Research & Summaries FAQ
No. While AI is a great tool for formatting and grammar, it hallucinates quotes and misses the subtle context required for high-level content creation. Our VAs manually read and synthesize the material to ensure 100% accuracy and nuance.
It depends on the complexity of the material and the depth of the brief. Generally, a comprehensive deep-dive synthesis of a standard non-fiction book takes between 6 to 10 hours of active, focused work (reading, highlighting, outlining, and formatting).
You can securely share PDFs, EPUBs, or grant access to your Kindle library. For physical-only books or highly specialized academic papers behind paywalls, you will need to provide the digital files or reimburse the VA for the digital purchase.
