Trails
Discover thematic connections across your book collection using AI
Visit trails.pieterma.es ↗What is Trails?
Trails uses Claude Code to automatically find meaningful connections between books in a personal library. It analyzes non-fiction texts to identify shared themes and creates browsable trails of related excerpts that span across different works. Users can explore connections through embedding similarity, topic hierarchies, and co-occurring themes within the collection.
The system indexes book chunks by topic, organizes them into a tree structure, and provides multiple browsing methods to uncover unexpected relationships. The maker built it to help readers engage more deeply with their libraries rather than just summarizing content, demonstrating how AI can facilitate discovery and cross-book synthesis.
