What is Ask Jules?

Ask Jules is an AI librarian feature within Hardcover, a social platform built for book readers. It helps users discover books, get recommendations, and answer questions about literature through conversational AI. Rather than browsing lists manually, you can ask Jules questions about plots, characters, genres, or find books matching specific criteria. The tool works alongside Hardcover's other features like reading tracking, series management, and social connections with other readers. It's designed for people who want faster, more natural ways to explore what to read next.
