Some news: I’m joining OpenAI to lead product management for Core Products!
I have a lot of respect for OpenAI for showing the world that scaling works, for bringing AI to over a billion people, and for believing great products are core to the mission.
I’m excited to work with @thsottiaux, an incredible PM team, and everyone across OpenAI. Together, we’ll build agents that have your back and your team’s, and keep you in control, so you get more time for the people and work you love.
Lots to learn, and lots to build. Please keep your feedback coming!
One thing that always annoyed me about reading with AI was having to copy a paragraph, switch to ChatGPT, ask my question, and then find my way back to the book.
So we built paragraph-level AI chat right into Yedoo.
The goal is simple: stay in the book, even when you're asking questions.
Ever wanted to ask a question while reading without losing your flow?
With Yedoo, just highlight a paragraph and ask away.
AI understands what you're reading, including context from recent pages.
No copy-pasting. No switching apps. Just keep reading.

One reason we are building Yedoo is that I never seem to have enough time to sit down and read.
But I do have time while cooking, walking, or doing everyday stuff.
I want books to fit into my life, not the other way around.
Your reading time shouldn't end when you put your phone down.
Reading on the couch? 📖
Cooking dinner? 🎧
Out for a walk? 🚶
With Yedoo, you can switch between reading and listening to your ebooks.
Same book. More ways to enjoy it.

One of my favorite things we've built at Yedoo.
I always wanted to keep reading while driving, cooking, or just going for a walk. Now I can turn pretty much any ebook into an audiobook, and the voices sound surprisingly human.
It's a small thing, but it changes how I read.
Ever wished you could listen to any book you own?
With Yedoo, you can turn virtually any EPUB or PDF into an audiobook — with natural, human-like voices that actually sound good.
Read when you can. Listen when you can't.
Your books, your way.

Something I've been working on for a while.
Yedoo is finally live! 🎉
Built it because I wanted a better way to read, listen to, and interact with my books.
Still early days. Would love your feedback!
Yedoo is now officially live!
After testing it with 200+ real users, we've fixed a bunch of bugs and polished quite a few things along the way.
Would love for you to give it a try and let me know what you think.
Good or bad, all feedback is welcome!

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

Because we are beyond happy to have Astra rolled out today ahead of schedule and you have been super patient with us (not really, but it’s ok!)… we will do the full banked reset today too for all Plus, Pro and Business users. Lands end of day.
Happy Astra day and enjoy a phenomenal weekend.
PS: If you create the account or upgrade before 8pm PT you will get it too. Still time!
