AI Feature: "AI Library Curator" or "AI Logos Librarian"

Anderson Abreu

I would like to suggest a new AI-based feature for Logos, which could be called:

→ Library Curator

→ Logos Librarian

→ Bibliography Consultant

(Or any other name that properly reflects this function.)

■ Feature Description:

The idea is to offer a tool where the user informs the "Librarian" about the topic, theological subject, biblical text, or specific issue they are researching. The AI would then perform an intelligent analysis of the user's entire library and suggest which books, chapters, or even specific sections are the most relevant and useful for that research.

■ Purpose:

To help users with large Logos libraries explore their resources more efficiently. Many times, excellent insights are hidden in books that are not directly categorized under the main topic of research but offer valuable connections, theological, historical, or practical perspectives that would not normally be discovered through a simple keyword search.

■ Practical Example:

Suppose I am studying the "doctrine of adoption." The Library Curator could, in addition to pointing out books that directly address this topic, also suggest passages from commentaries, systematic theologies, counseling books, or even biographies that indirectly but meaningfully discuss the subject.

Furthermore, this tool could highlight works that, although not the most obvious choices for that topic, contain significant discussions often overlooked by a simple keyword search.

■ Benefit:

This would make Logos not just a search and reading software but a true theological research assistant, capable of helping pastors, scholars, and students make much better use of their libraries, which are often underutilized due to the challenge of navigating through thousands of titles and contents.

I believe this could be another incentive to make better use of our vast Logos libraries. Today, my library has over 10,000 books.

How does this differ from a smart book search? Asking to verify I understand what you are requesting.

A librarian can tell me which books I need to read and explain why they are useful for me.
He doesn't give me search results, but tells me which books are worth reading on a given subject.
