   Thanks for your comment. I can see how it could be used successfully for those types of books.

   Thank you very much for your thought-provoking comments. I actually sympathize with you very much. As you say, there is a non-zero chance that this app will contribute to a lack of concentration, but I cannot dismiss the possibility that th

   Thanks for your comment! > Do you think it is possible to make it phone friendly and easy to install? Yes, it is possible. The app supports PWA (Progressive Web Application) and responsive design, so it can be used on mobile by deploying

   Thank you for your comment. As others have pointed out, there is a non-zero chance that it may lead to a decrease in concentration, but the reverse may also be true. I think it would be better to actually try it and see if it fits your skin

   I think all your points are spot on. Especially “You can't just define something as a problem merely to help you sell a solution.” is really spot on. It made me pause. I think it's fair to say that we created this product to test

   Thanks for the feedback! > That said, I do understand (and share) a lot of the frustration and hesitancy that people here have around AI tools I share some of the same feelings as well. As for use cases where it can provide value, I thin

    Thank you for sharing the information/comments. The extensions you have presented are indeed great, but they seem to lack features such as full text search, page count progress tracking, text highlighting, notes, etc. Also, regarding R

    "Too much thought into whether they could, and not enough thought on whether they should" This is so true. I can't even begin to fathom the implications of this. A large aspect of the creation of this app was motivated by my

    Since my native language is not English, I use LLM as a translation tool. I am sorry if I have made you feel that the text is inorganic.

    Thank you for your empathy. I think it's a great idea to pre-generate concepts and prerequisites that readers might get stuck on.

    Thank you for your valuable input. As you say, generating a table of contents and summary alone will not be of value. Interacting with the LLM may be helpful when reading documents that are not easily understood, such as difficult technical

    English is not my first language and I am unfamiliar with it, so I use LLM as a translation tool. I apologize if I have caused any discomfort.

    Thanks for the fantastic feedback! That 'wtf?' moment you described is exactly the kind of problem I was hoping to tackle with BookWith. You raise a really important point about the risk of lessening the reading experience. That&#

    Thank you for the sharp feedback. Because we've been mainly targeting business and technical books, the spoiler-prevention feature is not yet implemented. However, to make novels and other narratives comfortable to read in the future,

    That's fantastic to hear, thank you! It's always validating to know that others have been thinking along the same lines. I'd love to hear your thoughts once you've had a chance to try it out. All feedback is welcome!

    You're right to call that out, that's a fair point. "Fully understands" is indeed a bit of an overstatement for the current state of AI. What I meant from a technical perspective is that the system uses a Retrieval-Augme
