Talk to Books

Talk to Books is an experimental AI-powered tool by Google that lets users search over 100,000 books using natural language questions or statements, returning relevant passages directly from book text rather than links. Developed under Google's Semantic Experiences initiative and led by Ray Kurzweil, it uses a semantic model trained on conversational data to match query meaning—not just keywords—with the most contextually fitting sentences across its book corpus. Users can explore a wide range of topics, filter by book category, and click through to view full pages on Google Books, making it a powerful resource for researchers, students, and curious readers alike.
