I made a book shortener with LLMs

This project shortens books or long texts using an LLM (Large Language Model). Overview The LLM Book Shortener is a tool designed to condense long texts or books into shorter, more manageable versions. By leveraging Large Language Models such as OpenAI's GPT-4o or others, this tool ensures that the essence of the original text is preserved while reducing its length significantly. The primary goal is to facilitate faster reading and comprehension, making it ideal for students, researchers, and avid readers. Motivation I wrote this to read significantly more and it worked. Results test@MacBook-Pro llm-book-shortener % wc -c waldenrewrite.txt 231074 waldenrewrite.txt test@MacBook-Pro llm-book-shortener % wc -c waldenprogress.txt 636980 waldenprogress.txt The rewritten version is approximately ~36% from the original. That's a significant reduction. URL: https://github.com/sturza/llm-book-shortener
