E-libraries host vast collections of digital books, journals, and resources. Users often struggle to find specific content or manage their accounts efficiently. Traditional search tools can be slow, and support staff are not always available to help.

AI chatbots enhance digital library services by guiding users to the right resources, answering account questions, and offering 24/7 assistance.

  • Upload FAQs on borrowing policies, digital access, and subscriptions.
  • Guide users to specific books, articles, or topics with natural queries.
  • Provide account support for renewals, holds, or password resets.
