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.

As one example, I see that "NT" & "OT" identify "Quotes" from the "NT" & "OT", but don't see a…
I know that hermeneutics is interpretation of God's Word, but what am I missing? Am I missing anything? The best interpretation of the Bible comes from the Holy Spirit revealing the hidden meanings. I am halfway through my Pastoral Counseling and Addiction Recovery master's class. It is a shortened version rather than…
I am trying to find a quote from a secondary source in the primary one. In this case, an author quoted Tertullian. I want to see this in Tertullian. I am aware that a lot of ancient works have multiple translations, so individual words may not be the same. So I am trying short phrases to help me find the original. I tried…
When I put my program in full screen three of my menus in the pull down menus at the top do not work correctly: Layouts, Tools and Guides. If I click on them they flash down and then close. They never open fully. I have had this problem since Apple updated its OS to Tahoe. I have reported it several times but seem to get…
