If you're a text-based learner like me and someone who genuinely enjoys reading as the primary way to absorb information, I've stumbled onto something that might be incredibly useful to you. What I've been doing is dumping all my bookmarks on a topic into Claude and asking it to first identify the content clusters (essentially, what themes and ideas these articles actually revolve around), and then turn everything into an interactive e-book tailored to how I learn. The magic isn't just in the summarization but in making the material interactive in ways that articles typically aren't. Think reflection questions, scenarios to consider, connections between ideas that weren't obvious before. It transforms passive reading into something that actually sticks. Obviously, this heavily depends on the complexity of the topic you're dealing with (you definitely need some level of expertise to spot slop) but with the right prompting and iteration, you can drastically reduce it. For anyone who's autodidactic by nature, this is genuinely a bit of a paradise. You get to take that chaotic pile of "I'll read this later" bookmarks and turn it into structured, personalized learning material that meets you where you are. The depth depends on the topic and what you're after, but I've found it especially powerful for making dense or scattered information feel coherent and engaging. If this sounds like your kind of thing, here's the prompt I currently use, treat it as a starting point. Tweak it for your purposes, go back and forth with the model, and iterate until it actually fits how YOU learn: I have [X] articles/sources saved on [general topic]. I want to turn them into a cohesive, interactive e-book that fits my learning style and actually helps me retain what I read. About me (the reader): [Your background, what you already know and where the gaps are] [Why this topic matters to you right now] [What you're ultimately trying to learn or achieve] What I want from the e-book: Written for someone at my level: no talking down, no assuming too much Explains concepts from first principles when needed [Length preference: tight, focused guide vs. comprehensive deep-dive] [Tone: practical and actionable vs. reflective and exploratory] Designed to be read cover-to-cover, not just referenced What makes it "interactive": Include reflection questions, thought exercises, or mini-scenarios throughout Prompt me to connect ideas to my own experience or goals Surface tensions or open questions worth sitting with What "good" looks like: Synthesizes the best insights across all sources, don't just summarize each one separately Explains the "why" and "how," not just the "what" Uses concrete examples and analogies to make abstract ideas tangible Builds logically, earlier sections lay groundwork for later ones...
