Introduction to Book Scout

Book Scout is designed as a specialized tool to enhance the reading journey of book enthusiasts. Its primary function is to provide tailored book recommendations based on user-input criteria such as specific book names, links, or even images of book covers. Additionally, it offers curated lists of essential readings for specific authors, ranked from the most renowned or best-selling works to lesser-known ones. This functionality allows users to not only discover new books that match their tastes but also explore an author's repertoire in a structured manner. For example, a user interested in starting with Neil Gaiman's works can get a list ranked by popularity or critical acclaim, helping them to decide where to start. Powered by ChatGPT-4o
