Abstract
Artificial intelligence provides human-like interaction with software and offers support for
specific tasks. Currently, libraries have been automated, and cataloguing can be performed
easily. This study focuses on understanding the efficiency of AI chatbots in cataloguing
manuscripts. This study was conducted using 50 random manuscript titles from the catalogue
of the Oriental Research Institute & Manuscript Library, Thiruvananthapuram. Using the
same prompt, the investigator used AI chatbots to identify the details of manuscripts, such as
title, author, language, and script. Controlled experiments, load testing, response time
measurements, and comparative analyses were performed using the data. Different chatbots
have different abilities to return information. The ability of chatbots has been compared and
evaluated at various stages in the classification process of a manuscript
