Stop collecting highlights.
Start thinking with them.
You've read hundreds of books. Highlighted thousands of passages. But when you need that insight about leadership, or that quote about creativity—it's buried. BetterReads connects the dots across your entire reading life.

The problem with how we read
You read to learn, to grow, to think better. But most of what you read disappears.
Books pile up, unconnected
You've bought 500 books on Amazon. Goodreads has maybe 100. Your Kindle highlights are scattered across devices. Nothing talks to each other.
Highlights go to die
You highlight brilliant passages in the moment. Then they sit in a notebook you never open. The insight that could change your thinking—forgotten.
No one connects the dots
That book on habits echoes that book on neuroscience. The biography confirms the philosophy. But you have to hold it all in your head. Until now.
"What do my books say about this?"
Collections Chat lets you have a conversation across your entire library. Ask a question, and BetterReads synthesizes insights from every book you've read—citing your own highlights.
"What patterns do I keep highlighting about decision-making?"
Across 12 books, you've highlighted 47 passages about decision-making. Three themes emerge:
- 1.Reversible vs irreversible — from "Thinking in Bets" and "The Psychology of Money"
- 2.Pre-mortems over post-mortems — from "Superforecasting" and your notes on "Principles"
- 3.The role of identity — from "Atomic Habits" and "Mindset"
Every insight cites back to your actual highlights. No hallucinations. Just your reading, synthesized.
