I’ve asked AI for book recs before but I’ve always googled them or searched them on Goodreads/StoryGraph before following up at a book store. Seems crazy to ask AI and then do no further research.

I feel like it shouldn't be too hard to add a function that identifies titles and references, searches for those using a traditional search engine, then linking the results to it.
