Really, is too unreliable to take the risk to me.

That say, this idea of a "How to..." ask box is not bad, but other solutions should be considered than LLM before.
Personaly, I suggest to first start to have integrate FAQ into Calibre, possibly even the all manual really easy to open. Like, when pressing F1 rather to open the online manual, open a local version of the manual in the viewer.
Unfortunately most people don't read manuals, no matter how easily accessible they are. They take one look and then they go complaining how they can't figure out what to do and how it's not intuitive at all, and how that other program is much simpler to use.
