Ask the library like ChatGPT — answers only from Ambedkar’s books
AIM’s text library already held Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s writings online. We added Ask Library — a ChatGPT-style assistant that answers only from the library books, with citations, Open book links, English / Hindi / Marathi support, voice input, and a full-screen Assistant with chat history.
Product screens
What users actually see
Live screens from the AIM Text Library and full Library Assistant — floating Ask Library on the shelf, then the maximized Assistant with history, citations, and Open book links.
The challenge
Why this was needed
AIM’s e-library let visitors browse and read important books — but discovery stayed manual. Members still had to search page by page across English and Indic texts. The client needed AI that feels like ChatGPT, without inventing content outside Ambedkar’s corpus and the mission library.
What we built
Solution in short
We delivered a WordPress-native Library Assistant inside the existing AIM site: floating Ask Library on book pages, a ChatGPT-like panel with Maximize to a full Assistant, answers grounded in real book pages, citations with Open book deep links, multilingual voice, and member-only chat history — without breaking live library features.

Client feedback
What this project meant for the client
“Ask Library turned our e-books into a living conversation. Members ask in their own words and land on the exact page — it feels modern, but stays faithful to Ambedkar’s writings.”

“We needed AI that members would actually trust. The team didn’t bolt on a generic chatbot — they built an assistant that reads from our library, cites the book, and opens the paragraph. The ChatGPT-style full screen with history is exactly what our users expected.”
AIM Library stakeholders · Knowledge & Digital Outreach · Ambedkar International Mission
“From voice questions in Marathi to opening the cited page in one tap — this is how a mission library should use AI: helpful, grounded, and member-first.”
