Creative Reading: Scaffolding Reading for Transformation
However, recent work on augmenting reading largely focuses on making reading more efficient, especially in knowledge-intensive contexts where people must rapidly make sense of research papers and other complex documents (Lo et al., 2024). These systems often aim to help readers skim, summarize, and synthesize large volumes of information in order to reduce cognitive effort and accelerate document- and corpus-level sensemaking at scale (Gu et al., 2025; Lo et al., 2024; Fok et al., 2023). At one extreme, the form of reading implicitly envisioned by these systems may resemble what we call “reading to discard”: extracting the essential, actionable informational core of a document as quickly and efficiently as possible, so that the rest can be swiftly tossed aside—much like we often process inbound mail. This motivates us to ask what scaffolding approaches might resist “reading to discard,” what alternative forms of reading we might scaffold, and what alternative views and values of reading might guide the conversation.

Walkthrough guides can be really boring so we've laced ours with spicy memes to keep those dopamine receptors firing while while we subliminally teach you the basics of our reading software. We hope you don't mind a little fun.
AI Focus
NotebookLM is one of my favorite applications in decades. If you haven’t experienced it before, it’s an application that lets you pull in sources from all around - Google Drive, PDFs, public links - collate them into a notebook, and then query or transform that content. Want to turn five research papers into a podcast? Done. Need to extract key takeaways from a collection of articles? Easy. It’s a fundamentally different way of interacting with information that wasn’t possible before large language models.
