The AI rewrote my ebook file so the footnotes actually click

He told the AI the ebook he is writing only had endnotes with no links, not footnotes linked in the text. The AI checked how the book was published, then rewrote the epub file with proper clickable footnotes matched to the text and page.

How it works

  1. Complains to the AI that his ebook only has endnotes without links
  2. The AI confirms that is how the book was published
  3. The AI rewrites the epub file with clickable footnotes matched to the text and page

Why it’s worth knowing

He just complained about the notes. The AI went and rebuilt the book file itself.
