Not a book summary. A playbook for your situation.

Most reading gives you takeaways. This gives you moves. Hand the assistant a book, a long article, a transcript, or a historical case, plus the specific problem you’re up against, and it reads the whole thing through that single lens and hands back what to actually do.

What it does

• Takes a source (book, article, transcript, case study) and a concrete problem you describe in plain language.
• Reads with your problem in mind, triaging each section by how much it bears on your situation and going deep where it matters.
• Maps the source’s core dynamic onto your situation: what worked, what failed, what your counterpart is likely to do.
• Pulls out the moves: what to do, what to avoid, what to watch for, each tied to specific evidence in the text.
• Hands back an applied playbook split into short, medium, and long term, with the most cutting quotes attached.

The reveal

You’re heading into a negotiation you’re not sure how to win. You give the assistant a history of exactly this kind of power struggle and a paragraph on your situation. What comes back isn’t “this book is about leverage.” It’s: do this before the meeting, expect them to try this, and here’s the passage that tells you why the bluff they’ll run has always eventually failed.

What it doesn’t do

• It isn’t a summary tool. If you want the gist of a book for its own sake, this is the wrong lens.
• It won’t hand you generic advice. Every recommendation cites the place in the source it came from.
• It doesn’t do literary analysis. Nobody here cares about the prose, only about what you can use.

Configuration

• The source: upload the book, article, transcript, or case, or point to one you’ve dropped in.
• The problem: describe the situation you want the source read against, in plain language.
• Horizon: how much to weight this week’s moves versus the long game.

Triggers

On-demand. You bring a source and a problem, and the reading runs in the background.
