AI reading companion
Not a summarizer.
A thinking companion.
Most AI reading tools give you shortcuts. Avid does the opposite — it helps you go deeper, think harder, and understand more than you would alone.

What makes a true reading companion
Full book understanding
Avid doesn't just read your highlights. It understands the entire text, so it can discuss any passage, theme, or argument — even the parts you didn't highlight.
Thinking questions, not trivia
Avid asks questions designed to deepen your understanding — not quiz you on plot points. It challenges your interpretations, suggests alternative readings, and draws out implications you might miss.
Persistent memory
Every conversation builds on the last. Avid remembers what you've discussed across every book, every session. Your 50th conversation is richer than your first because it has context.
