## Add to Anything project

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the integration">
    1. In your Anything project, type `/` in the chat
    2. Select "OpenLibrary" from the menu
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start using">
    You can now use prompts with the integration to access book data.

    Example prompts:

    * `Search for books about AI with /OpenLibrary`
    * `Get details about this book using /OpenLibrary`
    * `Create a reading list app with /OpenLibrary`

    <Warning>
      The API limits how often your app can fetch data. If your app loads the same data often, ask the agent to save it locally so it doesn't re-fetch every time.
    </Warning>

    Example prompt for optimization:

    ```
    When using /OpenLibrary, save the book details so my app doesn't have to fetch them again
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Your OpenLibrary integration is ready! Use `/OpenLibrary` in chat to access book data.
