A reading companion that thinks with you.

[Avid - Reading Companion @AvidChat]

ChatGPT gives you the answer. Avid asks what YOU think.

Introducing Avid: a reading companion that thinks with you. Bring in every highlight you’ve kept, and it connects a novel you finished in September to the book you read last week, then asks what you make of it.

Built for the books that stay with you.

Dostoevsky refuted Ayn Rand's arguments on "objectivism" before she was born. He published the argument in 1864.

She built the philosophy anyway in 1957. And she knew her enemy: Rand called Dostoevsky one of the two greatest novelists who ever lived.

I don’t know how but we (@AvidChat) seem to have entered the top 50 book apps in my region’s App Store.

Set time for 45 minutes and went in for over an hour, this is the motivation I needed to get out of my reading slump, 45 timed minutes a day.

And now back to Dostoyevsky, I am so curious as to when Raskolnikov comes to the realization that there is no justification for his act

[zakolyn. @zako_lyn]

New update from @AvidChat and this might be my favorite one yet, I can now time myself as I read according to how much time I have. That “at least 40 minutes a day” is made so much easier now! Thank you avid.

@belcerebon0 @zako_lyn Hey Marvin, currently exclusive on iOS.
We're working hard to ensure the user experience on iOS is stellar before expanding to Android.

[Avid - Reading Companion @AvidChat]

So glad the sitting's working for you! More refinements coming soon; we want those forty minutes to do more than pass, we want what you read in them to stay with you.

Now pushed to the App Store.

Your reading/thinking on Avid gives you art works as stamps. From your first conversation, books you've added, wrap-ups, consecutive usage, etc.

@tearsandguile This is really good! Well done!

'Shakespeare knew precisely how to use and transform Chaucer and Marlowe, but no one, not even Milton or Freud, has known precisely how to use Shakespeare rather than be used by him, or how to transform anything so large and universal into something altogether one's own.'

Happy book lovers day.📚🧡

Wrap-ups are now shareable.

You have conversations with Avid about your books. When you wrap up, it creates, documents, and connects your insights.

Now, they emerge as cards you can share.

Not a quote from the author. The thought you had.

Keep thinking. #booktwt

@Pahulpreet42407 @Dostoevskyquot I find it mental how underrated Demons is when Dostoevsky’s body of work is discussed.

[Avid - Reading Companion @AvidChat]

One thing Dostoevsky does better than most is the subtlety with which his narrators betray and describes themselves.

What did he do to make our narrator that mad?

Socrates refused to write anything down. He thought books would make us stupid.

We only have the warning because his student ignored him and wrote it down.

In 1915 a Ghanaian lawyer wrote "The Blinkards," a comedy about neighbours who came home from London laughing at their own food, their own clothes, their own language.

Twelve years earlier and an ocean away, W.E.B. Du Bois had already written down what that does to a person.
