About The Sage
How does The Sage work?
The Sage is FantasyRead's AI agent that processes your books and tracks your reading progress. As you read, it identifies characters, locations, concepts, and plot points. When you need context, The Sage provides summaries drawn only from what you've already read - keeping everything spoiler-free.
Will The Sage give me spoilers?
Absolutely not. The Sage is specifically designed to be spoiler-free. It only provides information based on your current reading position. If you're on page 100, The Sage knows nothing about page 101 - you discover the story naturally at your own pace.
How long does it take for The Sage to process my book?
The Sage needs to read and process your book before it can provide assistance. The time required for initial processing varies depending on the book's size - shorter books may take a few minutes, while longer novels might take longer. Once processing is complete, The Sage is ready to accompany you throughout your reading journey.
