BookWatch — Animated book summaries for visual learners
@miranantamian I really want to thank you for this wonderful product! Is it possible to upload a PDF and access it visually?
@dineshan_sithamparanathan Not yet because creating this kind of videos takes time! But will try to do in the future!
@miranantamian can't agree more on the visual element 👀
there is a reason why adoption of intsta/tiktok can scale so quickly
I think this product is very meaningful. There are many people in the world who have reading disabilities and cannot read normally. To them, the characters in books seem to float in the air. However, access to knowledge is a right that everyone should have. Hats off to the product team 🫡.
@divyansh_tiwari7 You can use the coupon to try the premium for a month by the way!
I love the idea of translating writing across mediums.
That said, the drawings/images feel a little clipart-y and less memorable than human-made illustrations. But I realize it's early!
@rrhoover Yes we are currently improving that too! The newest videos have better drawings!
Congrats, this is a really creative product that combines AI, reading, and video, and it's so interesting that there are free usage credits and coupon codes!
I love the AI-powered personal book expert feature, being able to ask specific questions related to my business or self-improvement is huge! Amzing Launch ('-')
@hamza_afzal_butt Thanks so much! I'm happy you liked that feature, it's my favorite!
BookWatch is a game-changer for visual learners, turning non-fiction bestsellers into engaging animated video summaries. It features an AI-powered book expert for personalized advice, a smart note-taking system for seamless learning, and an AI recommendation engine to tailor book suggestions to your goals. The platform's gamified progress tracking keeps you motivated with badges and learning streaks. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn efficiently and enjoyably!
Everyone says, read more books. But let’s be real… Who is actually sitting down and reading books these days? Audiobooks? Yeah, sure until you wake up two hours later, with no idea what chapter you’re on.
But THIS. You just modernized books in a way that actually makes sense. This is a gem, my friend. Well done!
Very good application to develop your knowledge and very easy to use the application
@dzianis_yatsenka Thanks so much! We will launch more books in the next month because our users ask for more!
Every other day someone pitches me the idea that they would rather watch a book instead now that AI can do it. I always tell them there's an app for that - BookWatch!
@ecomforger Haha thank you!!! Let me know if you have any feedback after some use!
Hey Product Hunters! 👋
I'm Miran Antamian, founder and CEO of BookWatch, and I'm thrilled to introduce BookWatch.com. The first AI-powered Visual Library for learners who hate reading but love growing. 📚✨
After 1.5 years of building, 65,000+ mobile app users, and countless animated summaries, we're launching our New Web App to make learning even more effortless.
🧠 The Problem: Visual Learners Can't Learn from Books in Text or Audio Formats
Did you know that 65% of people identify as visual learners? Yet most book knowledge remains trapped in text format. Many of us want the wisdom of great books but struggle with:
Finding time to read entire books
Maintaining focus through hundreds of pages
Remembering key concepts without visual reinforcement
Traditional reading is slow, boring, and leaves millions of learners behind.
🎬 Our Solution: Learn by Watching, Not Reading
BookWatch uses proprietary AI technology to transform non-fiction bestsellers into animated video summaries that capture the core ideas in a visually engaging format.
✨ What Makes BookWatch Special?
1️⃣ AI-Powered Personal Book Expert
Every video comes with an AI expert that knows everything about that specific book. Ask how to apply concepts to your unique situation: "How can I use these ideas to improve my startup?" or "How would this apply to my leadership role?". Our AI expert will give you specific advice based on the book on how to apply it in your life or business situation.
2️⃣ Smart Note-Taking System
Our one-click note system captures what's being said at that exact moment in the video. No need to pause or get distracted - just click and continue watching! Review and organize your notes later.
3️⃣ AI Book Recommendation Engine
Don't know where to start? Tell our AI what you want to learn ("I want to be a better public speaker" or "I want to be more productive" or "I want to learn b2b sales"), and it'll recommend the perfect books from our library.
4️⃣ Progress Tracking & Gamification
Stay motivated with achievement badges, learning streaks, and a visual representation of your growing knowledge base. See how many days have you been learning and which books helped you more.
