(01)What the AI does
Recommendations that show their working.
- 01
A weekly pick, with the reason
Once a week Readlink chooses a book based on your finished shelf and writes why it thinks you'll like it. If the reasoning is off, you'll spot it immediately and can tap Not for me.
- 02
Shelf matching
Your library is compared with other readers and with more than 300 curated libraries. You get a match score, the books you share, and the ones they read that you haven't.
- 03
Ask about this book
Stuck on a chapter or an argument? Premium readers can ask questions about the book they're reading from its page in the app.
- 04
Your files stay put
Add a PDF of a book you own and read it in the app. The file lives on your phone and is never uploaded.
(02)In practice
Readlink keeps a record of every book you read, then uses what you actually finished to choose the next one. Each pick arrives with a short, plain reason. It also compares your shelf with other readers and with curated libraries of founders, writers and scientists, so you can see who reads like you and what they read next.
