Sahil Lavingia from Gumroad has an amazing video on his YouTube channel called "AI in a Day" that explains it at a high level.

Each book is best at answering questions on its own source material. For now though, it will sometimes answer stuff not related to the book.

The litmus test I use is always asking a new book "Do you know anything about the Chamber of Secrets" -- often times will say no. Sometimes will return the most semantically similar thing it can find.

This will be fixed eventually!

My buddy and I will start fixing that on Saturday.

Right now we are in San Francisco pitching the idea to try and raise money to work on it full time :)

I posted this earlier but I have a free weekly newsletter for this project. I take book requests from readers, and document the process of building out the library. Readers also get early access to books as they come out.

Definitely. I've done this for a couple people already actually. At the bottom of the books page I have a link for exactly that kind of use case.
