Meet Scholia — the AI companion for paper books.

Photograph any page. Scholia already knows the book, finds your place, and answers anything — without spoiling what's ahead.

01 — THE IDEA

Your position isn't a page number. It's a sentence.

Editions differ. Page 214 in your paperback isn't page 214 in someone else's. Scholia never anchors to a number in the corner — it reads the words on the page in front of you and finds exactly where that sentence sits inside the book it already knows.

              
              Located — by passage, not page
            

02 — THE GUARDRAIL

It only tells you what you've already earned.

Ask about a character, a theme, a plot thread — Scholia answers fully, using everything up to your exact position. Everything past it stays sealed until you get there. No spoilers, no hedging, no "I can't say."

Sealed until you arrive

03 — NO SETUP

Any paper book. No library, no scan-in.

Nothing to upload, no catalog to check against. Modern AI already knows most books worth reading — Scholia just needs a photo of the page you're on and the title. That's the whole setup.
