iChatbook
iChatbook is a book library platform where you browse pre-indexed titles, read AI summaries at four depth levels, and chat with individual books or across your whole reading list. The catalog covers thousands of published works with no PDF uploads required for library titles.
Beyond passive summaries, iChatbook adds active recall quizzes, fill-in-the-blank tests, and spaced repetition to help you retain what you read. Cross-book chat lets you ask one question and pull answers from multiple authors, surfacing agreements and contradictions across sources.
An authoring workspace called Originals turns voice memos, slide decks, and essays into publishable books. You get three-voice draft generation, inline citations pulled from the library, and reader pages you can publish and sell. Plans split between free exploration, a $25/month Pro Reader tier, team seats, and a separate Originals subscription for writers.
