Example of how AI could be incorporated into Accordance

There have been many posts here regarding suggestions for incorporating AI into Accordance. AI incorporation is already underway in Logos, and I understand Accordance is seeking input as you consider how it might be utilized. Here is an example of something I needed to do today and how it might function in Accordance as an enhanced search feature. I could pose this question with additional parameters, but will keep it basic.

Today I needed to load a panel in Accordance with all of the scripture passages pertaining to Jesus’ baptism. In it’s current form, as far as I know, I would need to type in all of these scripture passages, separated by a semi-colon or comma. I cannot ask Accordance to do this for me. It will give me an error message if I try. However, if I type this phrase into an AI search engine, it will list the scripture references separated by commas.

“Show me all scripture references that contain gospel accounts of Jesus' baptism”

The search engine then returns this answer:

Matthew 3:13-17, Mark 1:9-11, Luke 3:21-22, and John 1:29-34

I can then copy and paste this into my Accordance 14 search box and it will open all of them in a window in my displayed Bible translation.

What if Accordance could do this? What if there is an option for an AI search where I could type the abovementioned search request and it would open the passages? Without ever leaving Accordance in order to use an AI search.

I think this would be incredibly helpful, efficient and effective.

Thanks so much for considering!

I use MCP server to Connect Claude with different apps on my computer. It is probably the most flexible and easiest way forward to develop a bridge to use with an AI of choice to work with Accordance.

What is an MCP server? I have Claude, and would like to implement it if I can

According to Claude

"An MCP Server (Model Context Protocol Server) is a program that exposes tools, data, and capabilities to an AI model like Claude in a standardized way.
Think of it as a bridge: Claude can't directly access your files, calendar, databases, or external services on its own — but an MCP server sits in between and gives Claude a defined set of actions it can call."

But I do believe integrating Natural Language search in Accordance would be totally awesome.
