Yeah well, that's why I made the plugin I designed local, so you didn't have to send that information to BigTech companies, even a snippet.

These AI updates are so far behind the times anyway, Kovid may aswell of saved his time and effort on them. With Claude or OpenClaw ect. it's actually getting quite scary what you can do.. Now you don't need an API or to design plugins for outdated software with clunky GUIs anymore..

The AIs are now gaining the ability to control your computer or Docker container including the GUI themselves. No need for API keys or building custom plugins anymore. You can literally say to an AI Agent via Telegram Message:

"Find me the top 10 Vampire books in my collection and load them onto my Kindle, provide summaries and artwork to the ebooks if they don't have them"

Watch on your computer as the AI firest up the Chrome Browser, searches "Top 10 Vampire Novels" makes a list, opens up Calibre itself, checks the metadata for all the Vampire books in your collection. Downloads metadata and book covers then cross references everything to make sure it's correct. Any books it can't find a summary for, it opens the ebook and reads the full thing and types out a summary for you.. Embeds the metadata in the ebooks, then fires the books to your Kindle device, all while using the UI exactly like a Human would.

AI integrations are going to be pointless soon, as the AI can do exactly what you can do on a computer, automated..

In a few years Calibre will obsolete anyway, once AI bots have control over operating systems and the ability to code faster than a team of thousands of humans, it will build it's own eBook management system and do everything calibre can do and more..

Many software packages will fall by the wayside, why do you need a Human Interface to manage your ebooks, when AI can sort your ebook library out quicker and without human intervention with its own AI built software it just chucked together in seconds running under the hood?
