Legible’s LibrarianAI has the potential to turbocharge conversion rates, driving sales and engagement by helping customers find the perfect book to read and much more. Global eBook sales were an estimated USD$20 billion in 2022 and are projected to reach USD$32 billion by 2032 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9% from 2022 to 2032.

“AI is quickly being adopted worldwide and will soon be integrated into many aspects of our personal lives and business transactions. Legible is extremely well positioned to be part of that future thanks to our fully vectorized content and proprietary machine learning algorithms,” said Kaleeg Hainsworth, CEO of Legible. “This is an exciting time for AI and the entire publishing industry, and we can’t wait to launch the LibrarianAI and Legible Unbound.
