ChatBook

ChatBook is a Generative AI-powered chat service where users can have a conversation with books. It provides responses based on the content ingested (e.g. published books, and NLB’s online resources).
通過聊天的方式，系統會回應讀者問題，而回應內容生成自書籍及NLB 線上資源所摘取的資訊。
Two versions – a web version (for academics and researchers) and a WhatsApp version (for the general public) will be developed. For the web version, ChatBook will cite and show previews of the source it has used so that users can go further in their reading and discovery.
將推出Web版及 WhatsApp 版，Web版會提供回答內容所引用的資料來源。
Through ChatBook, users can engage or even “debate” with books in an interactive manner. Users will also be prompted to either buy or borrow the books, or delve deeper into NLB’s online resources.
Besides the published books, ChatBook can also draw from other content that authors have written for their books but did not use eventually, as well as other sources they have drawn from – almost like a director’s cut of the books.
NLB is launching user testing for ChatBook based on the book Seven Hundred Years: A History of Singapore by Kwa Chong Guan, Derek Heng, Peter Borschberg and Tan Tai Yong, as well as NLB’s online resources by the end of this year.

StoryGen

StoryGen uses Generative AI to transform stories in text form into a visual and multimedia experience. Users can exercise their creativity to present well-loved stories in their own ways. For example, they can see a scene of the boy and the garfish in Sejarah Melayu come alive through images generated through AI, or take it further and present it in another genre like sci-fi. This product can be an immersive experience that visitors can go through. NLB will launch the prototype at a public library in 2024.
使用生成式 AI 將文字形式的故事轉換為視覺和多媒體體驗。讀者可以發揮創造力，以自己的方式呈現深受喜愛的故事。
