Talking to Your Librarian
Get the most out of conversations with your AI librarian — what to ask and how it can help.
Your AI librarian knows your entire collection and can help you discover connections, get recommendations, and explore your taste in new ways.
What Your Librarian Can Do
Recommendations
Ask for suggestions based on mood, context, or similarity:
- “What should I watch tonight?”
- “I’m in the mood for something melancholy”
- “Find me a book like Project Hail Mary”
- “What album would go well with a rainy Sunday?”
Pattern Discovery
Your librarian notices patterns you might miss:
- “What themes do you see across my collection?”
- “What do my favorite albums have in common?”
- “Why do I keep gravitating toward these kinds of books?”
Deep Dives
Explore specific items or connections:
- “Tell me more about the making of OK Computer”
- “How does Dune connect to other sci-fi in my collection?”
- “What’s the story behind this album?”
Media Previews
Your librarian can share relevant content:
- YouTube videos — Interviews, behind-the-scenes, analysis
- Music previews — 30-second clips from albums in your library
Just ask: “Show me something about [item]” or “Play a preview from [album]“
Tips for Better Conversations
Be Specific About Context
Instead of “recommend something,” try:
- “Recommend a book for a long flight”
- “What should I watch with my partner who likes comedies?”
- “I want something challenging but rewarding”
Ask Follow-Up Questions
Your librarian remembers the conversation:
- “Why that one?”
- “What else is similar?”
- “Tell me more about the author”
Share Your Reactions
Help your librarian learn your taste:
- “I loved that recommendation”
- “That wasn’t quite right — I prefer slower pacing”
- “More like the first suggestion”
Managing Your Library
You can also manage your collection through conversation:
- “Mark Dune as currently reading”
- “Rate The Office 5 stars”
- “Add a note to OK Computer: saw them live in 2017”
- “What have I rated 5 stars?”
Privacy Note
Your conversations and library are private. Your librarian only knows what you’ve added to Achriom — it doesn’t have access to your other apps or browsing history.
