BibleMind is not a generic Bible chatbot. It is a study workbench: grounded Ask with citation audit, Read and Compare with offline corpus packs, Passage Guide, Study Projects, and exportable Study Packs — with streaming receipts and honest limits on hosted AI.
Engines help you study; they do not speak for God. BibleMind is proprietary software — not open source.
After sign-in, these surfaces are the product — linked by passage context, projects, and exports.
Tradition-aware answers with citation audit, evidence panels, and inspectable streaming receipts.
Chapter reading with verse highlights, margin notes, and word study — corpus packs work offline.
Side-by-side translations with synced scroll and honest gaps when a verse is missing from a pack.
One briefing per passage: units, chains, synopsis, variants, scholar hits, and your margins.
Persistent research trails across surfaces. Export what you built; nothing is implied proof by default.
Guided study packs you export and import. Sharing is file-based today — no congregation sync yet.
Two Individual accounts can pair and run a shared Reading Together session from Read (shipped; not org billing).
Workspace profiles (Individual / Church / Congregation) in Settings organize study on this device. They are not seat licenses — Church and Seminary org billing stays fail-closed until it actually exists.
Inspectability, local text, and clear routing — instead of a fake-neutral “Christian GPT” voice.
Ask runs through evidence verification and answer citation audit. Unverified verse references are stripped or flagged before you rely on them — plus receipts you can read while the answer streams.
Install corpus packs for deterministic Read, Compare, Concordance, and Lexicon without calling a model. Ask still needs connectivity for hosted or home inference — we do not claim “always offline Ask.”
Optional BYOK and home endpoints (Ollama, LM Studio, OpenAI-compatible). Fallback policy is explicit — private prompts are not silently rerouted to BibleMind-hosted inference.
Denomination and tradition presets shape Ask framing and show up in receipts. They are study lenses you choose — not official church statements or theological infallibility.
Free and Individual are the only purchasable plans. Hosted usage is metered and capped — not sold as unlimited. We do not sell Church seats until org billing is real.
Synopsis, variants, and witness records come with bibliographic limits — not a Logos-scale library replacement. Atlas voices are generated summaries; belief genealogy is curated-topic only.
Multi-engine orchestration (engines 0–9) produces receipts you can inspect — we describe the pipeline, not mystique.
Passage, tradition preset, and provider routing (hosted, BYOK, or home) are visible in Settings — before and during the run.
Orchestration steps emit runtime receipts (safety filter, perspectives, synthesis, and related stages). You can follow progress instead of waiting on a black box.
The answer citation audit banner shows what was verified against your corpus and what was removed or flagged. Evidence panels tie claims back to scripture metadata where implemented.
Read, Compare, Concordance, and Lexicon can run deterministically from downloaded packs. That is separate from Ask, which needs a reachable model when you use AI features.
Save to Study Projects, export diagnostics where available, and cross-check with Passage Guide and Compare. BibleMind aids study; it does not replace pastors, scholars, or Scripture itself.
Concrete, inspectable behavior — aligned with our public pricing and legal copy.
BibleMind is a local-first study workbench with inspectable Ask receipts — not a theological authority or unlimited AI companion.
Ask runs through evidence verification and answer citation audit; unverified verse refs are stripped or flagged before you rely on them (see docs/GROUNDED_ASK_CITATION_AUDIT.md).
Downloadable corpus packs power Read, Compare, Concordance, and Lexicon without a model call. Ask requires connectivity for hosted or home inference (docs/OFFLINE_AND_SYNC.md).
Optional OpenAI BYOK and Ollama/LM Studio/home OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Routing and fallback policy are explicit (never / ask / hosted / deterministic) — docs/PROVIDER_PORTABILITY_BYOK.md.
Private and home prompts are not silently copied to BibleMind-hosted inference. Hosted fallback requires your chosen policy and confirmation when applicable.
Denomination and tradition presets shape Ask framing and receipts; they are user-selectable study lenses, not infallible church statements.
Free and Individual are the only purchasable plans. Hosted usage is metered and capped — not sold as unlimited (docs/CHEAP_LAUNCH_AND_INSTITUTION_ECONOMICS.md).
Engines, evidence metadata, and receipts aid study; they do not replace Scripture, scholars, pastors, or your own judgment.
Church and Seminary org billing is not for sale yet. Workspace Church/Congregation profiles in Settings are on-device study contexts, not seat licenses.
Sign up free, install a corpus pack if you want offline Read/Compare, and run Ask with citation audit and receipts visible before you consider Individual.
