Thank you for doing this video. I have already subscribed and didn't know the extent of the features. Blessings!

I am so thankful I discovered your channel and watched this video! My Church purchased Logos Silver for me back around 2015 and I've since upgraded to Gold [Reformed]; that said, I had no idea what the thing can do lol ... watching this video and using the AI search to go through my own library for illustrations is a real life changer...had no idea how to do that before lol I know it seems silly but it was so overwhelming watching Logos videos about all the features and then, on the other hand, the Mobile Ed courses [at least the one I purchased] to learn the features are like for kindergartners ....that said I'm much looking forward to continual learning of this tool - Thank you again Pastor Tanner - God is good!

Really appreciate this concise overview of Logos Pro. I am in the free 30-day trial and will quite likely subscribe. I’ve been using Google’s Gemini and Microsoft’s Copilot for a few weeks with great success to help me prepare for my adult Bible study class; including generating discussion questions. Hoping that Logos Pro will now be my “go-to” AI source. Like you, I respect those who are skeptical of AI in Logos, but I have no issues with it at all.

@PastorTanner 4 месяца назад

Thank you, rpwood. Very neat that you have had experiences using other AI sources and so are able to compare. I hope they continue to expand the tools and are able to offer good value for regular subscribers.

@jacobandrewclark 4 месяца назад

There are some really useful things here! As someone who preaches infrequently I’m not likely to subscribe all the time but rather turn Pro on and off as needed. It seems like it would help me sift through my material a lot faster. My library isn’t huge and is generally pretty easy to navigate, but it’s big enough to at times get slightly overwhelming and confusing.

@PastorTanner 4 месяца назад

Yes, Jacob. I completely understand the sentiment. Ideally Pro would have an option that works well for occasional users. I will say it has really made it much easier for me to navigate my library. Just this week I nearly turned to Google to do some preliminary research. Then I thought, why not throw this question into the AI empowered search? I received excellent results from a resource I didn’t even know I had. For me, these tools are game changing. 👍

@johnwhite4991 4 месяца назад

I've been trying to shed subscriptions, so I was adamant that I would not add another one, not even Logos. Now your video has me ressessing that thought; maybe it would be worth it.

@GodExplained 4 месяца назад

Im using it and I love it. I work and go to seminary, and this saves so much time. For instance, I’m walking along a guy who is struggling with the deity of Jesus. I typed “arguments for the deity of Jesus” in the search bar, and then used the summary to find articles that cover good arguments. Then I found two that looked good, and got the info I needed in a few minutes by reading the actual entries. Brilliant

@PastorTanner 4 месяца назад

Amazing use case GodExplained. How valuable is that for leveraging the large libraries we can acquire in Logos? What a time to be alive!

@PaDutchRunner 4 месяца назад

This is completely refreshing in contrast to the cries of anguish against faithlife I’ve been hearing lol.

@PastorTanner 4 месяца назад

You’ll only ever get my own opinion here! Somewhat ironically, those users that benefit most from these features are those with the largest libraries, which are likely to be the longest standing users . . .

@PaDutchRunner 4 месяца назад

@JegErAlan 4 месяца назад

I appreciate the video. Liked and subscribed. With the search, could you find a way to only have it look at your library? Although I still like the AI feature overall, it seems to add way too much “not in your library, but you can quickly purchase it” noise (and I have a large library). I like the option of seeing what else is out there and available, but not by default.

@PastorTanner 4 месяца назад

Yes! I have found if you go to 'Books' under search on the far right side you can toggle from 'Precise' to 'Smart' search. If you then ensure that the only selection is 'Your Books' you should be able to dodge all advertisements. Hope this helps! Thanks for all the love and support. -tanner

I've engaged with ChaptGpt a lot before and it would sometimes get basic facts wrong but often times they're facts that you wouldn't think twice about, ones that need correcting but oftentimes the person receiving the information doesn't know enough about the topic to know that the information they received was wrong. So my question is, is that how can we know that the summarise tool is giving 100% accurate information? The problem with ChatGpt getting facts wrong wasn't because of the data inputted, it was the way in which it grabbed, chose and conveyed the data. The summarise tool on the surface seems to operate similarly in how it works. At 3:31 there's two conflicting answers for example. One says C.S. Lewis was an atheist, the other an agnostic. I mean obviously it can only convey the data inputted in the book and one book might call him an atheist and the other an agnostic, but the problem of knowing you have accurate information still stands in this regard. This might not be much of a problem when it comes to basic study, but when it comes to preaching there's a higher level of necessity to get the information correct. Both in terms of moral honesty and also for the sake of the congregants/our brothers and sisters. P.s. Thanks for your videos mate, I love them and they're very helpful.

@PastorTanner 4 месяца назад

Great comment, Augmenter. I have not previously used any ChatGPT, so I am pretty unaware of its limitations. I would say that I generally have more confidence in what we are seeing here in Logos due to it pulling directly from books. Usually that material is much better ‘vetted’ than ‘scraping’ the internet (is that the source material for ChatGPT?) Now, to your point it isn’t JUST the source material but also the logic behind what it is grabbing. However in Logos this might be partially mitigated by the fact that you can summarize so many separate sources back to back? If I reference 5 separate summaries for example, the one outlier might grab my attention rather than in ChatGPT where you only have one final output. In this sense you are interposing a human layer (yourself) as you check the summaries from each source. Time will tell of course, but so far I am very excited for the potential this feature has in Logos. Thanks for all of the love and support, Augmenter!! ❤️

@Augmenter 4 месяца назад

@@PastorTanner That makes a lot of sense, the limited amount of information that it's grabbing from would help in terms of the reliability of information also. One thing I was thinking about before also was how when you are summarising from multiple commentaries that it determines which of the conflicting information to convey? When it comes to Theology this would be a bit of a concern given that you can own 5 commentaries or systematic Theologies that all have different positions on the Rapture for example. The smart search looks fantastic so I'm not having a go at Logos for using AI, I just don't think I personally would be able to replace careful investigation with the summarise tool because it would be hard for me to trust that I'm getting something 100% reliable if you know what I mean. I'm sure that's different for everyone though.

@PastorTanner 4 месяца назад

Yes, the summary is relatively short, so I imagine if the original document had a lot of information it might miss some key comparisons. I’ll need to do further testing for sure.

@chapkenmat 4 месяца назад

AI is a very powerful tool, and it is already being used on many of our browsers. Logos use of AI has a lot of potential, but I cannot afford another subscription on my limited budget. In addition, it will take a lifetime for me to dig the depths of what currently logos has available in my very extensive use of the software.

@PastorTanner 4 месяца назад

I know exactly what you mean. I'm glad these tools are being implemented in the most powerful Bible Software on the planet. I agree however that I wish there was a way of using and accessing them that doesn't cost a subscription. We'll see what the team puts together.

@jesuschristbiblebiblestudy 4 месяца назад

Some good features. Logos could do better offering resources at fairer price points.

@PastorTanner 4 месяца назад

Yes. I think Logos has amazing tools and resources, but they have often been at steep prices. Logos is like the ‘Cadillac’ of Bible Study Software.

@chriskennedy8514 4 месяца назад

@PastorTanner 4 месяца назад

That’s correct, Chris. This is early access to some of the new tools. I will try to continue giving updates as they are rolled out to the early access.

@PastorTanner 4 месяца назад

@@IndianaJoe0321 I believe this will lead into the fall update. We don't have much info, but I believe there will be new 'base packages' as in previous iterations AND the new tools where they are going to be introducing this Logos Pro subscription model. That's my best guess at least.

@PastorTanner 3 месяца назад

I had a similar reaction, Dennis. I am increasingly finding awesome use cases for smart search especially. I show some of this off a bit in my recent livestream: ru-vid.com_6he6R7rgm0?si=eU-yfpSakjbN4Uxe&t=2236

@YoshiOST 4 месяца назад

i wonder how deterministic is it, so how willing would one read/utilize the summary word for word, two people getting the same summary 🤔

@PastorTanner 4 месяца назад

On the AI front exclusively, I have run the summary on the same section of a study bible with different but similar results. I think it highlights all of the most important sections well. As far as individual interpretation, I believe it is important for each reader to made good use of the resources themselves. In this sense I think that it is no different than the current situation with individual readers reading books. The only difference is that the summaries are 'AI' generated rather than 'human' generated.

correct - I’m not sure what the final pricing will be. It currently sounds like they are examining several different ‘tiers.’
