Show HN: AI to write nonfiction books tailored for youhttps://tailoredread.comHey HN,As an avid reader, I read many nonfiction books every year. While enjoyable, I find that nonfiction books usually contain a lot of information that is not relevant or helpful for me.That's why I decided to build TailoredRead (https://tailoredread.com/). It’s a tool that uses AI to write full-length books that are tailored specifically to the reader.Here’s how it works:1.

Here I found that Claude 3.5 Sonnet produces significantly better output than GPT 4o and other models, but it still requires a lot of prompting and breaking down the Nov 6, 2024 3:42 PM
