Pretty solid recommendations. I picked a specific topic and chose three books that I've read about it and it recommended two other books that I have on my list, one that I have heard good things about but have decided against reading it and one that I haven't heard about and will check out.
Though as always, the problem with book recommendations is not that it's hard to find books about a specific topic, the problem is finding books that are a) good and b) different enough from other books I've read about a topic so as not to be very repetitive.
If this could solve a) I'd be very happy, though I cannot see how it would accomplish that.
The best attempt at solving this for myself was just going by book recommendations from actual people, but even that is hit or miss. Many people recommend books about a topic on which they've only read that one book and so they don't actually have anything to compare their book to. A book recommendation like that doesn't contain information about how good a book is, just if the one who read it liked it.
So in my opinion this is actually a pretty difficult problem and I'm not sure throwing an llm at it (I'm assuming that's what the ai in the title refers to) will solve it.
If you want to compare books, I've got a project for that: https://findsight.ai I use it for my learning as a PM to skip over books that just copy & paste from each other.
A related project is https://shepherd.com - but it focuses on high quality human suggestions.

Still, it's a neat project.
