AI and its place within the book trade

Could AI predict your bookshop's next bestseller?

There's been lots of chatter about AI in recent years. Some see it as a help, some as a hindrance. But what about its use within the book trade?

AI could be used to help you shift more books. Imagine knowing which titles will be the big hits this Christmas, and pre-ordering enough stock to meet demand. AI is being used in publishing to forecast reader trends and show us which books will be the most popular.

For bookshops, this could mean smarter stock decisions and fewer costly returns.
