About Us

Reimagining the way we capture, retain, and apply knowledge.

Our Mission

OpenBook is an AI-powered reading platform that manages your library, so you don't have to. We help busy readers unlock knowledge, prioritize important content, summarize books and articles, complete reading goals, and even chat with their reading material.

Our goal is to let you spend less time managing books and more time gaining insights and knowledge.

Why We Started

Reading hasn't meaningfully evolved in decades. Despite countless new apps, none actually solve the real problem: helping you finish what you intend to read and extract valuable insights.

We realized the real solution isn't just a new interface — it's AI acting like a true assistant inside your reading experience.

Built in the Open

OpenBook is built on the principles of transparency and community collaboration. Our entire codebase is open source.
