New feature (v36): Smart Search Synopsis
Comments
-
I just wanted to chime in and say that Synopsis is an incredible feature! This is a perfect example of how AI can be used ethically and intelligently in an academic setting.
My ONE bit of feedback, as some others have mentioned, is I think there really should be a way to continue the conversation, much like how you can in ChatGPT and others. There should be an option to open up a chat "window", which continues to draw information from your library.
Apart from that, this is such a great feature. I know some may say people should do it the "Old fashioned way", but times change. When leveraged properly, tools like Synopsis can save hours and hours of mundane combing through books when trying to find relevant information. With this, we can be taken straight to the relevant info, and put more precious time into actually performing the task. Well done Logos!1 -

Yes! And I'm very friendly with the "old fashioned way".

NoGO: Provide list of Bible verses referencing the Name of God and or the Name of Jesus
Why doesn't Smart Search provide the list of verses that reference God's Name or Jesus' Name? What am I missing or doing wrong, please?
Question, in Bible searches from the Books Tab (there doesn't appear to be a Smart Search option in the Bible Tab), will Smart Search utilize metadata and interlinear data?
Would the highest tier, Max, subscription provide the answer - a complete list of verses referencing the Name of God and or the Name of Jesus?

My platform does not provide for Smart Bible Search; is this a feature limited to a Max subscription? Thanks for the assist!

It is not currently available (in any subscription). The examples Mark and Bradley showed above were from internal builds
We don't know when it will be ready for testing or general release.

Good day. My program settings for double-click should be irrelevant. My point is that the Platform should not use A.I. credit as a default because it is at cost and the subscriber should have command and control over when and how it is employed. Whatever any preference is, A.I. credit usage should not be automatic, but chosen, because it is at cost.

In a recent webinar, it was announced that Smart Bible Search would be available in v40.0, which should be released on or around Feb. 25th:

Where are credits used "as a default"?

Query: "what are the bible verses about Ezekiel's vision with Angels"
What say you, please?

Brother, when I double-click on a text to conduct a Look-up function, the Platform automatically performs an A.I. Search, using a credit from my monthly credits, BY DEFAULT (i.e. automatically regardless of whether I want to perform an A.I. Search at credit cost or not.). The subscriber should be able to choose A.I. credit-charging Search or a regular Precise Search, or configure one's Preference in Program Settings.
Sorry, if that wasn't clear.

The Smart Bible Search - currently in beta - handles this quite well

The screenshots show that the search was performed in Precise mode. I'm not sure why that was. Did you get any indication you were in Precise mode? Have you run out of AI credits, perhaps?
In Smart mode, you would have seen something like this:

@Top8305 Brother, when I double-click on a text to conduct a Look-up function, the Platform automatically performs an A.I. Search,
The double-click "Look-up function" performing a Search does not make sense. My double-click does what it says in Program Settings (i.e. a Look-up) and I have to perform a Triple-click for a Search.
On opening, your Search panel may perform a Smart Search (I don't know), but if you switch to Precise it will use that mode thereafter. I recommend you have a Search panel as part of your layout.

Good day Mark,
I ran the query twice in A.I. mode (in "ALL" Tab) which the little Icon indicates. As for my Credits, I have a MAX subscription with 4 queries run for the month. What indicates to you that the q-run was a precise run?
Thanks for the tip to run from my Library ("Books" Tab) and not from "ALL" Tab; the results answers the question, along with balderdash hits - but the answers are there. Thanks for the training!0 -

It looks like a precise search because the results indicate the search engine is returning any articles where all the words you included in the search field are present.
It does not seem to be doing any analysis on those results to return the most relevant, which a Smart Search should

I agree with this. Having more flexibility with how the AI Smart Search works would be great. An ability to ask follow up questions, options to have it include a greater number of resources in its response, longer responses, all would be very valuable options. And, an option to increase the number of "AI Credits" or purchase additional packs of them beyond the monthly allotment that comes with the subscriptions would be great, because I make significant use of this feature.
I would also add that I have only been using Logos for about 6 months, but this feature alone has been extremely powerful when writing research papers for school and has saved me countless hours of manual searching for specific information on various topics.
