The folks at LibraryThing recently released Talpa.AI, an AI-powered book search tool that can search metadata - including cover images from LibraryThing's collection.
In our Library AI workshops, we mention the potential of AI-based tools like ChatGPT to assist with library services like Readers Advisory ("RA"). However, until recently, we only had anecdotal examples of how ChatGPT performed at this task.
So, we've spent some time lately figuring out how to methodically explore ChatGPT's capability as an RA tool. It's slow going -- we've just dipped our toe in the water, so to speak -- but we see some great potential!
