Book Summaries with AI – Example

Here is an example of using AI for book summaries, starting with the prompt:

I just finished listening to: Isaac Newton by James Gleick

Summary of what stood out to me:

  • How emersed Newton was in his work.
  • How reluctant he was to share his work or credit.
  • The book painted some of Newton’s rivals in particularly negative light, such as Hooke and Liebnitz.

Type of summary I want:

  • An Executive Summary in a .md file, Flashcards in a .csv file to be imported into Anki, and, a Mind Map in a jpg file. All three files into a .zip file for archiving.

Anything else to focus on:

  • Focus on Newton’s most enduring work.

Here is the mind map generated:
