According to our research, our idea is unique and never used before. Some similar solutions might be found on the internet, however ours will be a mix of all of them with a touch of original suggestions, making the bot the most useful tool on the market regarding the study of Literature.
The majority of books and online sources usually offer maps and summaries rarely functional to a deep understanding and long-lasting learning.
'A.I. for Literature' introduces 4 innovative concepts:
- it is a bot! Never a bot has been used for Literature learning;
- active and interactive learning: the user may watch a short movie in which the text/play/novel is briefly acted, in order to understand the plot and avoid reading pages and pages in the book. Moreover, through the activity of reciting you can revise and study excerpts of your text. You are also offered connections between different themes that are linked to your chosen text;
- continuous training: through a system of notifications that can be set by the user, the bot will send a reminder to review the topic (e.g. after a few months) and keep refreshing it;
- personalised education pathway: whether you are a teenager or an adult, you can choose what to see and revise specific content.
