keeps the tool's interface simple, but it's not the easiest to install Harry Potter fans listen up: someone has managed to develop a feature that lets you speak to Lord Voldemort himself through one of the best ereaders well, kind of.

Canadian developer Maxime Rivest used Claude Fable 5 to reimagine Tom Riddles famous diary from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as an interactive
AI mod feature for the reMarkable Paper Pro and the result is pretty impressive. Just as how the diary is featured in the book and the 2002 movie, Riddle allows you to write a message on your ereader using the stylus, and, after a brief pause, your message will then fade into the paper. Then, a
reply will shortly appear on the ereader in an animated cursive font similar to Tom Riddles mimicking the feel that someone is writing back to you from a different realm. Latest Videos From Watch full video here:

It looks pretty clever, doesnt it? Well, its all thanks to the magic powers
of AI. I love it when technology feels like magic. pic.twitter.com/7wbjyhyL8D July 4, 2026 Rivest, who used the reMarkable Paper Pros on-device software development kit to create the tool, says he wanted to design an interactive
AI experience that felt as though you were writing in a regular notebook. There are no touchscreens, keyboards, or animated chat bubbles involved, instead he sticks to simplicity.

The feature is built with an image-input compatible LLM, so when you hand-write your note or question, this reads your message as a PNG which is then sent to the AI model. From there, it generates a reply and sends it back to the E Ink display. According to its GitHub listing , Riddle works with OpenAI, OpenRouter, and Groq APIs, and local servers that support image
input.

That said, downloading it isnt the easiest. For starters it only works on the reMarkable Paper Pro in developer mode with a launcher installed.

This modifies your device. It runs as root, stops the vendor UI (in takeover mode), and drives the e-ink engine directly. It has only been tested on a reMarkable Paper Pro (ferrari, aarch64, OS 3.26-3.27). It may not work on other models or OS versions, and you use it entirely at your own risk. Not affiliated with reMarkable AS. Keep SSH access working before you install anything that is your escape hatch. Since Rivest shared his video demo, its garnered a handful of responses that are equal parts amazed and spooked. One user on Reddit says that reMarkable should consider adding this as a flagship tool for their next-gen ereader.

Rivest has been just as active with replying to online comments, noting that this is just [his] first chapter with the project. Alongside his Riddle tool, Rivest also unveiled an interactive Marauders Map feature that he's
developed, another artifact taken from the world of Harry Potter. Follow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
