+# 📚 AIBook.fun
 
+**A living, crowd-written field guide to using AI agents responsibly at work.**
+
+AIBook.fun's unit of content isn't a chapter — it's a **workflow you can actually run**: a
+documented, tested recipe for getting a real job done with AI, guardrails included. It's written
+and kept current by the practitioners who use it, and it launches as an annual subscription,
+crowdfunded on Kickstarter.
+
+> **Status: planning stage.** This repository holds the product's planning documents. The product
+> is not yet live, and everything here is a working draft — figures, dates, and commercial terms
+> are planning assumptions, not commitments. Public launch is **targeted for September 26, 2026**.
+
+## The idea in one loop
+
+The one thing the product must do well:
+
+```
+READ a workflow  →  RUN the Try-it (~15 min)  →  SHARE the result  →  (come back)
+```
+
+If readers run workflows and share results, the guide is alive. Everything else — community
+contribution, cohort learning, onboarding for AI agents — is a layer built on top of that loop.
+
+## Who it's for
+
+Busy professionals — in real estate, financial advice, fractional executive roles, higher
+education, community leadership, and technology — who want to **apply an AI workflow this week**,
+not read AI theory.
+
+## What's in this repository
+
+This is a documentation and planning repo. Three companion documents define the product:
+
+| Document | What it covers |
+|:--|:--|
+| [Product Requirements (PRD)](AiBook_PRD.md) | What we're building and why — scope, requirements, success metrics, open decisions |
+| [Product Specification (Spec)](AiBook_Spec.md) | The thinking behind it — vision, principles, content model, business model |
+| [Implementation Plan](AiBook_Implementation_Plan.md) | How and when — the path from now to launch and fulfillment |
+
+New here? Start with the **[Spec](AiBook_Spec.md)** for the vision, then the **[PRD](AiBook_PRD.md)**
+for the specifics.
+
+## How it works (the short version)
+
+- **Content:** every entry follows one *Workflow Recipe* template — problem, method (showing the
+  real tool output), safeguards, evidence, a ~15-minute Try-it, and costs. The template is the
+  quality guarantee — the structural answer to "how do I know this AI advice isn't made up?"
+- **Editions:** the guide refreshes annually — which is why it's a subscription. AI moves fast,
+  and stale advice is worthless.
+- **Contribution:** the first edition is written by a founding set of co-authors; open community
+  contribution follows once the library is worth browsing.
+- **Responsible by design:** the guardrails (data handling, human oversight, failure modes) are
+  part of every workflow, not an appendix.
+
+## Project status & roadmap
+
+| Stage | Focus |
+|:--|:--|
+| **Now → launch** | Seed the founding library, build the campaign, crowdfund the first edition |
+| Post-launch | Fulfill the first edition; open community contribution |
+| Later | Cohort learning, annual editions, deeper ecosystem integration |
