Please join us in welcoming these new members who have joined the JDC recently.
Following on from the recent digitisation of the entire archive of Jaguar Driver Magazine, we have taken the project a step further with the introduction of ‘FactKeep’, an AI tool that allows members to unlock years of Jaguar history by simply asking a question. Just ask it questions in natural English, or French, German, Italian etc and as long as the information has been published in the magazine then the system will find it. Members are given the option of two versions of the programme: Fact which is included as standard as part of their annual subscription, or Pro which is a far more detailed version offered for a nominal charge of £29.99 + VAT per annum.
