Reader AI scope

On a given Reader tab (Education History, Employment History, and the like), you’ll likely navigate through a number of reader tab materials.

On the Employment History tab, for example, each job is a material.

The Reader AI’s conversational scope is delimited by the current material. That is, it can only provide answers to questions about the material you’re presently looking at.
