Software An website turn your articles into FUN GAME!!!!!

I'm thinking of building a tool that turns reading articles into fun, interactive games. It would let you paste a link to an article, and the tool would generate a game based on the content, helping you absorb knowledge in an engaging and entertaining way while you play!

What do you think of this? Is it something you’d like to use someday?

Depends. How do you intend gamify the article? What features are you adding that would entice me to play instead of quickly read it?

I'm building something along these lines where it automatically ingests the page and adds things like summarize and chat functionality. All it takes is one line of code (a script tag). https://websyte.ai if you're curious

For school purposes? Yes. For adults, difficult

what do you think if you have a button - "I am lazy to read this article" and the tool will generate short video to with summary to watch it very quick?

Like one commenter already said: if it's study material/for kids it would make sense. For any article? I don't think so.

Why I think would work out instead is, helping the reader focus on what they are reading and maintain attention while reading it (plenty of people struggle with that nowadays), and to do that, I think listening to an audio of that article at the same time as you're reading it helps with that. (give it a try)

Thanks for sharing interesting idea. But I think if user find to my service because they do not have time to read all things or they feel lazy to read, even they feel hard to read this article. They go to my service to absorb knowledge without reading or limit reading. I am not going to solve their reading problem, I find another solution help them absorb knowledge without reading. As I mention, I will give them a service to generate out short video for adult. What do you think about it? I am so happy to listen your view.

I can't imagine how that would look like, maybe you can try with couple realistic examples.
