Show HN: Chapter-level summaries of bestselling books using LLMs
Most book summaries on the internet are not detailed enough. In this project, I've tried to create detailed chapter-level summaries that retain a greater level of detail and vocabulary of the original. The aspiration is for these summaries to be a credible alternative to reading the books themselves.

- sturza 3y agoHi, i’m doing something similar but rewriting books with 40-60% reduction. We should talk.
- unraveller 3y agoIt's great, i can see what you mean with the attention to detail/vocab but those parts can be kind of dated and fluffy. I found it much easier to read your summaries after a little push with audio setting some high level more general context. https://playtext.app/books/zero-to-one https://playtext.app/books/zero-to-one I bet podcasters would love to have these summaries at hand.
- cosmicg 3y agothank you for sharing your thoughts! playtext looks interesting!
