I love reading but lack good guided support

I’ve been exploring a better method for building out my TBR list. There’s always “recommended reading” provided by Kindle, Audible, etc., but I don’t find those super helpful..
I’m working on a tool to take something like GoodReads (maintaining a library) and add in personalized recommendations for the reader to continuing down that path, discover something brand new, or to challenge my perspective (based on my previously read). Everyone falls victim to affirmation bias to some degree, so I’m looking for something to help be intentional about exploring opposing ideas and material.
Anyone else interested in this? Similar problems, gaps, ideas, etc?

I'd recommend trying BrainyAI - it's an AI reading assistant that analyzes texts to deeply understand their meaning and perspective. It can highlight key insights, summarize main ideas, and help you explore different viewpoints while reading. I've found it super helpful for getting more out of books and articles.

Have you tried Readwise? It's an awesome tool that helps you build a personal knowledge base from your reading highlights. You can tag and organize your highlights, get resurfaced content, and even chat with an AI about your reading insights to deepen your understanding. Highly recommend checking it out for more guided and intentional reading!
That sounds amazing! I’d love a tool like that to explore new perspectives intentionally.
@feliciana_liu that's great! Would a first version that included just ability to enter a single book and get results based on that be useful?
