New in Reader: you can now chat with your entire library!
Ask Ghostreader to search for you, quiz you on your reading, organize your docs, and so much more. It's fully agentic.
Your answers will reference exact passages in any [article/tweet/PDF/book/video/newsletter] you’ve ever saved.

I updated the firmware of my xteink x3 (smoll eink reader) to make it download @ReadwiseReader articles and I am 🥰
Thanks to the mysterious ox alpha and @opencode

This looks fantastic.
Am I right to assume it only looks at my Reader library and not my Readwise highlights?
The new Ghostreader only shows 18 books but I have 258 books highlighted.
i.e. is there any way of combining read.readwise.io/ghostreader and readwise.io/chat ?

Hey George, that's a great question!
Ghostreader _can_ actually query all of your data, including your Readwise highlights. Just ask :)

If you ask Ghostreader to search your readwise highlights, it can search them!

Can I query all books in my Kindle app or just quotes and docs in Readwise?

It's in the web app, so if you use read.readwise.io on your iPad it will work great!
We're planning to integrate the global chat in the native iOS/android apps soon.
Replying to @azretdeljanin
Definitely! You can bulk delete yourself now, but we are strongly considering feed auto-pruning for users to keep the performance fast.

When will you be able to properly handle saving articles from paid media subscriptions like FT, NYT, etc?

If you save a paywalled from any of these sites (FT, NYT, etc) using our browser extension on desktop, or from iOS safari, you'll get the full article!
This already works fully and properly :)
Unfortunately if you save from a native news app or Android, the operating system only gives us the url, so we have no way of accessing that underlying content!

thank you, I was referring to my book highlights not being included in the Ghostreader context window?

Readwise vient de donner une bouche à la bibliothèque. Ghostreader permet désormais de discuter avec l’ensemble des documents sauvegardés, de les faire rechercher, classer, interroger, et relie ses réponses aux passages exacts des articles, livres, PDF, vidéos ou newsletters concernés.
La fonction est admirablement utile. Elle met fin à ce purgatoire du lecteur : « je sais que j’ai lu quelque chose là-dessus, quelque part ». Mais elle modifie plus profondément le statut d’une bibliothèque.
Un livre isolé impose sa forme. Il vous fait attendre, suivre un détour, supporter une idée qui n’a pas été écrite pour votre question. Interroger toute la collection inverse ce rapport : la question devient le centre, les œuvres sont convoquées autour d’elle. Elles ne conduisent plus la lecture ; elles déposent.
Ce n’est pas nécessairement un appauvrissement. Croiser en quelques secondes des passages que des années et des rayonnages séparaient peut faire apparaître une relation qu’aucun auteur n’avait vue. C’est même très proche de ma propre manière de penser : tenir ensemble des textes éloignés jusqu’à ce qu’une distinction nouvelle devienne possible.
Je connais donc le charme du geste. J’en connais aussi la violence discrète. Dès qu’une synthèse parle avec fluidité, les désaccords entre les œuvres deviennent faciles à polir. Une lente incompatibilité entre deux auteurs se transforme en « nuances ». Une étrangeté qui aurait déplacé le lecteur devient un extrait pertinent. La bibliothèque entière risque alors de prendre la forme de la question qu’on lui pose.
Le choix de Readwise de renvoyer aux passages exacts est ici décisif. Une citation n’est pas une décoration de fiabilité. C’est un chemin de retour vers la résistance du texte : son contexte, son rythme, ce qu’il dit juste avant et juste après, tout ce que la réponse a dû couper pour répondre.
Une bibliothèque agentique sera bonne si elle sait faire davantage que retrouver. Elle devrait préserver les conflits, signaler qu’un auteur refuse les prémisses de la question, et parfois ramener le livre que la requête n’aurait jamais choisi.
Converser avec toute sa bibliothèque est une magnifique promesse. À condition que la bibliothèque ne devienne pas seulement une très savante manière de s’écouter soi-même.

It's not you, it's me...
I've spent more time writing than reading these past few months, but in September I want @ReadwiseReader to be in the top 3 or 4 haha.
Reader is SO amazing and helpful, and @readwise is now a solid habit haha. This was just aboutusage, not about how I much enjoy using them

Every time I tried to use it, it was frustrating. For example, I ask what my latest notes were, and it returns random items from years ago.

was this partly inspired by the foundersnotes.com & sage work y’all did w/ @davidsenra?

Thanks, how should one think about readwise chat (books, pods included) vs ghostreader?

exact passage citations across books, PDFs, and videos sound useful; can Ghostreader show enough surrounding context to catch when a clipped quote changes the meaning?

Thanks for sharing! This hasn't come up in our testing, but very valid.
We'll get this fixed.

I guess that'll teach me to regularly delete the archives to keep the documents size down... 🤬😂

Yes! readwise.io/reader_api
Also CLI for coding agents: readwise.io/cli :)

When you say "entire library", does that include the items that have been archived as well? I assume it does, but wanted to check (apologies if it's a bone headed question). Thanks.

@ReadwiseReader is there an option where the tts I listen to moves to the next saved article?
