It made sense to me that if I tried to live by the way things really are with the deepest truth of reality, that could be my higher power, and it worked. So in a very real sense, the Tao Te Ching saved my life.

This is the most creative and interesting book-related AI tech I've seen so far, and I'm happy to see big-name authors leading by example with their openness to exploring generative uses of this technology.

I am suddenly seeing what I was missing, marveling at the explosive possibility of interacting in these discussions. I didn't realize how organic the interactions can be. I only had to make one comment, read the response and then follow up, and all of a sudden I was learning unexpected things.

I've been reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra on Rebind, and it's magical. It's suddenly difficult to imagine reading without having this ongoing discussion where I can ask a hundred questions.

There are a collection of books that are a little intimidating because I never approached them or spent time with them. Having this guided experienced with great context through video and an AI personality to chat with really helps with that.

Rebind Reader

I felt like this was the best parts of a literature course, where you get the knowledge of someone who has really studied the text without the drain of having to write a paper at the end. For me, this is really kind of perfect.

Rebind’s use of AI to honor and preserve classic literature —and facilitate our appreciation of reading these quintessential texts with personalized analysis—seems like a worthwhile exploration.
