so i have been copying and pasting parts of books into chapgpt. works pretty well, but wanted something a little sleeker, so i built this as a little personal project for my own use, but maybe other people will find it useful. i mostly use it to read philosophy, science books.
took me damn long time to get the prompting / rag right, but in the end it's pretty simple: upload a book (epub, pdf whatever) and i create a bunch of semantic embeddings / do a deep analysis of the book. i use rag architecture to power the features, for example:
contextually aware dictionary — get definitions of words in the context of the book. e.g. highlight "power" in a nietzsche book and get his definition of power. this also will (in a few days) work for characters / places in sci fi books, with no spoilers at all
persona chat — talk directly with the "author" of the book. i'm working on building this out for fiction where you can chat with a single character as you go through the book.
generated chat notes — generate notes from your chats, export them to your favorite note app.
it's called flow e-reader or as i like to say: flower eater. give it a go — would love some beta test feedback. or roast it, all i ask for is honesty fam
