SpineDigest is an open-source tool on GitHub that distills entire books into structured key content, allowing you to determine what to retain based on your reading objectives. Its processing methodology is particularly interesting: it first leverages AI to extract key knowledge points chapter by chapter, then uses algorithms to construct a knowledge graph that links related concepts. Finally, it employs multiple AI personas in an 'adversarial debate' style to generate the final summary, ensuring no important content is overlooked. GitHub: http://github.com/oomol-lab/spinedigest… It supports EPUB, Markdown, and plain text inputs. In addition to textual summaries, the output includes chapter topology maps and knowledge graphs, providing a clear overview of the entire book's structure at a glance. It also comes with a free visual reader, Inkora, which allows you to explore chapter relationships and the knowledge graph. If you want to quickly transform a thick book into structured notes for review, this tool is definitely worth trying.
