The big idea
If your textbook is digital (PDF, ebook, or in an app), you can search it with AI. Way faster than flipping pages or using the index. Just ask 'where does my textbook talk about X?' and AI finds the section.
Some examples
- 'In my biology textbook (attached), where does it cover photosynthesis?'
- 'Quote my history textbook on the causes of the Civil War.'
- 'Find all the example problems in chapter 4.'
- 'Summarize what my textbook says about [topic] in 3 sentences.'
