Your reading list, one digestible book each day

Give the assistant a reading list and every morning it delivers a short, sharp digest of the next book on it: the gist, the core point, and the takeaways worth keeping. You get through a whole list without carving out the hours.

What it does

• Works through your reading list in order, one book per day.
• Delivers a tight daily digest: a few-sentence synopsis, the core thesis in a line or two, and a handful of key takeaways.
• Keeps it short and useful, closer to an intelligence briefing than a book report. A couple of minutes to read, not twenty.
• Ties each book back to what matters to you, so it is not abstract history but something you can actually use.
• Keeps its place, so tomorrow it picks up at the next book automatically.

The reveal

You hand over a list of books you have been meaning to read for years. The next morning, the first one arrives distilled to its essence in three minutes of reading. A month later you have the working knowledge of thirty books, and you never blocked out a single evening for it.

What it doesn’t do

It does not replace reading a book you truly want to sit with. A digest is a map, not the territory. For the handful of books that deserve the full hours, read them properly. This is for getting through the rest.

Configuration

• The list: give the assistant your reading list, in whatever order you want to go through it.
• Where it lands: in this chat by default. Connect an email account in Settings if you would rather it arrive in your inbox.
• When it lands: the morning time that suits you.

Triggers

Runs every morning on your chosen schedule, moving one book down the list each day until the list is done.
