I love books. I buy them, read them, collect them, and sell them. But here’s the thing—AI has completely transformed how I read, learn, and even how I sell.
If you're a book lover, content creator, or entrepreneur, AI can be your ultimate reading and business sidekick. Here’s how I use it and how you can too, plus a way to turn these skills into sales.
1. Get Instant Summaries (Before You Buy or Write)
Instead of guessing whether a book is worth your time, ask AI:
“Summarize ‘Building a Second Brain’ by Tiago Forte in 200 words.”
Bonus for creators: Use this same trick to reverse-engineer bestselling books and create your own content faster. (More on this later.)
2. Turn Any Text into an Audiobook
Too busy to sit and read? AI voice tools like ElevenLabs or Speechify can convert articles, PDFs, or even your own drafts into natural-sounding audio.
Pro tip for sellers: Repurpose your content into audio snippets for social media great for engagement!
3. Ask AI to Explain Tough Concepts
Struggling with a dense book? Paste a passage into ChatGPT and ask:
“Explain this like I’m 15.”
Business hack: If you can simplify complex ideas, you’ll sell more. (AI helps you practice this skill.)
4. Speed Read with AI
Tools like Spreeder or SwiftRead use AI to flash words at you rapidly, helping you read 2-3x faster.
Why this matters: The faster you learn, the faster you can earn
5. Chat with Any PDF (Game-Changer for Research)
Upload a book or report to ChatPDF or Adobe AI Assistant and ask:
“What are the 3 key takeaways?”
“Give me a bullet-point summary.”
For entrepreneurs: Use this to analyze competitors’ books or sales materials then make yours better.
6. Get Personalized Book Recommendations
Loved a marketing book? Ask AI:
“Recommend 5 books like ‘This Is Marketing’ by Seth Godin.”
Smarter selling: Study these to refine your own messaging.
7. Translate & Learn Languages Instantly
Reading foreign content? DeepL or Google Translate AI makes it seamless.
Growth tip: Expand your market by translating your own content for global audiences.
8. Turn Notes into Actionable Content
Use Notion AI or Mem.ai to organize highlights and generate social posts, emails, or even course outlines from your reading.
Example prompt:
“Turn these book notes into a Twitter thread.”
9. Visualize Ideas with AI
Ask ChatGPT + DALL·E:
“Create an infographic summarizing ‘Atomic Habits.’”
Content gold: Visuals boost engagement and sales.
10. Read Without Distractions
Use Mercury Reader to strip away ads and clutter from articles.
Focus hack: The clearer your mind, the sharper your sales messaging.
How This All Connects to Selling
Here’s the truth: The best sellers are the best readers. They consume, distill, and repurpose knowledge faster than anyone else.

Final Thought
AI isn’t just changing how we read it’s changing how we think, create, and sell.
The question is: Will you use it to get ahead?
