Natural Language Interface For Book Discovery And Exploration

Unique: Unified conversational interface that routes queries to multiple backends (search, Q&A, summaries) based on inferred intent, rather than separate search and Q&A interfaces. This creates a more natural exploration experience but requires robust intent classification.

vs others: More intuitive than separate search and Q&A interfaces (e.g., Goodreads) because users can ask questions naturally; more discoverable than keyword search because conversational queries can express complex intents (e.g., 'books like X but about Y').
