Read More Deeply with AI
AI supports each stage of "choose a book → progress → record." It's a way to enrich the reading experience, not to replace reading.
Choosing
5 books matching [interest, purpose, reading level], ordered intro → advanced. One line each on "what you learn" and "who it's for."
Progressing
- Preview key points per chapter and read with expectations
- Have hard parts rephrased "so a middle-schooler understands"
- After reading, have AI mark up "your own-words summary"
Recording and Retention
- After finishing, dialogue with AI to dig into 3 memorable points
- Think together about "how to apply it to your work/life"
- Have AI create a reading-note format and make it a habit
Caution
Feeling like you've "read" by only having AI summarize doesn't build your thinking muscle. AI is a companion; you do the reading. AI can err on plot accuracy too, so confirm key points in the text. The next chapter covers reading-specific tools.
