My favorite use so far has been giving it a copy of my Calibre library. After having it write a few scripts and a skill, I can ask it questions about any book I’m reading.

This week I had it order a series internally chronological.

I could use the search on my Kindle or open Calibre myself, but a Signal message is much faster when it’s already got the SQLite file right there.

This is interesting. Do you mean this is like chat with your book, or these are books you've already finished reading which you have a query over to ask? And does it search raw book text or metadata?

  • I add books to Calibre in order to load them on my Kindle. Claw gets the Calibre files, including both metadata.db and full-text-search.db, via Syncthing.

    I can ask it to perform metadata updates, since it's a two-way sync, or ask questions about the content.
