Searching through history just got a whole lot easier! 💬🔍 Imagine trying to find one specific story or local perspective buried inside hours of recorded interviews and thousands of pages of text. That’s the challenge of digging through oral history archives. To solve this, the American University of Kuwait (AUK) teamed up with Zendy to launch the AUK Oral History AI Assistant. Now, instead of manually skimming through massive collections, users can just ask questions in plain, natural language to discover Kuwait’s rich social and cultural history. This is such a fantastic use case of AI—not just for processing data, but for making human stories and memories more accessible to students and researchers. Kudos to Asma Al-Kanan and the library team at AUK for pioneering a way to make history more interactive, accessible, and impactful!
