Interesting take..


I would really want to use this, maybe about once a week, for major PRs. I find it absurd that we all get AI help writing large features but very little help when doing the approx same job in reviewing that code. I actually would even read my own PRs with it, as my workflow with AI is to prompt it to acheive building some feature/goal, then only review the code once things work (this is an oversimplification).


Yes! I personally iterate without understanding the code too much (since it'll change), and fully assess what Claude Code (in my case) has done after I finished a piece of work.


Thank you for noting this. That's an unexpected bug, will fix.


Oh you can actually do that in this! the nodes of the map if you click them have references to the actual 10Ks which are readable as html in the space. Not only can you read the original text, but the html has been 'chapterized'; you can also read summaries of chapters. Further, you can query anything in chat - where if you select the document and ask, it retrieves the right passages to answer your questions too.


Hi all,

I got sick of copy pasting everything I'm reading through deeply into ChatGPT and getting lost in walls of text.

I'm building a new map like interface to understand any topic deeply. As you chat, your map gets built out, kind of like a nice notebook. You can search the web and pull in/upload documents in any format (pdf/epub/html), create maps over those docs for deeper understanding. You can also listen in podcast mode to your map for complete control over what you're listening to. You can semantic search docs, but also the interface has chapter level awareness of each uploaded source.

Samples are also available at proread.ai/pgessays , proread.ai/books , proread.ai/llm-papers.

Here's a couple of recent spaces I was consuming lately 1. economics - https://www.proread.ai/share/3fd6fa9d-5aea-4dd1-a190-eb83a6a... 2. the dollar weakening - https://www.proread.ai/share/3ca2565f-96ed-4abf-a523-e32b591...


Well, on the flipside of writing with AI, I've been making an app to read papers with AI! https://www.proread.ai/community/ab7bd00c-e017-4de2-b6fb-502... ; Please give me feedback if you try it!


Quite a nice interface, it reminds me of the static sites that Perplexity builds in Labs mode. Is it open source?


Thank you! Its not open source, no. I need to check those out, I have not.


I’m working on something inspired by Cursor and Obsidian — but for research, reading and note-taking.

I’ve not been satisfied with how AI is bolted on after the fact — reading in one place, notes in another, and AI as a separate assistant. So I’m combining them.

It works over EPUBs, PDFs, and HTML — you bring your own sources (BYOS), and it turns them into a AI scaffolded, structured, hierarchical reading experience.

Already using it for both reading and deep research style deep dives, and its already way better than my otherwise broken workflow!


This list is so cool!


This is nice!


This looks exciting! What are the key improvements over the ebooklib python package?


On the surface, one difference seems to be that the former has a CLI.
