How it works

What it actually looks at

Genre isn't the main thing. It pays attention to pacing, voice, and mood across your five, then finds one book with a similar feel.

CARD 01

Voice & pacing

How the writing actually moves. Not what shelf it's on.

CARD 02

Recurring themes

Even when your five span totally different genres.

CARD 03

Tone and mood

Cozy, unsettling, sweeping, quiet. Whatever runs through your picks.

CARD 04

One real book

A published title that actually exists. Not invented on the spot.

03
Your next read

One book, chosen for you.

One title we're most confident in, with the full reasoning. Three more in the same vein sit right below it if you want options.

One we actually ran:
Gave it Project Hail Mary, The Martian, Ready Player One, Ender's Game, Dune
Got back Children of Time — Adrian Tchaikovsky

Same hard-science curiosity and against-the-odds problem solving. Just told through an alien species instead of one astronaut. Plus three more picks in the same vein.

Questions

Common questions

You give it five books you love. It looks at what they actually have in common (voice, pacing, themes, mood, not just genre) and hands you one real book that fits best, plus three more in the same vein.

Sort of. You get one primary pick with the full reasoning, plus three quick alternates in the same vein below it. It's not a wall of ten maybes, just a couple more if you want to compare.

Nope. A mixed bag usually works better. Five books that all look the same on a shelf don't give it much to go on.

As you type, it checks a built-in list of well-known titles, classics and current bestsellers, just to help you fill things in faster. You can also just type freely. The dropdown's optional.

No. Nothing you type is stored, logged, or shared. Every request starts fresh.

Sometimes it will. It's still AI, and five books don't always point somewhere obvious. If a pick feels off, swap one of your five for something else you loved. Even one change moves the answer a lot.
