Rowan Cheung, founder of The Rundown AI, explains to Greg Isenberg his workflow for using AI voice assistants as interactive tutors during reading and research.

And whenever there's a topic I don't really understand, I'll just ask it, oh, hey, what does this mean? And I'll go deeper with it before I move on to the next page. And it really helps like retention.”
