[Koha] Integrating Vision AI / GPT for cataloging in Koha

[Arthur Suzuki]

Hello Karam,
I would be interested to get more details from your project, or make 
some tests of your tool.
Since you don't share the sources *yet*, is there anyway to try out your 
tool? maybe available as a website or as a pre-compiled binary?
I've also seen you use OpenAI or Gemini, but you also mentionned some 
vector store, does it mean a company would need to host a vector store 
to make it working?
Or can it work with only OpenAI paid account?
What about compatibility with other MARC formats? I'm thinking about 
Unimarc.
Best,
Arthur
