## Definition

**EPUB** is a file format for books that, in this channel's material, serves as the starting point for grounding an AI assistant in a book the model doesn't know well: you obtain the book's EPUB, convert it to text, and upload that text to Claude's **Project Knowledge** so the book becomes a searchable knowledge base for Q&A during interview prep.

In this channel's material, **EPUB** appears as a practical file format for getting a book's text into an AI assistant. Dwarkesh Patel demonstrates the workflow for interview prep when the model doesn't already know the book well:[^video@579] 1. Get the **EPUB** of the guest-relevant book. 2. **Convert the EPUB to text** with an online converter. 3. Upload the text to **Project Knowledge** in Claude. 4. Then — *“I'll just have a bunch of chats”* — asking questions like *“how does he explain what groups made up modern Europeans?”* because *“it has all the context in there.”* The uploaded book becomes a **searchable, context-rich knowledge base** you can interrogate during prep.[^video@579]  - **EPUB** is the source format you obtain for a book. - Its **text** (after conversion) is what actually gets uploaded to Claude's Project Knowledge. - The payoff is a searchable reference the model can use to answer grounded questions about the book.
