas
• Curated bookshelves you can follow (like playlists for books)
We’re most proud of how fun and effortless it feels to use. You get value from the first search; no need to rate 100 books first.
We’d love your thoughts, feature requests, and brutally honest feedback. Let’s make book discovery joyful again. 🚀📚
It looks very intriguing concept! But when I try to download seems can’t download from Apple UK region 😭@vladches
This is such a great idea!
I would love to use this app to discover more books. I've been consuming so many books lately, since I switched to Audible.
Any reason why it's a phone app and not a web app? (I don't have an iPhone so I am not able to use it 😔)
I love this idea, will there be ways to get recommendations based upon what others are reading too? For example, if I'm into entrepreneurship, will it help identify the top books from this topic that are most popular from this month/year, etc?
Love the ‘Spotify for books’ analogy—it really captures how effortless discovery should feel. Really impressed with the summaries feature — are they purely AI‑generated or do you also have editors curating or checking them?
Such a clever idea! Wishing you all the best with the launch and beyond. Can't wait to see what's next for Readwell!
I have never understood why anyone would leave their reading choices to the choice of whatever pulbishing house is paying for a feature on current shelves.I am an avid user of Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1902224-kevin-mcdonagh and I am so open to someone toppling it's dominance. I love following authors and acquaintances to keep my reading sharp and I really like these smart features but I'm on Android :( Please lean into what Goodreads does not do, this is where all challengers have failed. They keep trying to recreate good reads, don't bother, just work on the FOMO and capitalise on the fact that goodreads never ever update. You could get really far really fast for a small die hard audience.
Readwell takes the guesswork out of book discovery — love how it personalizes picks based on your actual shelf and mood. A perfect tool for curious readers. Congrats on the launch 🚀
Just upvoted 👏 This looks awesome!
I'm curious, how does Readwell's AI learn about my taste over time? Does it adapt based on what I search, click, or read?
Nice! Think adding a social element would also do extremely well here. What are my friends reading and what would I get recommended from that
No more endless scrolling for book recs? Just snap my shelf and get picks?? That’s genius, tbh. Readwell is literally what my reading rut needed, fr.
I love the concept of using AI to personalize book discovery based on vibes and moods—feels like Spotify for books but smarter!
