The problem it solves

Deciding whether a book is worth your time means reading reviews across several sites and comparing it to similar titles. You want a quick, trustworthy take before you buy, not an hour of research.

Who it fits

Readers, book clubs, or content creators who want quick, well-researched book recommendations delivered by email.

How it works

  1. You submit a book title through a simple form
  2. The system looks up the book's details and searches for real reviews
  3. An AI reads the research and writes an explanation of why the book is worth reading, plus three similar recommendations
  4. You receive a formatted email with the summary and purchase links, and the request is logged in a spreadsheet
What you get

Book picks explained before you buy

Name a book and get an emailed summary with reasons to read it plus similar picks and buy links.

What you get

A ready-to-read email summary of the book with related recommendations and purchase links.

What you need

Accounts for Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Custom Search, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
