I’m excited to share a transformative idea that reimagines how we engage with books in today’s ever-evolving, AI-driven world. As technology continues to reshape our lives, we now have an opportunity to enhance one of humanity’s oldest and most cherished pastimes: reading.

Imagine a personal, interactive AI-powered companion that doesn’t just help you read but elevates the experience to something immersive and dynamic. Here's how:

Interactive Engagement: The AI acts as a conversational friend, responding to your thoughts and questions as you read. It mirrors the tone and style of the book, whether suspenseful, adventurous, or reflective, making you feel as if you're conversing with a character or narrator from the story.
Seamless Switching Between Reading and Listening: With adaptive voice narration that matches the book's mood, readers can effortlessly toggle between reading and listening. Whether it's a suspenseful cliffhanger or a serene reflective moment, the AI brings the pages to life.
Smart Context Awareness: The AI tracks your progress and context within the book, tailoring its insights and interactions. It avoids spoilers, highlights key themes, and keeps curiosity alive, ensuring that every moment with the book feels deeply personal and engaging.
This idea represents a bold step toward the future of book consumption, blending the timeless joy of reading with the cutting-edge possibilities of artificial intelligence. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about creating a companionable, immersive experience that resonates with each reader uniquely.

What if your product teams stopped building noise and started creating value?

That shift means faster shipping.
Customers who care about what gets released.
And no more value stuck in endless backlogs.

I’m Jan, aka Jan Solo.
Ex-cop. Alt-rock addict 🎸.

And a product leader with 10+ years of experience turning decisions into value.

The only coach who’ll drop a ballet pose mid-workshop just to make sure the point sticks.

My roles:

- Interim PO → direction & results from day one
- Coach & sparring partner → feedback & focus
- Workshops & keynotes → bold, actionable

Why me?

Ten years as a cop taught me to spot patterns fast, stay patient, and call out the hard stuff.

I don’t sugarcoat. I say what others dance around.

That’s why my workshops stick long after the slides are gone.

And in the end, I step out so your team can stand on its own. Sharper, faster, independent.

Results clients get from working with me:

→ Product owners who step up strategically.
→ Releases that land with customers.
→ Shorter time-to-value across the board.

📨 Want sharper decisions and products that matter?

DM me or check jansolo.be.
