Reading Digest

Works through your reading list one book at a time, on demand or on a verified schedule, with a short digest of each book's gist, core thesis, and key takeaways.

Your reading list, one digestible book each day

Give the assistant a reading list and on each run 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 run.
  • 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 the next run picks up at the next book.

The reveal

You hand over a list of books you have been meaning to read for years. On the first run, the first book is distilled to its essence in three minutes of reading. After thirty runs you have concise briefs on 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

Start on demand. Recurring work is available only after your assistant verifies a scheduler, future tool access, saved progress, and a delivery destination. Otherwise each run waits for your request; connecting an account alone does not turn it on.

  • The list: give the assistant your reading list, in whatever order you want to go through it.
  • Where it lands: here for an on-demand run, or at a verified future delivery destination such as an authorized email account.
  • When it lands: the morning time that suits you.

Triggers

Runs on demand or every morning on a verified schedule, advancing one book per confirmed delivery until the list is done.
