Discovery guide
Recommend books, collections and resources based on stated interests, reading level or purpose.
IndustryBrandbot-powered discovery
Turn searching into discovering.
Notso.ai creates Brandbots that help people find books, explore activities, understand membership and continue learning across the website, mobile and the physical library.
One familiar guide for collections, events, learning and membership.
Trusted by ambitious teams and institutions.
Start with an ordinary question
A library contains more than most visitors know how to ask for
Books, workshops, digital resources, courses, research support, children's activities and community events may all be available. Yet much of that value remains hidden behind menus, catalog fields and separate calendars.
I need a book for my ten-year-old who loves robots.
Make discovery feel broader than a search result.
A recognizable guide can connect collections, programs, events and learning through one approachable conversation.
Four connected roles
Membership host
Explain services, lower the barrier for new visitors and guide people toward registration or a trial activity.
Event promoter
Match workshops, talks and activities to the visitor instead of leaving the full calendar to be searched manually.
Learning companion
Discuss literature, explain a theme, create a quiz or support an educational activity using approved material.
Across the physical and digital library
Website
Answer practical questions, recommend material and surface events.
Mobile
Continue discovery at home or through a QR code inside the library.
Kiosk
Offer a recognizable help point without requiring a staffed desk for every routine question.
Campaigns
Let the same Brandbot promote membership, reading programs, workshops and seasonal themes across social, email and outdoor media.
What else your Brandbot can support.

- Reservation system
- Event calendar
What cultural teams can learn
- What people want to read, learn or attend
- Which questions prevent membership or participation

Business and public value
