The problem it solves

You want to keep reading and discovering new books, but deciding what to read next and remembering to look takes more effort than it should. Good recommendations get lost between browser tabs and to-read lists you never revisit.

Who it fits

Anyone who wants a steady stream of book ideas without having to search for them.

How it works

  1. Every Friday, the automation runs on schedule
  2. It requests a book suggestion from a public library catalog for your chosen subject
  3. It formats the recommendation with title and details
  4. It emails you the recommendation
What you get

A new book idea delivered weekly

Get a fresh book recommendation delivered to your inbox every Friday.

What you get

A weekly email with a new book recommendation and details.

What you need

An email account able to send messages.

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.
