Thanks to a technology in use at ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence conversational agent developed by OpenAI, the BnL's experts have indexed the digitised Luxembourg documents and prepared a high-performance database that enables semantic searches to be carried out. This breakthrough marks a major milestone in the BnL's mission to offer easier and richer access to its digitised Luxembourg resources.

It should be noted that the chatbot is a free experimental tool that can be accessed remotely. To use it, all you need to do is log in using your reader's card or a Google account.

The chatbot can be accessed at this address: chat.eluxemburgensia.lu.

For further information on how to use the chatbot, please consult the online help: chat.eluxemburgensia.lu/info.
