Reading a book and learning from it are not the same. A course turns the book into short lessons, one per chapter or main idea, each with the key points and practice questions, then a final test across the whole book. You attach the book (PDF, Word or EPUB); the assistant plans the lessons from its chapters, then writes a few at a time, reading only the part of the book each lesson covers. You can edit every lesson.
What you get
One lesson per chapter, from your text
The outline follows the book's own chapters, and each lesson is written from that part of the text only.
Lessons, key points, practice
Each lesson has clear text, the key points to remember and practice questions, followed by a final test across all lessons.
Written from your source
Attach a book, a PDF or a document: the assistant plans one lesson per chapter and writes them a few at a time, from your text only.

Is it OK to use a book I do not own?

How long does it take?
The outline in seconds, then a few lessons per minute. You can stop and continue.
Can I check the lessons?
Yes: each lesson opens in the editor with its text, key points and questions.
