It's technologically possible, but the 'user intent guessing' makes this messy. The Venn diagram of people who understand information seeking behavior and science well enough to design this and people who have a deep enough understanding of development to design it in a way that it doesn't break every 3 seconds is two circles.
So you'd need a team, and as somebody with a tech and a library background, good luck getting those two groups to communicate and work together. Doing it without the information seeking background just recreates the issues with the modern web where your 'robot butler' comes back with a ton of irrelevant information, and doing it without the tech background just gets you a bunch of librarians high-fiving themselves over 'solving' a problem using outdated tech and is used by 20 people because it doesn't scale well.
