Tell HN: Use AI to music score your books

| |||||||||||| 1 point by | Not many people read books but AI is under rated for the ability to theme your experience. If you ask Gemini to create a youtube music playlist for you for a specific book the result is amazing and I wanted to share this with others because it changed my book reading to an actual audio visual experience. There are some apps that do that but the songs are not on point, too "theme like". Gemini can find real songs that are a super fit. | ||||||||||| |
