Turn Your Reading into Action.

ReadAct is an AI-powered platform that transforms EPUB books into personalized, actionable roadmaps. Here's how it works:

1. Upload Your Book: Upload any EPUB file from your library

2. Ask Your Question: Tell us your specific goal or problem you want to solve

3. AI Analysis: Our AI extracts the book's methodology and matches it to your needs

4. Get Your Playbook: Receive a customized step-by-step action plan (5-15 quests)

5. Take Action: Complete each quest and track your progress

The AI adapts each next quest based on your previous answers, making your journey truly personalized.

The processing time varies based on the book's length and complexity:

• Chapter Classification (Stage 1): ~25-30 seconds

• Methodology Extraction (Stage 2): ~2-3 minutes

• Quest Generation (Stage 3): ~1-3 minutes

Total: Approximately 3-8 minutes for a typical non-fiction book with 10-15 chapters.

Thanks to our optimized parallel processing, we've achieved significant performance improvements! You can track the progress in real-time with our loading screen showing each stage's completion status.

Absolutely! Your privacy is our top priority:

• All your books and playbooks are stored locally in your browser's storage (localStorage)

• Your data never leaves your device - we don't store any books or personal information on our servers

• Only the text content is sent to AI models for analysis (via OpenRouter API)

• You have full control over your data - it's stored only on your device

This means your reading history and personal goals remain completely private.

YES! This is extremely important to understand:

• 🚨 DO NOT clear your browser cache/cookies - you will lose ALL your playbooks and progress permanently

• 🚨 DO NOT use Incognito/Private browsing mode - your data will be deleted when you close the browser

• ✅ Use the same browser and device to access your playbooks

• ✅ Export your progress reports regularly as backup (available after completing quests)

Your data is stored in your browser's localStorage, which gets deleted when you clear browser data. There is NO way to recover it once deleted.

ReadAct works best with non-fiction books that contain practical methodologies, frameworks, or actionable advice:

✓ Self-help and personal development (e.g., "Atomic Habits", "Designing Your Life")

✓ Business and productivity (e.g., "Getting Things Done", "The Lean Startup")

✓ Career and skill development

✓ Health and wellness guides

✓ Financial planning and investment strategies

Books with clear step-by-step processes, frameworks, or actionable exercises produce the best results. Fiction novels or purely theoretical academic texts may not generate optimal playbooks.

ReadAct's smart adaptation system personalizes your journey as you progress:

• After completing each quest, you provide answers and reflections

• The AI analyzes your responses to understand your progress and context

• The next quest is automatically refined to match your situation

• Action steps become more relevant based on what you've already done

• The overall roadmap structure stays the same, but the details adapt to you

This ensures every quest feels personally relevant and builds naturally on your previous work.

ReadAct uses different AI models optimized for each stage:

• Stage 1 (Chapter Classification): Google Gemini 2.5 Flash - Fast processing with excellent language understanding

• Stage 2 (Methodology Extraction): Google Gemini 2.5 Flash + Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.5 - Deep analysis and synthesis

• Stage 3 (Quest Planning): OpenAI O3 - Advanced reasoning for optimal pathfinding

• Quest Updates: GPT-4o-mini - Fast, cost-effective personalization

This multi-model approach ensures you get the best quality while maintaining reasonable processing times.

If the generated playbook doesn't match your expectations:

• You can create a new playbook with a more specific or rephrased question

• Try to be as specific as possible about your goal, current situation, and desired outcome

• Include context about what aspect of the book you want to focus on

Example: Instead of 'How do I be more productive?', try 'I'm a software engineer struggling with task prioritization. How can I apply this book's methods to manage my daily workload better?'

The more context you provide, the better the AI can tailor the playbook to your needs.

ReadAct includes built-in progress tracking:

• Each quest has a completion checkbox

• You provide reflections and answers for each completed quest

• The playbook overview shows your overall progress percentage

• You can revisit completed quests anytime

• A progress report is generated when you complete the playbook

Your progress is automatically saved locally, so you can pick up where you left off anytime.

If you experience any issues:

1. Check your internet connection - AI processing requires internet access

2. Verify your EPUB file isn't corrupted by trying to open it in an e-reader

3. Try refreshing the page and uploading again

4. Clear your browser cache if you experience loading issues

5. Make sure you're using a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge)

If problems persist, please report the issue on our GitHub page with details about the error message and the book you were processing.
