        AI-book

        Wat is een AI-book?

        Een AI-book is niet een boek dat geschreven is door AI maar een boek dat verrijkt is met AI. Het maakt de inhoud van een boek interactief via WhatsApp, zodat je ermee kunt chatten. Zie het als een razend slimme assistent die het boek perfect begrijpt en er alles uit onthouden heeft. Jij kunt deze assistent alles vragen. Vraag bijvoorbeeld hoe je iets kunt toepassen op jouw persoonlijke situatie, om een korte samenvatting, of wat de belangrijkste inzichten zijn. AI-books zijn alleen te gebruiken via WhatsApp, je hoeft er geen aparte app voor te installeren.
