Short answer: EasyReadAI Insights looks at highlights and annotations you already saved from different books, then surfaces possible connections as review cards. Keep one with a swipe, discard it with the other, undo the last card, or open the source note to check the context. It helps you notice a lead; it does not declare a conclusion for you.
If you are searching for “connect reading notes across books,” “find connections between book notes,” or a way to compare ideas from several books, think of Insights as a bounded review pass. It puts scattered material in front of you before you decide what belongs together.
What Insights does
- Reads saved excerpts and annotations from more than one book.
- Creates cards with possible relationships instead of compressing a whole book into a summary.
- Lets you keep, discard, or undo the previous card.
- Opens the original note so you can check the title, excerpt, and your own comment before keeping the connection.
Kept insights stay in a review list that you can search and organize later. You do not have to build a tag system or knowledge graph first.
Where the notes can come from
Insights needs notes with usable text. You can mix:
- Highlights captured while reading an ebook
- Text copied and pasted from another reader
- Text checked after photographing a paper page
- Excerpts and annotations you typed yourself
Different sources can appear in the same review pass, but check the book title and text when saving a note.
Local and multilingual models
Insights offers an on-device model and an advanced model. The first on-device use downloads its resources; after that, processing can happen on the device. Available languages, models, and network behavior follow the settings in the current app version.
When this review is useful
- Compare recurring ideas across books on a related theme
- Gather original passages before writing an article or discussion
- Revisit questions you left in several books months ago
- See candidates first instead of maintaining a complex tagging system
What it does not promise
Insights is not an automatic knowledge graph, whole-book summary, fact checker, or spaced-repetition schedule. A model suggestion is possibly related, not a proven causal claim. Quality depends on the length of the excerpt, the book title, and the context in your note. Opening the source note before keeping a card is the useful safeguard.
From one connection back to daily review
After keeping a useful relationship, put the source excerpt in the iPhone reading highlights widget so it can return to your Home Screen. You can also search, filter by book, or export CSV and PNG cards.
