About Bindlore

Bindlore is a Chrome extension that transforms books owned by the user into structured AI skills usable by agents such as Claude or Codex. The tool processes files locally in the browser, including PDF, EPUB, Word, PowerPoint, plain text, and photos of paper pages, without uploading content to any cloud. It performs on-device parsing, OCR for scans, and generates a SKILL.md file with chapter references, enabling agents to search, quote, and reason over the book’s content. Users can preview titles, authors, sections, and token counts before exporting the skill or alternative formats like Markdown, Word, or plain text. Batch processing allows multiple files to be converted at once, producing a single skill bundle. Optional AI extras such as summaries, insights, and Anki flashcards can be generated using the user’s own OpenAI or Anthropic API key, with requests routed directly to the provider. The tool explicitly refuses DRM-locked files, focusing on legally owned or public-domain content.
