Original Summary

I kept finishing “important” audiobooks out of sunk-cost habit. By hour six I’d already got the thesis, still sitting through examples I didn’t need this month. Fixed-catalog summary apps often miss the exact title. Full listens are honest — and expensive when the book isn’t the right next read. So I made a tiny pre-commit step for myself: short audio skim of the core argument first, then decide whether the full listen earns a week of commute. What I built (Summaia): on-demand AI audio summaries for any book — not a fixed catalog. You pick the book and the length; narrated audio generates instantly, in 40+ languages. Honest limit: it’s a summary of big ideas, not the book, and AI can miss nuance. Real example: before another full pass on Atomic Habits , I ran a short skim on habit stacking and environment design. Confirmed I already lived most of it — skipped the 5-hour re-listen. How it works: 1) Type the book you already meant to start 2) Pick a length 3) Get narrated audio for that skim I made this. What’s your rule for “skim first” vs “full listen from page one”?
