A few days ago the Odilo company ad interesting news. So much Odilo as the Finnish company Claned signed a collaboration agreement That will pay off your customers. Claned, possibly the most unknown name of this association, is a Finnish company specializing in the education sector.
Your clients will receive the titles that Odilo currently offers. This supposes a catalog of 1,1 million titles editorials. But Odilo will also benefit from Claned and not by receiving money but by sharing services and synergies.
Claned, in addition to entering the educational world, has an Artificial Intelligence technology that Odilo will receive to enhance its services. This technology is oriented to the educational world but it can also be focused on the publishing world, being a great help when choosing an editorial title. That is why this collaboration agreement is interesting, because in a short time it will make the few users of loan of ebooks from Spanish libraries have a virtual librarian to recommend a good title or similar titles to read if we really liked the ebook.
Claned will provide Odilo with artificial intelligence to recommend ebooks and services
In recent months, ebookstores and services like Overdrive are including artificial intelligence and bots to offer an improved service to their customers, something more personal and less robotic. It seems that after the agreement between Odilo and Claned, Odilo and the Spanish libraries will have this technology, although I really don't know if the users of these services will also take advantage of it or they will be forgotten as the new ebook loan service.
In any case, we will have to wait a few days or even months to receive these recommendations, although we can always choose to go to our usual library and ask that man (or woman) who is always in the library with books, surely his recommendations help us .
