MARK®

Product Introduction

1. MARK® is an AI-powered ecosystem designed to enhance the reading experience for users of physical books by integrating smart tracking and summarization tools. It combines a physical bookmark (Mark 1) with a digital platform to bridge print and digital learning, enabling users to retain knowledge, track reading progress, and access AI-generated insights.
2. The core value of MARK® lies in its ability to transform passive reading into an interactive, data-driven process, fostering intellectual growth through seamless integration of physical and digital tools. It prioritizes user retention, curiosity, and progress tracking while maintaining the tactile satisfaction of reading physical books.

Main Features

1. AI-Powered Page Tracking and Summarization: The Mark 1 bookmark automatically records page numbers and uses AI algorithms to generate concise summaries of read content, which are synced to the user’s digital devices. This feature eliminates manual note-taking and ensures key takeaways are preserved in an organized format.
2. Cross-Device Synchronization: Reading data, summaries, and progress metrics are instantly accessible across smartphones, tablets, and computers via MARK®’s companion app. Users can review insights, set goals, and export summaries in multiple formats for offline use.
