Start with what you've read.

Get to know your own taste

A profile built from evidence

Your ratings reveal patterns. Your reviews explain why. ShelfSprite brings them together into a profile you can recognize, question, and refine.

Each trait points back to your books. Confirm what fits, reject what doesn't, and let your profile grow with your reading.

There is room on the shelf

Ask for an invite

ShelfSprite is a personal project, and accounts are opened by hand. Leave your email and I will be in touch when there is a spot.

You do not need a Goodreads account. You can start by adding books yourself or filling in the provided CSV template. ShelfSprite uses your own Anthropic API key for its AI features.
