# Readwise Chat (RAG over Highlights) Uses GPT-5.1 to answer questions with RAG over the user's full highlight library via WebSocket streaming. ## Prerequisites Chat requires session cookies (not API token). Check if configured: ```bash grep SESSION_COOKIES ~/.readwise/env ``` If missing, run: ```bash readwise-custom auth session ``` This launches Chrome, navigates to readwise.io/chat, and extracts httpOnly session cookies via CDP. ## Commands ### One-Shot Query Streams the response to stdout as it arrives: ```bash readwise-custom chat "What are my highlights about fiduciary duty?" readwise-custom chat "Summarize my notes on proxy advisors" readwise-custom chat "Compare what I've read about SEC regulation vs FINRA" ``` With JSON output (includes related highlights): ```bash readwise-custom chat "What do my highlights say about broker-dealer regulation?" --json ``` ### Interactive REPL Multi-turn conversation with context preserved: ```bash readwise-custom chat-interactive readwise-custom chat-interactive --model 5.1-thinking # reasoning model ``` Type `exit` to quit. ### Conversation Management ```bash readwise-custom chat-list # List all conversations readwise-custom chat-get <id>

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
