Show HN: I Made an AI Podcaster That Reads 100 Business Books

[davidkarolyi]

Over Christmas break, I started tinkering with an idea, a simple experiment to pass the time. What if I could build an AI podcaster that reads 100 of the best business books, extracts the most interesting ideas, and turns them into short, actionable episodes?

It sounded fun, so I gave it a shot.

What I didn’t expect was how much it would blow my mind. This AI didn’t just regurgitate information—it captured the essence of each book with a clarity and focus that felt almost... human. Somehow, it managed to distill complex ideas into their simplest, most powerful forms. The kind of takeaways that stick with you, long after you’ve heard them.

I sat there, listening to the AI narrate its findings, and I couldn’t help but feel amazed... This was more than I thought I’d create in a weekend project. It captured a kind of value that felt almost too good to keep to myself.

So here it is: my AI podcaster experiment in action. And this is just the beginning—new episodes will be released every single week, diving deeper into the best ideas in entrepreneurship.

I checked it out the first episode, and I enjoyed it. One thing I would suggest to include the source book(s) used for each episode in the notes.
