## What is Canon?

Canon transforms how you consume books and articles. Whether you have 5 minutes or 30, Canon adapts to your schedule with flexible reading lengths and an AI companion that knows every book in the library.

Read on your terms
Every book comes in multiple formats — a 5-minute overview to get the gist or a 30-minute deep dive for the key ideas. Start quick, go deeper when you're ready.

Meet your reading companion
Canon's AI assistant has read every book in the library so you don't have to start from scratch. Ask questions, get explanations, and explore connections between ideas across different books. Select any passage to instantly discuss it, save it, or discover similar quotes from other titles.

Go down the rabbit hole
Found a quote that resonates? Canon finds similar passages across the entire library, helping you discover unexpected connections between books you'd never think to pair together.

Organize your knowledge
Save your favorite books and quotes in your personal library. Add articles from the web — just paste a URL and Canon summarizes them for you. Everything in one place, always searchable.

Discover what to read next
Browse curated collections, get personalized recommendations, and explore featured books. Request titles you'd love to see added to the growing library.

Key Features:
- Two reading lengths for every book (5 min and 30 min)
- AI companion for book and article discussions
- Smart article summarization from any URL
- Cross-library quote discovery ("Rabbit Hole")
- Personal library with saved books and quotes
