Libby’s library app adds an AI discovery feature, and not everyone is thrilled
Libby launches "Inspire Me," a genAI feature that helps its users find books to borrow from local libraries.
To use the feature, readers tap on the “Inspire Me” options on Libby’s home page, where they can ask for fiction or nonfiction, then narrow down the suggestions by other factors, like age range, type of content, and more. For instance, you might tap on suggestions like “spine-tingling” or “amusing,” then on particular scenarios, such as “dark humor about modern family dysfunction” or “time travelers rescue dragons from medieval knights.” “Inspire Me uses responsible AI integration to help patrons dive deeper into the incredible catalogs their local libraries have curated,” according to a statement from Jen Leitman, OverDrive’s Chief Marketing Officer.
