If you want a platform that helps you appreciate and connect with old books, Rebind is a great option. This AI-reading platform offers guided tours led by experts, with interpretations from famous authors and other experts, and with original video and AI-powered chat. The site offers tools for active reading and writing prompts, too, so it's a good option for those who want to explore classic books from authors like James Joyce and Jane Austen.
Another contender is Hyra, an Apple Vision Pro app that immerses you in book worlds with AI. The app includes AI-created scenes for each chapter that change as you read, and it's designed to be immersive. It's got five classics so far, including The Great Gatsby and Alice in Wonderland, but it should improve as the app matures with new features like spatial audio and adjustable page size.
If you want something more social and interactive, check out Trellis. This AI-powered system offers a reading companion, Celeste, that will answer your questions and offer context. It also offers customizable audio versions of documents and a universal document manager, so you can organize and share reading materials with friends. It's designed to help with personalized learning and adaptive tools that can be customized for different students.
Last, if you need a quick summary and the main points of a book, BooksAI.com is worth a look. Powered by ChatGPT, it'll pull out summaries, quotes and to-do lists from books so you can get a handle on what's important and remember it. It's good for book lovers and researchers who want to get the gist of a book without reading the whole thing.
