Talpa is a search platform, designed to enhance library searches with precise, comprehensive data. Its primary function lies in its dual AI integration, using large language models from Anthropic and OpenAI, along with bibliographic data from Bowker, Syndetics Unbound from ProQuest, and LibraryThing. This ensures every result is accurate and credible.
Key benefits include an impressive ability to parse and understand natural-language search queries, returning results that meet the traditional library data parameters. It’s distinguished by its unique ability to cross-check every book or media item against a vast inventory of reliable, authentic data, thus eliminating false results.
One of its unique selling points is its deployment not just AI, but of human effort too – its accurate book-cover search feature is powered by the results from a game played by thousands of book lovers.
Talpa overhauls the traditional library search experience, creating an accurate, efficient, and intuitive solution through AI. With additional features unique to the market, it stands out as a practical and innovative tool, ensuring authentic results while being easily accessible to all libraries employed with Syndetics Unbound from ProQuest and LibraryThing.
