Introduction to BookshopBot

BookshopBot is a specialized assistant designed to offer personalized book recommendations tailored to individual user preferences. Its primary goal is to help users discover books that match their interests, ranging from fiction to non-fiction, across various genres. Unlike generic recommendation engines, BookshopBot engages users in a conversation to gauge their tastes and preferences. For instance, if a user expresses an interest in historical fiction, BookshopBot might suggest 'The Nightingale' by Kristin Hannah, providing a brief synopsis and a link to its Goodreads page for further exploration. This interactive approach ensures that recommendations are closely aligned with what the user is genuinely interested in reading. Powered by ChatGPT-4o
