A Python script that reads PDF books page by page, using AI to extract knowledge points and generate progressive summaries at configurable intervals. It persists a JSON knowledge base and produces Markdown summaries with resume capability and smart content filtering.

Use cases

• summarize a pdf book with ai
• extract knowledge points from a pdf page by page
• generate progressive summaries while reading a long pdf
• build a persistent knowledge base from a book pdf
• skip table of contents and index pages when analyzing a pdf
• resume an interrupted pdf analysis run

When to choose

• you want automated AI-powered summarization of a full PDF book
• you need interval-based progress summaries and a persistent JSON knowledge base
• you want a simple configurable Python script you can edit constants in

When to avoid

• you need a GUI or web interface for document analysis
• you need batch processing of many PDFs with a pipeline
• you want fine-grained control over prompts or a different LLM provider without code changes
