# 📚 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 |
