## What it is
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
