BookSurfAI is a free AI tool that recommends books based on your preferences.
It uses advanced AI technologies, such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), to analyze your input and suggest titles you’ll enjoy.
I tested BookSurfAI with a book that shaped my web development career: “Don’t Make Me Think” by Steve Krug. The results were spot-on.
It suggested the updated version of Krug’s classic, along with other essential reads in web design and user experience.
The recommendations extended beyond web design, touching on productivity, entrepreneurship, and computer science. This range shows BookSurfAI’s ability to understand the broader context of a user’s interests.
How to use it:
1. Visit the BookSurfAI website and enter a book title in the search bar. This could be a favorite book, a recent read, or even a book you disliked.
2. Hit the search button. The AI gets to work, analyzing your input and generating a personalized list of recommendations.
To further test the tool, I searched for “Dune” by Frank Herbert and quickly received recommendations like “Foundation: The Foundation Trilogy, Book 1,” “Red Rising,” and “Rebecca.” This showcases the tool’s ability to span genres and match user preferences accurately.
3. BookSurfAI is still under development, but the creators have ambitious plans. They aim to expand the book database, increase the number of recommendations provided, and reduce response time even further.
