This article came just in the nick of time. I'm in fandoms that lean heavily into fanfiction, and there's a LOT out there on Ao3. Ao3 has the worst search (and yo can't even search your account's history!), so I've been wanting to create something like this as a tool for the fandom, where we can query "what was the fic about XYZ where ABC happened?" and get hopefully helpful responses. I'm very tired of not being able to do this, and it would be a fun learning experience.

I've already got the data mostly structured because I did some research on the fandom last year, charting trends and such, so I don't even need to massage the data. I've got authors, dates, chapters, reader comments, and full text already in a local SQLite db.

I did something similar to this for all the Cosmere stuff. I wanted to be able to find answers but only with the information I had read been exposed to so far. I didn't want to risk going to the wiki and getting spoilers for things I haven't read yet. It wasn't anything fancy, it was just giving the agent access to all the text I had read up to my current chapter. Probably too much context for it to handle efficiently - would be awesome to take it one step further and do it proper
