It’s basically a mobile app that turns stuff from non-fiction books and online materials into short, personalized audio lessons — centered around whatever you’re trying to get better at right now, though it’s focused on self-growth topics for now.

The idea came up during a chat with my friend Severyn Rybchynskyy. We were talking about how hard it is to actually make time for learning new things and to stay on track. The experience feels very fragmented — switching between YouTube, ChatGPT, reading through online articles and books, or using book summary apps, and then taking notes in Notion, or any other note taking app.

We’ve also both used Blinkist and similar tools before, but they always felt kind of flat. The summaries feel static — they don’t care why you’re listening or what problem you’re trying to solve. After talking to a few friends, it turned out a lot of people feel the same way.

So that’s how Gogue started — just a small attempt to make learning audio tool that adapts a bit more to you and what you’re trying to achieve, letting you take notes, ask AI instant questions, and more.

Anyway, if this idea resonates, I’d really love to hear your thoughts or feedback. 🙌
