Ask in-context
Ask any question and the copilot answers from the page you’re on, not the whole web.
Local-first AI reading workspace
Read, translate, and ask — without leaving your book.
SageRead X blends a fast reader with an on-device AI copilot. Import EPUB, PDF, TXT, MOBI, FB2/FBZ, or CBZ comics, translate any paragraph in-line, ask contextual questions, and keep every highlight searchable across devices.
