The Book Summarizer

Inspiration:

I always wanted to learn more about AI/Gen AI but was pushing it back as I am not a coder and I always thought that it needs some coding experience and it's mostly for people with developer backgrounds. But when I heard about this hackathon using no code Partyrock playground you can bring your creativity LIVE, I jumped on to it.

Project:

I always want to read many books but I don't find time and you can say I am lazy. Sometimes you want to know a bit summary of the book before you decide to purchase a copy. There I got the idea, why not create an app that can get you the essence of the book and even chat with AI pretending as a book author to address your questions.

What it does:

This app takes Genre as input and LLM will list the best 10 book titles in that genre. You have to pick one title from the list generated and LLM will show you the summary of the book. If you want to know more about the book, you can also chat with AI who is pretending as the author of the book.

How I built it:

I used input widgets in PartyRock to take the desired genre as input from the user.
Another Gen AI widget will list down 10 bestselling books based on the given Genre.
The user has to pick one title and write the title down in another input widget.
Another Gen AI widget will take the Title supplied by the user from the previous widget and generate the essence of the book and key ideas.
Another chatbot Widget acts as an author of the Book title selected by the user to answer any questions or curiosity of the user.

Challenges we ran into:

Not much, the playground is pretty good but it lacks flexibility and creativity. I can think if it can allow you to insert more if and but a very good app can be created.
