Product Roadmap

Here’s a breakdown of our progress, from completed tasks to ongoing work and what's next for MarcAI.

Backlog

  • Support UniMARC.
  • Allow libraries to easily use a fine-tuned AI model specifically crafted for MARC records

In progress

  • Allow libraries to add more librarians (users) to the same organization with proper roles and permissions.

Shipped

  • Use Vision AI to extract MARC21 records from book images only.
  • Allow catalogers to provide additional prompts per submission, so the generated MARC record follows the specific instructions.
  • Allow libraries to configure generic rules (prompts) to ensure that all generated MARC records follow them.
  • Design proper constraints for AI to ensure it always produces valid MARC records.
  • Convert AI responses into binary MARC21 format, allowing users to download the records.
  • Enable librarians to integrate with the Koha ILS and add bibliographic entries directly from MarcAI.
  • Allow libraries to add their own OpenAI key.
  • Display a dashboard of usage statistics (total tokens used, total OpenAI cost in USD).
  • Support copy cataloging, allowing librarians to provide a list of ISBNs, and MarcAI will browse Z39.50 or the web to retrieve MARC records on their behalf.
