I wouId love summaries being a section on Hardcover book pages.

I do see following options being worth a consideration:

  • User submitted summaries with the possibility of up- and downvotes on Hardcover

  • Integration of AI to summarize books. This could be a paid feature for supporters on Hardcover. I don't think this can be offered for every book, but the major popular books could be worth AI summaries. Especially for the non-fiction area where this can help readers get a more in depth understanding of what the author is saying.

This would need to be hidden in some way. The last thing I would want to see of a book I am considering reading is a summary. You just spoiled the book for me.

Came here to add this myself! StoryGraph has a great AI summary feature. Wish something similar was added to Hardcover

I do know of a few blogs / non-profit AI summary sites. An option could be asking them for an API endpoint and linking them for their effort here
