Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Cartoonist Amy Kurzweil shares how she and her father, inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, used artificial intelligence to connect with her grandfather. Fredbot, her grandfather's chatbot, was built by digitizing thousands of his lecture notes, love letters, music writings, and employment applications. The process inspired Amy to write and illustrate the book.
