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 am running Logos on my MacBook, and have been for some time, and I have been wondering for a while why it seems like every time I load Logos, and every time I switch Layouts, it goes from Full Screen to not full screen.

I mostly like the new reading plan tool; it certainly looks better than the old. However, one thing I do not like is the new list view for non-Bile books. Previously, it showed the range of pages to be read each day. Now, it shows the section heading where the reading begins. This isn't very useful unless you have the…
