## What is ReadCaddy?

ReadCaddy helps you understand and visualize books while you read.

Import an EPUB or download free public-domain books, then use built-in AI assistance when you want help catching up, following characters, asking questions, or creating visual interpretations from the text.

Use ReadCaddy to get chapter recaps, review character context, ask open-ended questions, explain highlighted passages, and create images or short videos from selected scenes.

Features include:

* Chapter recaps for the current chapter, earlier chapters, or the book so far
* Support for novels, short story collections, anthologies, and textbooks in EPUB format
* Character context across chapters
* Open-ended questions about the book
* Character portraits based on text details
* Images from selected scenes
* Explanations for highlighted text
* Short videos from highlighted passages
* Night-friendly reading settings

ReadCaddy works best with EPUB books. PDFs can be imported and read, but AI-assisted reading features are currently focused on EPUB.

AI responses and generated media can vary. ReadCaddy is a reading companion, not a replacement for the book itself.
