Collect, understand, write: a complete knowledge loop.

Research around a question: find and organize sources, understand the question in depth, build a knowledge map, and finish with a written summary.

01 · Collect

Scattered sources, gathered by one question.

The answer to a question is usually spread across books, articles, recordings and videos. In ReadingWiki they all live under that one question: drag in local files, and save articles from the web with a single click.

Drag in local files: PDF, EPUB and TXT, plus audio and video such as MP4, MOV and MP3, transcribed to text automatically
One-click browser extension: save a good article in one click, with its text, images and formulas kept clean
Follow quality sources: pick from a built-in curated directory or import the feeds you already follow, and stop doom-scrolling for news

02 · Understand

Dig into the question. Connect what you know.

Once your sources are in, research the question with AI: AI reads the day's updates for you first, everything you read is linked into a knowledge map, and nothing you write goes to waste.

Daily briefing: follow quality sources and, once connected to Claude, get an AI-written summary of each day's updates
Research as you read: work through your sources with AI; every summary is linked into your knowledge map, so none of it is wasted
A versatile editor: tables, formulas and code blocks, plus interactive modules generated by AI that turn hard concepts into hands-on demos

03 · Write

Come back to the question. Write your answer.

At the end of your research, return to the question you started with and write up what you now understand. Cite your sources and summaries as you go, so every sentence can be traced back.

Citations that keep their source: type [[ to cite a source or summary; copy a passage from an original or another page and its source mark comes along
Back to the original in one click: click a source mark to jump straight to that sentence in the original, no hunting around
Let AI write the first draft: once connected to Claude, it can draft from the sources you collected, and you edit it into shape
