AI Research Assistant - Not just smarter search

What I would like to have:

- Select a Scripture reference →  ask for “Research Commentaries [Select which ones to consider]: <user question/guidance for the AI>”.
- It answers with report over all my purchased commentaries, distilling an answer with links to the sources, showing where they disagree, express level of confidence regarding each conclusion"

It would be great if this could be implemented on-device (e.g. using future Apple AI technology. 
If it would be possible to have an CLI / MPC access to my purchased data (authorized by my Accordance account) to use the data via 3rd party AI tools (e.g. Claude), this would be awesome.

Else, I would be completely open to pay for this as a subscription where the AI model is running on Accordance servers (to control access to the licensed data) and create an additional revenue stream for you.

I really hope this is coming.

  You may be able to do this already with ChatGPT.  I find that if I go to ChatGPT & ask a Biblical intepretation question or Greek/Hebrew question, I get amazingly good results, not packed with woke or anti-Christian bias either. For example, you could ask ChatGPT to compare the interpretations of some question in a list of commentaries.  How do pre-tribbers interpret this verse as compared with Post-Toastie eaters' interpretations?  How do Calvinists interpret John 3:16 compared with Arminians?  Which commentaries interpret the construct of noun X in in what ways in Hezekiah 12:36.  Today I asked for how annihilationists interpret the verses which eternal torture damnationists consider proof texts.  I got a great list with the arguments of each side.

  The thing is that I want to have answers with references to my library, not generic answers. I'm already using general purpose LLMs to get a starting point, but I also need to look at the sources. And here ChatGTP etc don't help.
  
  If Accordance would provide an AI access to the bought library, this would be really valuable. It would motivate to buy more (because finding something is easier) and I would be willing to pay for this as a subscription.
