WOLIO, the world’s first AI-powered book personalization platform, has secured its first angel funding round of ₹2.5 million INR to build the early phase of its innovative product. The round saw participation from early believers in AI-native content innovation and visionaries backing the future of intelligent reading.

Founded by Akshay Manorama, WOLIO aims to revolutionize how people read books by transforming static content into dynamic, AI-personalized experiences. Each book on the WOLIO platform will adapt in real-time to a reader’s mindset, preferences, and learning goals—rewriting tone, style, and even structure to suit the individual.

“The way we read hasn’t changed in centuries—WOLIO is changing that. Books will no longer be one-size-fits-all,” said Akshay Manorama, founder of WOLIO.


🚀 Fund Utilization:

The ₹2.5 million will be used to:

  • Build the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) — a web-based version of the platform

  • Develop AI pipelines for real-time book content rewriting

  • Launch the first AI-persona reading experiments

  • Expand the product and UI/UX teams

WOLIO is being developed under Toolpill Technologies Pvt. Ltd., with a strong focus on intellectual property (IP), AI innovation, and user-centric design. The company plans to launch its closed beta by the end of 2025, inviting early adopters to experience the future of reading.
