Launch of 'Bookleverage', a Book Q&A Service Expanding and Deepening the Reading Experience with Generative AI

Qureka Inc. (Headquarters: Nakano-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Yuta Madate, hereinafter Qureka), which develops curiosity through technology, has launched 'Bookleverage', a book Q&A service where AI provides instant answers to user questions based on book data. ■ Background: The 'Reading Barrier' Faced by Business People In modern society, updating professional knowledge (reskilling) is an urgent task. However, the reality is that obtaining knowledge from many 'books' requires a massive amount of time and effort. In fact, over 70%*1 of business people feel challenged in acquiring knowledge from books, and much valuable information is left piled up and unused. This low 'accessibility of knowledge' is a major social issue. By providing the book Q&A service 'Bookleverage', where generative AI instantly answers user questions, Qureka will accelerate individual challenges and contribute to improving productivity and creating innovation in society as a whole. *1: Independent survey of approx. 100 business people ■ Key Features of 'Bookleverage' This service uses AI to organize knowledge from books and output it instantly as 'usable information'. From the vast pages of a book, AI searches and analyzes information directly related to current tasks. The AI summarizes the content of a single book in 10 minutes, allowing readers to grasp the whole picture in a short time. By giving instructions to the AI such as, 'Summarize chapter 3 of this book' or 'My business is XX. Think of a strategy based on this book,' readers can significantly compress the time spent reading, researching, and thinking. [Functions] ① Pinpoint Q&A If you ask a question about something unclear, the AI will instantly answer by quoting the relevant section. You can understand without missing the main points. ② Personalized Materialization When you input your own situation or worries, the AI will provide explanations to solve your own challenges based on the book's content. ■ Recommended for These People ・Busy leaders / managers: Those who need to input from multiple books a month but find it difficult to secure reading time. ・Professionals (consultants, engineers, certified professionals, etc.): Those who want to instantly find specific solutions directly related to their tasks from vast professional books. ・New business developers / entrepreneurs: Those who want to apply knowledge from inexperienced fields such as finance, law, or the latest technology to their own business plans. ・HR development departments: Corporate representatives who want to ensure employees' learning isn't just 'read and forgotten' but made usable in actual operations. With 'Bookleverage', you can try the Q&A for some books for free. Please try the experience of asking questions to a book starting with our free content. ■ Future Outlook Through 'Bookleverage', Qureka Inc. will turn reading into 'usable knowledge'. Moving forward, in addition to expanding the number of titles offered through broader partnerships with publishers, we will expand corporate usage scenarios and provide the knowledge and frameworks accumulated in books in a form that can be utilized in daily tasks and decision-making. ■ About the Business Model Balancing Copyright Protection and Returns to Publishers 'Bookleverage' only uses authorized book data obtained with permission from rights holders. ・Rights protection: We thoroughly ensure a design that does not damage existing book sales, such as not training AI models on the book data and restricting full-text output. ・Revenue returns: We return the revenue from the Q&A usage rights collected from users to publishers, contributing to the sustainable growth of the publishing industry. ■ Request for Information We are currently widely recruiting publishers and authors to participate. We are also accepting requests for information from corporations considering the introduction of 'Bookleverage'. ・Information for publishers/authors is here ・Information for corporate enterprises is here ・For general service inquiries, click here ■ Taking Requests for Q&A Books We are accepting requests for books to be added to 'Bookleverage'.
