SoBrief is the world's largest book summary platform, containing 73,530+ thorough book summaries with audio narration. AI-powered book curation. Supports 40 languages. 100% free to read. No signup is required. Only $4.99/mo for listening.Hello Product Hunt!
I’m Eric, co-founder of Audioread, which won #1 Product of the Day, Week, and Month.
Now, I'm building SoBrief, and we’re on a mission to make knowledge more accessible.
Books have the power to change lives, but we face three key challenges:
- Too Many Books: We have more books than we can read. SoBrief acts like a movie trailer for books—helping you decide which ones are worth your time.
- Retention Struggles: It’s easy to forget what we’ve read. SoBrief provides quick summaries to ensure key takeaways stick with you.
- Language Barriers: Translating books is expensive. SoBrief bridges global knowledge by making books accessible across languages.
Our goal is to make the world smarter by:
- Keeping summaries free to read (like Wikipedia)
- Offering paid features (like audio narration) to sustain the platform
We’ve built SoBrief in just 16 weeks and would love your feedback:
- What resonates most with you?
- Where can we improve?
- How do you see SoBrief evolving?
Thanks for supporting our mission to unlock knowledge for everyone!
P.S. We offer a 50% commission on all referrals and a 25% discount for the Product Hunt community (PH25, expires 11:59 PM PT Sep. 12).
—EricAuthors everywhere be like 😤 (Joke aside, I do summarise everything I read atm. NYT, FT, WSJ. all premium content gets zipped up with a single ChatGPT prompt. "What are the main points in this article")Congrats on your launch @automationist ! The book curations are 100% Ai powered? Do you have any protocols for accuracy checking? Thanks!@lumi_nertan Great questions!
The book curations are 100% Ai powered? Yes! Have you tried it yet? I think it works very well.
Do you have any protocols for accuracy checking? No, honestly just subjective evaluation. Many users seem to check a few books they've already read to see if it's accurate.congrats on the launch Eric, Sobrief looks like blinkist on steroids with a larger spectrum of books, this is awesome 🤗@said_aitmbarek that's exactly what it is! Thanks for the support
