Introduction to ReadRecs

ReadRecs is designed as a book recommendation agent aimed at enhancing the experience of discovering new books for readers by leveraging their existing book collections or favorite titles. At its core, ReadRecs functions by extracting details from users' bookshelves, either through images or textual lists, and then validating these details to ensure accuracy. Following this, ReadRecs generates personalized book recommendations that align with the users' preferences and reading history. For instance, if a user uploads an image of their bookshelf featuring a predominance of mystery novels, ReadRecs will analyze this information to recommend new mystery titles that the user might enjoy, considering factors like language, publication year, and authors to fine-tune its suggestions.
