Agents

Agents empower you to do more with your books in iChatbook. They can answer questions, provide tailored responses, and help you customize your reading experience in a variety of ways.

What is an Agent?

An agent is your interactive companion for engaging with books and related data. Whether you’re looking to discuss the plot of a novel, generate summaries, or enrich storytelling with sound effects and music, agents are the backbone of these conversations.

Interactive Chats

• Ask questions or have natural conversations about a specific book or set of books.
• Agents can also feed you contextual insights, such as research data or user comments from external sources, purchasing info, or library borrowing data if available.

Customization

• Control your agent’s personality, tone of voice, or other behaviors to suit your needs.
• Tap into personal data to personalize summaries and recommendations.

Summaries

• Agents can generate quick, two-minute overviews or more detailed 20-minute deep dives.
• Personalize the level of detail or tailor them based on your profile data.

Read-Aloud & Sound Effects

• For children’s books, agents can integrate images, sound effects, and background music to make storytelling more immersive.
• You choose the voice and adjust settings for an engaging read-aloud session.

On-Premises or Cloud

• Organizations can deploy agents entirely behind a VPN or private network.
• Choose from open-source or proprietary hosted models, including specialized voice models, for complete control over data security and AI processing.
