    This is very interesting — what's an example query and metadata update you've made? Now I'm thinking if I would do this.

    This is interesting. Do you mean this is like chat with your book, or these are books you've already finished reading which you have a query over to ask? And does it search raw boo…

    Show HN: A visual AI interface to understand topics/books/papers with LLMs

    LLMs make us feel like we can learn anything, but chat is just one primitive. I'm trying to build interfaces which let us cover a topic our sources at length with AI. These interfa…
