"We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge."

"Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it."

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.

"Other Relevant Highlights": AI as Your Knowledge Connector

Their two new features—"Chat with your highlights" and "Other relevant highlights"—turn years of knowledge into an interactive, intelligent system.

Readwise just revolutionized Shallow Thinking with AI

Before, making highlights useful required:❌ Manual tagging❌ Complex PKM connections❌ Endless scrolling to find insightsNow, AI does the heavy lifting.Just capture, and the system resurfaces what's relevant when needed.

The Future of Shallow Thinking with AI
