Reading the items that matter…
FOR
Photography was called the end of painting too, and it pushed painters toward Impressionism. L104
Renaissance masters ran workshops where assistants painted much of the work, so art was never one hand. L106
AGAINST
Image models learn from millions of artworks, often without the artists' consent. L109
Art carries intent, and a model has no point of view of its own. L105

How it works
Pluto Library reads
like a researcher.
01 / 03
File.
Every video, podcast and article gets read, summarised, given a call number and put on the right shelf.
02 / 03
Connect.
Facts, companies and concepts are pulled out of each item and tied to everything else you've saved.
03 / 03
Think.
Ask a question and Pluto reads the items that matter, weighs who agrees and who doesn't, and cites every claim.
Set up once.
Then just ask.
Pluto Library works from a folder you already keep. There is nothing to tag and nothing to sort.

08Concepts
A concept map across your library, the models speakers explain, and a primer for each topic.

Facts kept apart from views
Raw material lives on Facts and Companies. Opinions and frameworks live on Lenses.
Outside knowledge, labelled
Switch on Claude's own knowledge when you want it. Anything not from your library is marked.

real library.

Read for the joy of it. Keep every favourite article, podcast and talk in one place. Pluto Library shows you how it all connects, so your thinking gets clearer the more you read.
A few things you might be wondering.
What can Pluto Library read?
Videos and podcasts as transcripts, articles, PDFs, Word files and posts. Video to Text saves transcripts of what you watch into a folder, and Pluto Library Sync brings new files in. You can also add files and paste text by hand.
Where is my library kept?
In your own Claude account. Open Pluto Library at claude.ai on your phone or computer, signed in, and it's all there.
What does it cost to run?
It runs on your Claude account. Every action shows an estimate before it runs: filing an item with Haiku is a fraction of a cent, and a standard answer is about $0.08 to $0.21. On a Claude plan, questions use your plan's limits instead of being billed.
Which models does it use?
Haiku 5.5 for filing and quick passes, Sonnet 5.5 for answers and debates, and Opus 5.5 for connecting ideas and projects. You can pick a different model for any step.
Will answers mix in things I never saved?
Only if you switch on Claude's knowledge. Anything that comes from outside your library is marked as such, and may be out of date.
Can it write like me?
Add a style from 3 to 5 samples of your writing, or of a writer you admire. When you edit a draft yourself, the style can learn from what you changed.
Can I control what answers use?
Yes. Choose sources, topics, years and countries, switch single items or parts of items off, and archive anything you don't want answers to read.
Never lose a good idea again.
Pluto Library turns what you read into something you can ask, check and write from.
