Congrats on the launch, cool idea and something I could see myself using.

Tangental question: why is it that these AI generated websites all have a similar UI?

I believed they were primarily trained on Tailwind CSS templates. The Mothership that spawned all of them is at https://tailwindcss.com/plus

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support :DD Yea the website admittedly does look AI generated and not so unique. Will have to change in the next update! Now just in beta stage.

I wonder how this would work if fed the combined histories of the acts and life of Thomas Ripley. Highly educational I should hope.

This is just waiting to receive a cease and desist from publishers.

Fair concern. Book2Course doesn’t redistribute textbooks or make them public — users upload material they already have access to, and the output is for private study, similar to notes or summaries. That said, I’m being careful about this and staying within fair use boundaries.

I’m curious about how it works.Is there any Skill that I can read?

How it works: ( because why not )

User uploads book: Book is scanned by AI and undergoes step by step processing, each step has an API call. Result is the course.

This is the simplified version of the pipeline

and looks like it is gone …
