How Readwise's Two New Features Transform How Busy Professionals Process Information

• We consume tons of content—books, articles, podcasts. But most of it disappears into the void.
• We highlight key insights, but without a system, those highlights sit unused.
• Now, Readwise makes them actionable.

Shallow Thinking is your rapid-response system for capturing and retrieving insights quickly.

It works in 2 worlds:

📌 Inner World – Your own ideas, notes, and reflections.

📌 Outer World – Knowledge from books, articles, podcasts.

For years, we captured highlights but struggled to resurface them meaningfully.

Enter:

💬 Chat with your highlights – Ask AI about your own knowledge.

🔗 Other relevant highlights – Automatic, intelligent connections.

• Most AI tools give generic answers.
• Readwise’s AI works exclusively on your personal knowledge base—your curated highlights.
• This isn’t ChatGPT guessing—it’s an AI that understands your reading, thinking, and learning.

Imagine an AI that has read everything you've ever highlighted and can instantly connect the dots.

Now, instead of passively reviewing notes, you can ask:

🧐 “What are my key insights on leadership?”

📖 “What did I highlight about decision-making?”

 Before, making highlights useful required:

❌ Manual tagging

❌ Complex PKM connections

❌ Endless scrolling to find insights

Now, AI does the heavy lifting.

Just capture, and the system resurfaces what's relevant when needed.

Think of it as AI-powered backlinks.

You're reading a highlight on Deep Work…

💡 Suddenly, Readwise surfaces a related highlight from a book you read 3 years ago.

Connections you never noticed—revealed instantly.

 Now, you can:

✅ Capture more freely—knowing AI will resurface what matters.

✅ Discover hidden connections without manual effort.

✅ Turn a pile of highlights into a living, breathing knowledge base.

• Readwise’s AI isn’t just answering questions.
• It’s built on your personal knowledge graph—something ChatGPT can't replicate.
• It’s like having your own private Perplexity/Google, but trained only on what you’ve deemed valuable.

 🔹 Start using "Chat with your highlights"—ask it about topics you're working on.

🔹 Pay attention to "Other Relevant Highlights"—watch for surprising connections.

🔹 Stop manually linking highlights to PKM—let AI handle it.

• For the first time, Readwise makes Outer World knowledge retrieval effortless.
• You’re no longer just collecting insights—you’re building an AI-powered thinking partner that evolves with you.
