Three steps. One insight. Zero wasted time.
Browse or upload

Choose your lens
Tell us what you want — leadership lessons, talking points, best quotes, or an action checklist.

Get a 1-minute spark, a 5-minute overview, or a 10-minute deep dive. The AI trims to fit exactly.
Why Bookworm beats Blinkist & Headway
We fixed the things people actually complain about.
Goal-based summaries
Ask for leadership lessons in Atomic Habits. Or management insights in The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. Most apps give you the same generic summary regardless of why you're reading.
You control the depth
1-minute spark, 5-minute overview, or 10-minute deep dive. Blinkist gives you one fixed length. You get the choice.
Upload your own books
Bought a book, received an ebook, or have industry reports? Upload them. Silver tier and above get aspect-based summaries on their own files.
Citation-linked summaries
Every key point links back to the exact page and paragraph it came from. No more wondering if the AI made it up.
Simple, honest pricing
Start free. Upgrade when you're ready. 10% off all annual plans.
