So far I've used it to reference ideas from books I've read before. I've also used it to explore books I have not read before by asking the bot questions. Some people have told me they use it like a reading companion. They pause while reading the book if they have a question, and use Konjer to answer it.

Hi When you are learning a new language, you need to practice different skills: reading, listening, speaking, writing.
