Robot Librarian

About BookyBooks

A robot librarian—built from someone's reading history, opinions, and occasionally questionable taste.

It's catalogued every book they've read, every star they've given, and every review they've written. Ask it anything about books, and it'll tell you what they think. Whether you want that is another matter.

How it works

  1. 1.Export your Goodreads library as CSV
  2. 2.Upload it to create your robot librarian
  3. 3.Share with friends for personalized recommendations

Why this exists

Built by Simon Schenker as a hobby project.

For years, ChatGPT couldn't do book recommendations properly. Even with a full Goodreads CSV export, it would still suggest books already read. Frustrating.

BookyBooks fixes this: your entire reading history is baked in, so it never recommends books you've read. Share your library with friends so they can get recommendations based on your taste. Free to use (as long as hosting costs stay reasonable).
