How can AI be used to search our own libraries in more detail?
AI's strength is in the generic/holistic view that can be obtained only by looking at many resources. Its overview may point me to resources to use as the jump off point for rabbit trails to explore with more precise searches or may alert me to alternative views I was unaware I needed to explore. But when I want details, AI is not my best friend.
I've found AI to be a quick and efficient way of extracting specific information from a vast sea of information. If I need to know if any church fathers mentioned a particular verse or commented on a specific subject, it can do this reasonably well. I can even ask for sources for any information, and it works well. But this is Google AI. I have not used ChaptGPT, and doing this with the Logos AI has been underwhelming. I've also found it somewhat helpful to reformat or reorganize a large article into an outline, etc. Where I find AI VERY beneficial in Logos is the smart Bible search. It is a simple idea, but it saves me a ton of time when I need to look up verses and quickly see all the verses in the Bible that deal with a particular topic, subject, theological idea, etc. It is great to ask Logos questions and have it return all relevant scriptures for that question. With that said, Logos' AI search is less effective when searching through my library.

I needed to restart Logos, and now when I tried to do an "All" search, that AI thing is there. How do I get rid of it?
Greetings, I just noticed the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (Amstelodamensis) in my library. I have a temporary license. I don't remember seeing this before (its copyright date is 2025) and any search on Logos.com returns no results. It looks like a new morph tagged toy to play with. I'll do a little digging on the…
I have a brand new Microsoft Surface Pro with Snapdragon X 10-core processor running Windows 11 Education system and cannot get the Logos keyboards to work. The generic Greek and Hebrew keyboards work, but their font maps are unfathomable. If I delete those generic keyboards and leave the Logos keyboards installed, the…
Dear Folk, I asked this some several weeks ago in a couple of posts, but fear it got buried in the suggestion/discussion. What should I expect in response and time to respond when I make a suggestion? If I suggest a resource I'd like to see in Logos, when/how will I know if the staff approves/ nixes, and when and where…
Quick question: where does the Lexham English Bible actually place Romans 16:25–27? I don’t see it in the main text (not at the end of ch. 14 or 16, and not even in brackets). Is it only in the textual notes/apparatus, or am I missing it somewhere in Logos?
