I arrived at this by piecing together LLM-based workflows for reading until I decided to build a dedicated tool. Feedback welcome. As someone who is always on a hunt for LLM-enhanced reading workflows, I love this tool! I like the select text and add to chat feature and TTS mode features. thank you! would love to hear more about how you use proread! I think the spaces are very interesting. I will use it for my weekly dose of arxiv paper reading. thanks for sharing, just converted a research paper into this format. Makes it so much more consumable Love the mindmaps!
