Finding the right AI tool: Is my use case possible/can AI help me do this?

I love the idea of AI† as a productivity tool, and have just started to think about how it might help streamline some of my tasks, assisting with what might otherwise be quite laborious/lengthy activities. I have the below task I need to get done, and was thinking that AI might be helpful.

What, if any, AI tool(s) would you recommend for this?

Ultimate Goal: catalogue a very large collection of ebooks and audio books in a book library service (like [https://www.bookshelfapp.info](Bookshelf)), using the filaments in Dropbox as a starting point.

Details: I have my collection saved in Dropbox, with each file saved using the book title as the file name. The books are carried by theme (academic and then sub folders by broad subject, non-academic and then broad themes/genre etc). I’d like AI to do the following (I understand this may involve multiple asteroids using different services):

  1. Create a csv by looking up the file names in a Dropbox folder and copying them into the csv file as a separate line item for each file.
  2. Using this csv file, lookup and capture the ISBN for each title.
  3. I could then edit and upload the file to Bookshelf.

Am I dreaming? Is any of this possible?

Although I do have concerns regarding misuse in education settings.
