Show HN: Book Grounded AI Learning

[techypicky]

I constantly ask Gemini/ChatGPT/Claude about books on a certain topic, then ask the llm to give me a summary of the book its chapters - this helps me: 1. keep the llm grounded as a real expert (instead of saying pretend to be an engineering expert, give it a distributed systems book and then ask opinions on it) 2. helps me discover and buy books! Once i go through book concepts and chat with llm about it, i'm more convinced to buy it and dig deeper on low level on it

So i built an app through Replit on it, try it on

this is pretty cool. When i look for books, I rely a lot on what other people say about the book as well if I'm trying to learn something. Might be useful to have some reviews of the books too.

Agreed! Best books Ive ever read were recommendations by friends or pros in the field. The first principles way for search works too! Since going through the book on high level is less time consuming

Will see if i can get some reviews or links into this
