SMART SEARCH

Search by mood

Type how you feel, what you want, where you are — get one to three books from your shelf in return. Powered by an AI of your choice, using your own key.

Bring your own key. We detect the provider automatically from the key you paste. We recommend Google Gemini — it has a generous free tier that needs no credit card, and works beautifully for this.

Privacy: Your key is stored only in this browser's localStorage. Every search query goes from your browser straight to the provider's API — nothing routes through any server we run.

Cost: You pay the provider directly. A 50-call cap per session prevents runaway spend.
