What if there was a smarter way to reinforce your memory and even discover new ideas? I used this no-code workflow to create an AI knowledge base from my Kindle reading notes and highlights. Read on to see how it works and the results!
The first step in this workflow is to collect your notes and highlights effortlessly. To do this, I connected my Kindle with Readwise, a tool that syncs highlights from Kindle and multiple other data sources, including those made from browsers. This way, I can consolidate all my reading notes in one place.
Quick note: We are not affiliated with Readwise, but I’ve been using it for years and find it extremely valuable. It’s worth checking out if you read a lot and want an easy way to manage your notes!
Once Readwise has collected my highlights, I export them in markdown format.
With the markdown file ready, I import it into Ragdoll AI, our no-code AI knowledge base platform. The beauty of Ragdoll AI is that it allows users to create an intelligent, searchable database without needing any programming skills.
Here’s where the magic happens. With a simple prompt, Ragdoll AI can generate a summary of the book based on my notes and highlights. This means I don’t have to manually sift through my highlights to recall the main points—the AI does it for me!
Beyond just summarization, I can ask detailed questions to extract deeper insights from the book, as long as the information is included in my notes. Whether I want to review key takeaways, revisit important passages, or even compare concepts across books, Ragdoll AI makes it seamless.
This is where Ragdoll AI truly shines. Instead of treating my highlights as isolated notes, I can continuously add new highlights from other books. Ragdoll AI then analyzes these additions, connects the dots, and finds related concepts, ideas, and even contrasting viewpoints across multiple books.
In my example, Ragdoll AI was able to compare the two books on Asian political economy, surface common themes, and suggest deeper questions to explore. This transforms passive reading into an active learning experience!
Having my notes pulled into a knowledge base that I can interact with not only helps me refresh my memory, but it also deepens my understanding by encouraging critical thinking. Instead of simply reading and forgetting, I’m able to engage with the material in a way that’s structured, interactive, and insightful.
