Samapedia Business Biography Platform

Sam built an AI tool called "Bio to Notion" that transforms business biographies into structured, actionable summaries with financial timelines and personalized insights. The tool uploads 1-5 biographies (PDF, EPUB, MOBI, or text) and outputs a comprehensive Notion page with timelines, inflation-adjusted financials, and lessons applicable to the reader's own business.

Key Features:

• Upload Multiple Biographies:

  • Upload 1-5 business biographies of the same person
  • Accepts PDF, EPUB, MOBI, or text formats
  • Combines multiple sources for comprehensive context

• Financial Summary Timeline:

  • Extracts and estimates net worth at different ages
  • Converts historical dollar amounts to 2025 equivalents
  • Tracks major transactions and business milestones
  • Example: Ted Turner at age 24 worth ~$10M (adjusted), age 31 worth ~$16M, crossed $100M at 37

• Structured Output:

  • 3-5 bullet point summary of key journey insights
  • Wikipedia-style biographical sections broken down by life milestones
  • Visual timeline with relevant photos from each era

• Personalized "Founder's Playbook" Section:

  • Applies lessons from the biography to your own business
  • User uploads information about themselves and their business to Claude
  • AI identifies relevant insights and categorizes them (e.g., "Survive the Ridicule" for CNN launch)
  • Highlights what was rare or noteworthy that deserves attention

Potential Evolution:

• Publishable Platform ("Samapedia"):

  • Could become an online database of business biography summaries
  • Create a personal knowledge base of great business leaders
  • Share structured insights publicly

• Automation Enhancement:

  • Use AI agents to automatically find and download biographies weekly
  • Convert summaries into podcast format
  • Subscribe to a personal podcast of business biography insights
