You’re correct. The hard line for me is ensuring that any scripture presented to the user is verified correct. LLMs can’t be trusted in this regard.

One feature of the app is that all scripture is verified and what’s show to the user doesn’t come from the LLM at all and instead a trusted source.

I think exploring scripture this way does not alleviate you from struggling to learn and apply it. It hasn’t for me.

I don't necessarily mean reguritating it, but choosing which part of the scripture to surface to the user is already some interpretation/choice. Even the devil can quote scripture (I'm playing the devil's advocate here).

Very true. The verses selected come from a tool call. The LLM queries the app for relevant verses. It picks the keywords - so perhaps there’s bias there but the verses are handed to the LLM.

But there are ways to control and constrain the LLMs and what the user is presented with.

These are all top of mind for me and why I felt there could be a better option than asking ChatGPT directly.

How polished is the experience, I see there is an invite link on the website.

It’s pretty polished but you’re asking the wrong person. Feedback has been positive so far :).
